Answer 1

For milk production alone, it is suggested that breastfeeding women, in general, must consume about 400 to 600 calories per day. It is because a nursing mother's body changes months after delivering. Her baby's breastfeeding patterns also change as the baby grows so the mother needs an extra amount of calories.
