I am about to give birth to my 4th child any day now, and I am eager to get back on track with MFP. I lost over 20 pounds using MFP before I got pregnant, and I gained 25 with the pregnancy. I want to start losing soon after I have the baby and was wondering if MFP had a setting for Nursing Moms?

    I don't think it does, but you can customize your calorie goal to account for the fact that you're breastfeeding. I believe you need to add about 500 calories per day while nursing to your calorie allowance. Hope this helps!

    You can add it to your food diary every day. Just click on "Snack" and then add Breastfeeding there.
