  • Weight Watchers question

    I am wondering if any of you know how many additional points you get on WW while breastfeeding? I have the little points calculator slide thingy, but cannot afford to go to meetings right now.

    Women:-
    64kg and under - 18points
    65 to 79kg - 20 points

    However if you are breastfeeding the points change somewhat to accomodate for your bubs requirements. Depending on your baby's age, and feeding schedule the points allowed are below.

    Up to 6mths - Breast milk only = 32 points
    6 to 9 mths - Breast milk + some solids = 30 points
    9-12 mths - Breast milk + increased solids = 28 points
    12+ mths - Breast milk + regular meals = 26 points
    Found that through a google search....don't know if it makes sense with what you were thinking....

    I also saw some places that said to add 10 points for breastfeeding...and adjust according to weightloss and milk supply.

      I think it is 10 points if you are only breastfeeding and 5 points if you are breastfeeding and supplementing with formula and or cereal.
