We are in the same boat! A class I took at the hospital stated that our bodies need between 45-50 extra calories per pound of baby per day. So if you had a 8 pound baby, you would want to consume between 360-400 more calories per day. This is reasonable while ensuring we don't overdue it.0

You can manually adjust your calories to add on the extra you need. Or you can log breastfeeding in the exercise journal.0
