Nutritional Needs During Pregnancy and Lactation
When a woman is going to have a baby or is feeding a baby with milk from her body, it is important for her to eat healthy food. This helps the baby grow strong and healthy. Mommies need lots of vitamins and minerals during this special time. They should make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink milk for strong bones, and have protein from foods like meat and eggs. It’s important to remember that mommies should always talk to a doctor or nutritionist to know what foods are best for them and the baby.
