How can you log breastfeeding?

My calorie intake will be too high since I can't figure out how to manually log breastfeeding.....

Is there a way to create an exercise to mimick this? I don't see how you can create your own exercise and manually enter calories burned.

Please help

Thanks

Hi

Breastfeeding should be possible to log as exercise.

From the Fitit Article: How do I track my exercise and activities with Fitbit?

MANUALLY LOGGING AN EXERCISE

You may want to manually log an exercise for several reasons:

• If you forgot to wear your tracker
• To get credit for a calorie-burning activity that isn't measurable by your tracker (such as breastfeeding) or one that is difficult for some trackers to detect (such as cycling)
• If your tracker doesn't offer SmartTrack or multisport (exercise) mode
• If you want to replace a SmartTrack or multisport exercise with manual data to improve your totals

For more information about why and how to log exercise manually, see How do I manually log an activity or exercise?

Breastfeeding doesn't coec up as an opitop of an activity. I put it in manually and the box goes red and deletes it when I put in the calorie info.

It is a big shame that breastfeeding isn't included. Lots of new mums want to lose weight after giving birth and this is just another obstacle in the way.
