Blimey!! How was the 20month old when you stopped and started feeding the baby? I wonder what happens if you have twins- if you have to have even more hex?!!
Breastfeeding burns an average of 500 calories a day, with the typical range from 200 to 600 calories burned a day. It's estimated that the production of 1 oz. of breast milk burns 20 calories. Babies who are exclusively breastfed consume an average of 25 oz. of breast milk a day, meaning that moms burn 500 calories a day. The normal range of breast milk taken in by 1- to 6-month-old babies is 19 to 32 oz. a day. The amount varies after six months, depending on how much solid food the baby eats.
