Frequently Asked Questions

How many extra calories?

The tool estimates burn from milk volume: ~0.67 kcal per mL, with per-feed volumes of 60–210 mL by baby age. Defaults (3 months, 8 feeds) give 960 mL/day and about 643 kcal burned. Actual supply varies widely — treat it as an estimate.

Losing weight while nursing?

Mild deficits are generally compatible; aggressive cuts can dip supply. Prioritize protein and hydration over speed.

Hydration needs?

Drink to thirst plus extra — a glass per feed session is the practical rule. Dehydration dents supply before hunger does.

Do nursing figures upload?

No — math runs locally in your browser. Health data never leaves your device.
