Back again
I just had a baby and so I'm back here to help me lose the baby weight. Does anyone know if there's a way to note that I'm breastfeeding when calculating my needed calories?

2nd week on here

breast-feeding???
I have a 4 month old son and though he's not exclusively breast-fed I was hoping to continue to feed him about 1/2 of his daily feedings and not completely wean him. How do I factor that into the weightloss equation?

I guess I'll introduce myself
I am new MFP, as of this week. I have been lurking and reading and am encouraged by how many of you are truly succeeding at your weightloss efforts. I'm 26 and a mother of 4 (3 of which are my biological children). My oldest Biological daughter is 4 1/2 and my youngest biological child is 4 months. Before having kids I was…
