Nutrition in Pregnancy and Lactation
Proper nutrition during pregnancy and lactation is essential for the health of both mother and baby. Key nutrients such as iron, calcium, folic acid, and DHA are critical for fetal growth and brain development. After childbirth, increased calorie and fluid intake supports breastfeeding. Adequate nutrition and dietary guidance can help prevent complications like anemia and low birth weight. A balanced diet, along with fortified foods and supplements, ensures positive health outcomes and promotes overall well-being for both mother and child.
