Added incentive for breastfeeding mums

Everyone knows 'breast is best' for feeding babies but only one in five mums stick at it past the six weeks mark which shows you just how tough it can be.

Some days I feel very cow-like (not helped by the fact my brain has turned to mush) and catch myself staring longingly at the tubs of formula in Boots.

My motivation was slipping this week until I discovered that breastfeeding women need an extra 500 calories a day. 500 calories! That's a whole extra dinner.

It's also:

One giant bar (100g) of Cadbury's Dairy Milk (530 calories)

Two x Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts (428 calories)

One McDonald's hamburger and fries (480 calories)

Hmmm, maybe I'll persevere...
