Nutrition for Optimal Lactation
Optimal maternal nutrition during lactation supports the mother’s health, as well as the infant’s growth and development. Breastfeeding increases energy and nutrient demands, making adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and vitamin D essential. Balanced diets, appropriate supplementation, and strong breastfeeding support can help sustain milk quality, prevent deficiencies, and promote continued breastfeeding success.
