18 would be far too little points for a breastfeeding mum.... so ensure that you eat 28 points every day.... or it will affect your milk supply and energy levels.

Even non-breastfeeding women start off with around 28-21 points (depending on all the factors above).... usually you get to the 18 points when you are close to goal weight!

You can even add MORE points if you are doing any form of exercise. Although they are 'bonus' points, and dont' have to be eaten.

God luck... and if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer.
