Discuss this problem with your Doctor, they will explain you better. Nupur' s answer is also somewhere relevant, but take precautions. Other than this, i have searched online and find some good products on babeezworld website. They are offering farlin' s various products at 10% discount. Even some other brands like chicco, pampers, johnson & johnson etc are available. I find this website very interesting. Even they are also running Facebook Page, where all babies related info, tips, advice are available. Check this out.
nupur replied. Some of the calories required for breast milk production are supplied by body fat reserves laid down during pregnancy. However, additional calories are needed over and above your pr-pregnancy intake to provide enough energy to supply the needs of your growing baby. As you start to wean your baby, your calorie needs will gradually return to pr-pregnancy levels.

Studies show that if you breastfeed your baby, you will reach your pr-pregnancy weight faster as compared to a mother who does not breastfeed.

The recommended dietary allowance for lactating mothers according to the Indian Council of Medical Research is as follows:

0 – 6 months – 550 Kcal /day
7- 12 months – 400 Kcal /day

However, recent research suggests that these figures are too high and that an extra 300-400 calories per day is enough for exclusively breastfeeding mothers during the first three months.
