Calories

[Tiffa130]

How many calories do I need to consume to stay healthy but still lose weight while breastfeeding?

I've heard conflicting amounts of 1200, 1500 & 1700

Whilst breastfeeding I would say 2000 calories.
Your body needs the calories & breastfeeding will burn extra calories too.

Calories needed is totally dependent on your current height/weight. Generally, body weight x 10 (if obese) or x 12 (if not) is a rough guide, + 500 for breastfeeding.
