there isn't any option to mark if your nursing a child or not. I know that means I need to eat a bit more. but how much more. how do i know when enough is enough?

    You can also set custom goals so it knows the total you want per day. i do not know how many to add for breast feeding but you can just add that total to the recomended total by setting a custom goal.

    Weight Watchers has a program for nursing mom's and there recommendation is about 500 extra calories if the infant is solely nursing and once the infant starts to eat solids you can slowly reduce the amount of calories you are eating, hope this helps.
