Yes yes yes! talk to your doctor to see how many minimum calories you can consume in order to still produce enough milk. Nursing is a mothers natural weight loss strategy, you burn sooo many more calories!0

"As a general guideline, most women who are breastfeeding will need about 200 to 500 calories more than moms who aren't – which would mean a minimum of 2,000 to 2,700 calories per day."

When I was nursing on a regular schedule I added nursing under the exercise section and added the number of calories allotted for nursing.0
