Bigger Budget
Friday, January 25, 2008
Well, you know how I had decided to cut my extra 10 nursing points off of my daily Weight Watchers points allowance? Turns out that's not a very good idea. I got on one of the WW message boards and asked when other nursing moms start to cut their extra points due to their babes not nursing as often. The replies were unanimous that I should not cut my 10 extra nursing points and the general rule of thumb (though WW doesn't have an "official" stance) is that each nursing session is worth 2 points, up to a max of 10 points. Scout is definitely still nursing more than 5 times a day, so I guess I'm back to my 38 point allowance.
That's a lot, but I'm now being very judicious about HOW I spend my points instead of just going at the whole thing with a half-assed approach.
FYI, You can see my daily food journal toward the bottom of the righthand sidebar.

Good to know because I was considering cutting my points> Bailey has at least four "good" nursings a day and about ten random one or two minute snacks, so I guess I'm in the same boat as you.

that IS good to know. I don't nurse..but it's good to know for anyone I know that does and is trying to lose weight. Even if they're not in WW.
