Pregnancy – Breastfeeding

Nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding directly affects both the mother and the fetus.

Proper nutrition during pregnancy is crucial for the health of the fetus, and it is essential to meet all necessary nutrients throughout the pregnancy.

A balanced diet not only contributes to better pregnancy outcomes but also improves the health of the baby.

By following a proper dietary plan, you ensure better health for both you and your baby, and your weight gain remains within recommended levels.

The dietary plan differs in each trimester of pregnancy, as energy needs and nutrient requirements change.

During breastfeeding, the production of more and higher-quality milk is directly related to the mother’s nutrition.

The breastfeeding mother has specific dietary requirements for energy (calories), proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, making nutritional education very important.

Collaboration with a dietitian can positively contribute to the education process, ensuring sufficient energy and nutrients during the demanding journey of motherhood.
