Any advice for how many “extra” calories a breastfeeding mom needs to safely lose??

    I have heard the standard is to eat at normal maintenance calories and the extra burned from breastfeeding is your deficit.

    I set my diary to gain half a pound a week and I’m currently losing it instead. I tried the exercise diary but I think I ate more in the end.
