There are many benefits to breastfeeding your baby, but did you know burning calories is one of them?
Yep, according toHealthline, breastfeeding moms tend to burn almost 500 calories per day (!!)
just from producing breast milk.
First of all, how often you breastfeed plays a huge part in how many calories you burn.
Secondly, it also depends on how much milk you actually produce.
In the simplest terms, the more breast milk, the more calories.
Ideally, you want to aim for a 1,800- to 2,200-calorie diet for good health and milk production.
