I have read that you burn 20 calories for every ounce your baby takes in. so I created my own little way of tracking to supplement my calorie defecit. I only nurse at night but I have a 6 month old who is taking in about 18 oz over the course of an evening. for me that is a spendiature of about 360 calories so I create and activity that equals that amount.
Hope this helps!
