I have just bought a zip and am using it alongside my weight watchers app. However, much of the Fitbit info is useless to me as I can't work out how to account for the calories burned breastfeeding. Luckily, I can use weight watchers to ensure I'm eating enough food and therefore calories but others might not and might therefore undereat and risk affecting their milk supply.
Am I missing something? Is there a really obvious button I've missed? If not, please consider this, Fitbit folk. I can't imagine I'm the only one...

@MRSWOOD welcome to our Community! Congratulations on your baby! The Fitbit dashboard has no direct way to take the calories spent during breastfeeding. What I can see as a workaround is to create an activity and manually log the activity. You can look for more information about nursing calories here, there are several interesting discussions on the subject. 

 

Let me know if it helps. See you around!
