I know that when breastfeeding, one needs to add calories and water. Is there anywhere on MFP to figure in these extra calories I should be taking in?

    Since many people use "recent posts" I don't think the location is really an issue.

    You can enter in breastfeeding in your food diary. There are many entries based on the age of the child and the amount you're feeding. I used the Exclusive -500 calories for the first 8 months or so and then dropped to older baby until she was down to a couple nursing sessions at around 17 months at which point I stopped logging it completely.

    Best of luck!
