XP from health and fitness: my fitness pal app

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

My daughter is 20 months old and I am using the my fitness pal app. I nurse her 2-3x a day. I am wondering how many calories I burn breast feeding. I am guessing 150-300? I know it's not 500!

    They have an older baby/minimal feedings option that gives you 200. That's what I used when DD was over a year and nursing 2-3 times a day.

    BFing burns 20 calories per ounce, so if you have an idea how much she's eating, you can use that.

    When you are logging your food for the day, search "breastfeeding" where you would search for food to log.  It will give you several options, choose the one that best describes you.  It will automatically give you back the calories.

    I can't find anything in the app that has anything to do with nursing. I know weight watchers has something, but no luck yet on my fitness pal! 

     I sent an email through the feedback on their site. I'll post any answer I receive.
