  5. It's really how much total breast milk the baby takes in over the period of the day. The average mom will make about 24 to 28 ounces of breast milk a day. It takes about 500 calories to make that much milk. Some of those calories come from fat stored during the pregnancy or previously, and some come from the mother's daily nutrition.
  6. Non personally,i do have breast,s but being a man i have trouble lactating
  7. If you have a baby with a normal appetite, it should be about 500 calories per day.
