Sandrat if you are exclusively breastfeeding here are the numbers of healthy extras you need. I will type out exactly what the leaflet says below.
"Energy and calcium intake
The table below is a list of the total recommended number of healthy extras for various stages of breastfeeding, whether you're following extra easy, green or original. Out of the total, three or preferably four should be from the milk and cheese section. When breastfeeding your recommended daily intake of calcium increases from 700mg to 1,250mg."
Baby's age. Total HE's EE. G or O
Up to 2 months. 5. 7
2-3 months. 6. 8
4-6 months (if weaning). 5. 7
4-6 months (exclusive b/f). 6. 8
Over 6 months when weaning 3. 5
Sandrat, you need to make sure you have your additional healthy extras otherwise your milk supply could be affected and your baby may not get all the nutrition needed from it. I know it's hard to get them into your diet at first, I found it hard, but it is for the benefit of both you and your baby, and you will still continue to lose weight. I've been exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months and am just introducing solids now. I've had all the extra healthy extras recommended each day and I've lost 2 stone 9lbs in the 16 weeks that I've been on slimming world, so your weight loss won't suffer for them. Your consultant either hasn't had very much experience with breastfeeding mothers, hasn't got any booklets to consult, or needs retraining because she needs to be making sure that your health and that of your baby comes first by giving you the correct information, which she clearly is not.

Shocking that there are consultants out there giving out wrong info! Sammys right you need to make sure you have all the extras. Youll feel like you never stop eating but you will loose weight lol

I lost 1.5lbs this week! Really pleased with that have now lost 2 stone 10.5lbs on slimming world and 4 stone 3.5lbs in total since I had my little boy just under 6 months ago. Jack will be 6 months old on Thursday and i've just started weaning him this week, so my extra healthy extras will decrease now, so let's see how that affects the scales (if it does at all!)
I'm booked off of weigh in for the next two weeks as I have weekends planned with friends, so don't have another official weigh in until three weeks from today. I've decided that that makes it the perfect time for me to start doing the 30 day shred, as any initial potential weight gain from the sudden exercise should be gone by my next weigh in and i'm determined that next time i'm in class i WILL be getting my 3 stone award, so no slacking for me in the next three weeks! I just did the first session, and let me tell you, it felt like a lot more than 20 minutes! There's a lot packed into one session! It was hard, but not quite as bad as I was expecting, I managed to do the advanced version of everything except the push ups, but my goal is to be able to do them by the end. Hopefully it will tone me up and get me well on my way to a size 12! My bridesmaids have booked me in to go wedding dress shopping in january so i want to be as close to a size 12 as possible for then xx

Hiya fay!
I haven't been doing sw long no but I found out from this thread that when baby is 6+ months then you get a total of 3 HE's on EE or 5 on G or O. So on EE you could have 2 a's and 1 b for example. You get 15 syns per day regardless of plan or baby age etc.
I'm pretty sure that's ok any way lol so please someone correct me if I have that wrong!
