Did u guys know that breastfeeding moms need more nutrition (also calories intake per day) than pregnant moms?
I'm still in my holiday and feel bored then i was just trying to read a few pages of the book for next semester's study. I just found out that breastfeeding moms need 500–700 additional calories per day, while pregnant moms only need 300 additional calories per day.
That was quite surprising for me..

It does take a lot out of you having to be the source of food with them in and out of your body. This is why I don't understand how there are men who treat women badly when their own mothers gave so much of themselves to make the men,

Of course they do. They're feeding themselves and the baby.
