How many calories a day do you burn breastfeeding?

Question

Are there any safe diet pills (that work) to take while breastfeeding?

Answer 1

I'm not finding the specific number of calories; and of course it depends on the amount of milk you are producing. Here are a couple articles on weight loss while breastfeeding:

Answer 2

Diet pills are not a good option while pregnant or breastfeeding.
You burn about (on an average) 1000 calories a day while breastfeeding.
If you continue to eat normally and breastfeed each day, you will eventually start losing weight due to lower net caloric intake.
