How do i log babywearing, babywearing while exercising, and breastfeeding?
For breastfeeding do I just enter it once a day for 500 calories a day?

    I logged babywearing as backpacking only if I went out for a walk; I did not log babywearing around the house (i.e., cleaning, doing dishes, etc.). If you do a search for breastfeeding in your food diary, you should find one that will give you the negative calorie adjustment.

    Do I only log breastfeeding once a day or every time I feed?

    When I was breastfeeding I logged it once a day for 500 calories. But that was only when my daughter was little and ONLY breastfeeding. Once I started supplementing food and formula, I stopped logging it completely.
