Calories burned while breastfeeding?
So I was reading a question on here the other day about how many calories you should be eating per day while breastfeeding. this girl actually made the statement that a person burns 500 calories each time they breastfeeding. Which means for an average baby who nurses 6 times per day according to her data, the person would burn 3000 calories a day and that they should be eating 5000 calories per day. Am I the only person who thinks this girl is totally off her rocker? Everyone knows you only burn about 500 calories per day by breastfeeding and that you should only be taking in about 300 extra calories per day same as pregnancy.
I’d just like to know where she got her info from…
I’m thinking she probably didn’t do well in reading comprehension. You only burn 500 a DAY, not each session. That would be absurd and there would be a heck of a lot more skinny mommies running around.
