If i feed my 19 mnth old for 1 hour 10 min .. how many calories am i giving him !
Question: I know regular breastfeeding can burn around 500 calories a day. Also, ignore the people above me, although it's more unusual in this day to breastfeed that long, it's perfectly healthy to breastfeed for up to 2 years old. Most doctors would recommend breastfeeding for at least a year; the World Health Organization suggests two years.
Not only does it boost his immunity and provide him with the nutrients he needs but you're also forming his palatal arch and teeth properly which encourages normal development of bones and muscles in the face around the mouth and can help avoid future TMJ problems (temporomandibular joint). As far as how many calories the baby is taking in, i'm not sure, but since they're eating regular food also i'm sure they're fine. If they're hungry they'll let you know!
