And finding some days the calorie allowance just isn't enough, to the point where I shake if I don't eat!
Is there any settings on here so MFP knows your BF'ing and changes calories accordingly?

Hi!
I don't know of a way you can do this but I know on average you burn 500 cals/day breastfeeding, and the need for adequate hydration is essential too! Add an extra 500 so you and Baby are getting enough nutrients. (I'm a student Midwife so I tell my ladies this all the time)
Hope this helps

Yes, search breastfeeding under foods and add 500 calories a day if your baby is exclusively BF and not on solids, and 300 calories if they are not nursed as often and get solids (my DD is 8 ½ months old and this is what I do.) Definitely start eating more, you don’t want to be shaking or worse, affecting your milk supply by not eating enough.0

He is EBF at the moment but will be introducing him to Baby Rice in the next few weeks.0
