Anyone know if there is a way to figure in the calories burned breastfeeding?

    You have to add it yourself. I did some research and it seems, once you aren't feeding through the night anymore, you burn about 100 cals per nursing session. You burn upwards of 600 cals a day for a newborn, but only about 400 for a six to 12 month old. Good luck :) I always love the "free" cals!!

    it is in the food data base. add it like you would food. it is based on number of ounces you produce and will give you negative calories.
