calories needed for pregnancy and breastfeeding
It is important to eat well. Depending on how old your nursing child is, you may need an additional 650 calories a day if he is under six months, or about 500 if he is now eating other foods. This is on top of the additional 350 (second trimester) and 450 (third trimester) calories you need during pregnancy.our milk is safe for your breastfeeding child. Although very small amounts of pregnancy hormones pass into your milk, they are not considered to be harmful. In a nutshell, if you're having a normal pregnancy and are healthy, then there is no physical or medical reason not to breastfeed when pregnant.
