    I breast feed my 10 month old baby and log it under food as breast feeding - child eats other food. I'm given 300 extra calories. When I first started MFP I didn't know I could log it but a friend showed me how. My Bubba breast feeds for comfort on top of food so I know he helps me burn at LEAST 300 calories. I do eat back those calories because before I started doing it, I found myself very hungry, and it wasn't just the new diet talking. Once I ate the extra 300 cals, I was satisfied. I would rather use those calories to eat healthy foods to make my milk just that much more healthy for the little guy anyway. I mean, if he's eating all my vitamins and nutrients, I need to take care of me too. :)
