Add "Breastfeeding" checkbox on calorie tile

Have a box that you can check that says you’re breastfeeding and have it add 500 calories to your allowance. Would be even better if there were more specific calculations like how many oz you’ve produced or how many minutes a day they nurse.

Please add a working option for breastfeeding mothers who burn extra calories each day but have no way of logging this or factoring this into their daily activities. It means our calories intake and burn amounts are incorrect. Nursing accounts for around 500 calories burnt every day.

Another vote from breastfeeding mum 🙋‍:female_sign: A lot of new mums are trying to get back to their pre pregnancy body, so that would be extremely useful

Another vote to add a breastfeeding checkbox from a bf mum. I’ve just got my first FitBit & I’m feeding at the moment, it would be really helpful. Thanks for reading.
