    It's in the food database. Just search for breastfeeding like you would any other food. It adds negative calories.

    Or you can log it as exercise.
    I got sick of adding it over and over, so I just set my goal to maintenance and let the breastfeeding be my defecit. Worked a charm.

    If by chance you are syncing MFP with FitBit, you can check a box for breastfeeding in your fitbit profile (it only shows you this option when looking at your account/profile online, not in the mobile app) and it will adjust your calorie burn accordingly and sync back with MFP.
