    I'm certainly no expert so hopefully one will pop in, but for my weight (60-70kgs) and height (165cm) that works for me.
    If you have a look at Calorie King dot com dot au there is quite a good assessment.

    In MFP you can enter breastfeeding and it has a pre-entered range.
    For exclusively breastfeed bubba it is normally 500cals extra they add to exercise.
    Once baby is on solids you might choose the 3-4 feeds option etc.

    I went on Jenny Craig when ds was a couple of months old and I was full time breastfeeding. I was on 1800 cals per day. ds is about 14 months old now and I will start calorie counting in the new year but will be on 1200 then. Good luck with your weight loss.
