Nursing mothers?

I just had a baby a week ago, and I am nursing. I know on Weight Watchers, you get extra calories per day if you are nursing. Does anyone know if there is a place on MFP where I can indicate that I am nursing?

    Search the food journal for nursing or breastfeeding. There are several options available.

    I added it in my food. There is one that say exclusively breastfeeding. It adds 500 more calories to my diet.

    Congrats on the baby! I'm still nursing at 8 months and it helps! Good luck!
