    I'm a first time mom, breastfeeding my almost 4 week old! I want to lose more weight but I'm scared of losing my milk supply! I've already lost 25 pounds, and I still have 20 to go

    Hi I've added everyone I'm so excited to have friends we can all motivate each other .... as for calorie goals for breastfeeding I added 400 because I read that somewhere and so far it has been working for me very well hope this helps

    Hey there! I've been a breastfeeding momma for 2yrs now (and am probably ending the end of this journey soon).

    It takes ~20 calories to produce 1 ounce of milk. Most people will recommend eating an extra 500 calories a day, but it varies a lot depending on demand (I BF my 2yr old, so I factor +300 as she eats mostly solids).

    P.S. I've noticed eating oats increases supply and, of course, drinking plenty of water.

    Breastfeeding my 8 week old and just rejoined MFP to track my eating. Finding it hard to stay full every day, especially in the afternoons. Also trying to fit in exercise again after being a bit sedentary through this pregnancy. Would love to follow some fellow bf-ing moms out there!
