Nutrient Adequacy of Pregnant & Lactating Mothers

Women who are neither pregnant nor lactating are significantly more likely to be meeting their calorie and protein requirements than those who are pregnant or lactating. That is, pregnancy and/or lactation status exerts a depressing effect on the nutrient adequacy ratio of an adult woman. The nutrient adequacy ratios are lowest for pregnant or lactating women, followed by those for women who are both pregnant and lactating.

Cont….Economic position, measured in terms of

per capita expenditure on food/day, is the most important factor affecting the nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women.

Some Physiological Aspects Of Breast Milk Production

Milk production is initiated in the breasts in the post-partum period due to prolactin production and decreased estrogen and progesterone after delivery of the placenta.

Cont…. Lactogenesis is delayed by stressful

events around delivery. Women who underwent an urgent

Cesarean section or had a long duration of labor before vaginal deliveries were more likely to have a delayed onset of breast fullness in the first days after delivery

Cont….Risk factors for delayed onset of lactation are:Stage II labor > 1 hrpre-pregnant maternal BMI > 27 kg/m^2breastfeeding problems at day 3, and being primiparous flat or inverted nipples at day 7
