Breastfeeding 10 month old. is 1200 calories per day enough for me? trying to lose five pounds.

No: Severely restricting your calories will decrease your breast milk supply. Try to get at least 1500 or more and increase your exercise rather than decreasing your intake. Make sure you take in plenty of water too.
