I'm a breastfeeding mom and am trying to lose a bit of my pregnancy weight. I've been using mfp which I LOVE (it's such a great help) but couldn't find out how many calories I burn feeding baby till I found this site -> http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/calories-burned

If you’re in a similar situation you may want to check it out, loosing weight is tough and everything helps :)

    Hi,

    you burn around 500 cals breastfeeding solely . less if your weaning or using top up formula.
