    Agreed with this post. I can't help, but I'd like to know as well! Special dietary information could be supplied, etc. if it isn't a thing, it definitely should be!

    No, there's no pregnant or breastfeeding option.

    The best you can do is make a custom goal or log it as good or exercise (negative calorie adjustments, etc)

    Dang! I was really hoping there was a way. They should really add that feature!

    there's a negative calorie item for breastfeeding - you book that as "food" and it effectively increases your calorie allowance

    You can add breastfeeding as a cardio exercise and it gives you another almost 400 calories a day.

    I tired to search it as exercise and nothing came up.

    I add mine under cardio. It seems to be the best My Fitness Pal can do. They should give us better options!

    Like the previous poster, I just went through and added it under food. If you search breastfeeding, it will pop-up and give you negative calories/protein/carbs, etc.
