How many extra calories are required for a breast feeding mother?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Extra calories: Rather than extra calories a breastfeeding mother should eat a healthy and balanced diet. A nutritionist can provide you with such a diet.

None: If you want to lose your baby weight, just eat a balanced nutrition and ignore the calorie loss through breast milk.The average kid will get 300-400 cal/day over the months of breastfeeding which could help you drop a pound every 10 days or so. If you don't have weight to lose, continue a balanced nutrition and vitamins with the adjustment for baby's needs.
