    For some - yes, others - no.

    I am breastfeeding and don't know if it helps or not. All I know is I make sure I add it to my food diary so I am getting the extra calories/food. Also plenty of water.

    I feed baby more than six times a day so I do 300 calories extra. As she drops feeds I will drop my calorie allowance for that also. Although she is nine months and has solids, it doesn't look like she wants to stop anytime soon.
