This is a stage in a woman’s
life when she needs a very specific nutritional intake. The
future mother must “build” her baby’s bone and
tissue structures.
Breastfeeding demands a significant increase in the mother’s
calorie intake: basically, the mother has to “produce the
milk”, Both these experiences are also examples of stages
during which it is essential to increase calcium and protein
intake. Milk is still one of the few foodstuffs that can provide
an adequate amount of these nutrients and guarantee their nutritional
quality.
