Can someone help me figure out breastfeeding and calories?
My daughter still is EBF. I know that EBF means we deduct 500 calories or so to account for the calories burned from making milk. And I know that my supply is best around 1600-2000 calories daily. I know there's debate about eating back exercise calories and all that. Should I also be eating back all the calories burned…

Scratch scratch scratch!
So, when did I start breastfeeding a demonic cat? My chest is covered in scratches from my daughter! We trim and file her nails but she just loves to dig her nails into my chest while nursing! She is almost 1 and telling her no hasn't worked. She laughs when I tell her no. And then she uses me as a scratching post while…

diastasis recti mamas
Anyone here have this after they had their baby? I'm having a hard time working out the way I want to because of this...and the weight loss has been a bit iffy.

I pump at work and I can tell if my supply…

Lower pelvic support
Does anyone else here still have some lower pelvic issues? I've found that after a workout, I will be sore down in that area. It's similar to how I felt after delivering my daughter. My midwife told me to take it easy and I feel as though I am, but perhaps I need a pelvic support belt. Or is this still completely normal?…

I have a hard time eating enough calories
My weight loss has been painfully slow, and since joining MFP, I think I've finally figured out why. I'm just not eating enough. I mean, I don't feel hungry at all and with the -500 calories deducted from EBF, I can be at 1200 calories a day or below. I drink nursing tea to make sure my supply doesn't suffer too much,…
