Yup this is what I've read but it doesn't seem as though many go by this formula so it makes me wonder.

Maybe try to be on the higher end of your calories and see if that improves production?

She's older but nurses a lot and isn't a big fan of solids most days.

My youngest is 13 months :)

You rock for tandem nursing! I added you :)

Exactly which is why the praise confused me so much

THIS so hard!!!

I would love to be in the mind set of someday under and somedays over based on hunger and fullness levels but I also like a gauge beyond that because sometimes they cues can lead to a danger zone for me personally. It's hard to see so many different numbers or guidelines haha I just want the right one that will lead me to…

1200 in my opinion seems very low unless you sit ALL day long.

I'm so happy to see you give people crap lol. It always seems odd to see so much praise for being 500-700 under calories.

See this is where I feel there is the conflicting info. It seems split with people who say that extra should be eaten and others claiming 1200 is what should be eaten since that seems to be where mfp starts people 1200-1400. I've hear of some people eating based on their tdee which also calculates calories burned. Maybe…

How did you add the ww points

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions :)????????

Good idea, thank you

Thank you everyone!!!!

Thanks everyone!

I've noticed :(

I think certain things in the article make sense but it also isn't a universal no, some women do have to eat high calories or special diets or drink a ton. It definitely varies person to person and if you don't eat or drink enough your supply will tank.

I've read that it isn't good to go below 1500-1800 cals a day while breastfeeding, there is a site that will tell you how many calories based on your weight,height,age and activity level, http://www.freedieting.com/tools/breastfeeding_calorie_calculator.htm

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ This site is great as well

I personally used this to calculate http://www.freedieting.com/tools/breastfeeding_calorie_calculator.htm then I looked here to see if it was close to my TDEE and it is http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator
