Question

How many extra calories sholud a mother take while she is breatfeeding?

Answer 1

"Studies have shown that most healthy breastfeeding women maintain an abundant milk supply while taking in 1800-2200(or more) calories per day. Consuming less than 1800-2200 calories per day (most women should stay at the heigh end of this range) may put your milk supply at risk, as may a sudden drop in calorie intake.
