2900 calories a day?!

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
How am I supposed to lose the baby weight if I have to eat that much?? This is according to my bf'ing book that has a calculation of your weight x a number + 500 to figure out how many calories a day you should eat to keep up your supply and be of optimal health benefits to lo. And it's not like I'm trying to get skinny here, but just getting close to my pre-pg weight would be nice.

    I read somewhere that you aren't supposed to get to pre preg weight while BF...it said to be around +8 pounds. who knows...that's google for you.

    or it might just be me to not feel guilty for eating snickerdoodles right now j/k  :)

    8lbs would be fine...but I'm well above that still.

    mine is 2000 a day but I can't reach that, I guess thats why Im so small now! Just eat what you can and be aware of your intake for your milk supply.
