Caloric intake
Do breastfeeding mothers need more calories?
Yes. Breastfeeding mothers generally need more calories to meet their nutritional needs.
To be well-nourished, breastfeeding mothers need 340 to 400 more kilocalories (kcal) per day than the amount they consumed before pregnancy. This means approximately 2,000 to 2,800 kcal per day for breastfeeding women versus 1,600 to 2,400 kcal per day for moderately active women who are not pregnant and not breastfeeding.
The number of additional calories needed for a breastfeeding woman is affected by her age, body mass index, activity level, and whether she is exclusively breastfeeding or both breastfeeding and formula feeding.
Use the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) Calculator for Health Care Professionals to estimate calorie needs.
See the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020–2025 from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) for more information.
