@nikkichaney926 Hey! I’m currently bf my 5 month old and want to lose another 10lbs. I’ve been watching/ tracking what I eat since he was 3 months old and doing good so far. I’m 5ft 3 and exclusively bf at the moment and eating around 1900 calories a day. I would suggest adding around 300-500 calories to whatever the app automatically sets for you weight/ height1
