Another breast feeding question
Hi, I am breastfeeding a 9 week old. My daily calorie amount is 1220. I know breast feeding requires an extra 500 calories. So, do I change my daily to 1720? I haven't been losing much weight but my calorie intake may have been too low! Just want to be sure I have my numbers right! Thanks!
