    Lactation | Common Nutritional Problems and Recommended Diet

    BREASTFEEDING
     Gold standard for infant feeding which aids in the infant’s proper nutrition and natural immune
    system.
     Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months and breastfeeding for at least the
    first year.
    GENERAL CONSIDERATION
     Breastfeeding mothers need more calories to meet nutritional needs. They need an additional 450-
    500 kcal per day which is approximately 2,300-2,500 kcal per day.
     The diet of lactating others won’t affect the quantity and/or caloric value of the breastmilk.
    COMMON NUTRITIONAL PROBLEMS
    1. Weight loss - caused by deficit of the required calorie per day.
    Intervention: Increase in calorie intake through diverse and healthy food choices or by
    following the recommended diet for lactating mothers.
    2. Inadequate Calcium - the body will remove calcium from the bone to supply it to the
         breastfeeding infant.
    - studies have shown 3-5% reduction in lactating mother’s bone mass
    due to calcium deficiency.
    3. Constipation - caused by failure to consume adequate water and fiber.
    Intervention: Increase water intake and include fiber-rich foods in the diet.
    RECOMMENDED DIET
    1. Water - 8 glasses of water
    2. Vegetables - 3cups of vegetables per day
    3. Protein - additional 25 grams per day
    4. Fruits - 2 cups of fruits a day
    5. Dairy - 3 cups of dairy products a day.

    LIMITATIONS & RESTRCTIONS

    1. Caffeine - may cause poor sleeping pattern, fussiness,


    and irritability to infants.
    2. Seafoods - mercury content of some fish may cause
    adverse effect to the brain and nervous system of the
    infants.
    3. Spicy or gas-producing foods - may cause infants to
    be gassy or to experience diarrhea.
