How many calories does breast milk have?
⚡ Short answer: Mature breast milk has about 65-70 calories per 100 ml on average, but this value naturally changes throughout the day and during breastfeeding, so you don't need to worry about counting calories — if your baby's appetite and weight gain are good, your milk is meeting their needs.

How many calories does breast milk have? Everyone around me is saying something different.

If you need an exact number, mature breast milk has about 65-70 calories per 100 ml on average. However, this value changes throughout the day (morning milk may be lighter, evening milk may be fattier) and during breastfeeding (the first milk coming out is more watery and lower in calories, while the milk coming later is fattier and higher in calories). That's why people around you say different things — even the same mother's milk varies from hour to hour.
The important point is this: Breast milk always adjusts to your baby's needs, so you don't need to count calories. If your baby has a good appetite and is gaining weight well, there's no point in worrying about numbers.
