The recommended intake of certain nutrients and fluids can even double during pregnancy and breastfeeding compared to other adults.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women need more. The recommended intake of certain nutrients and fluids can even double during pregnancy and breastfeeding compared to other adults.
Pregnant women after the 4th month
During pregnancy, the consumption of some nutrients in your body increases, and therefore it is important to consume them in sufficient quantities. Take care of a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Sufficient intake of nutrients is extremely important from the first moment you find out about the pregnancy.
Breastfeeding women
Meeting the increased need for nutrients is also extremely important during breastfeeding. Human milk from healthy mothers is the best food for the baby in the first six months of their life and has irreplaceable advantages over other feeding methods, as it enables the optimal development of the child and at the same time creates a special bond between the child and the mother.
Increased need for fluids
Hydration is also very important during pregnancy. Adequate intake of water is especially important because needs are increased. If the recommended fluid intake for an adult woman is 2 liters, it is increased by 3 dl during pregnancy. Since the basis of mother's milk is water, the need for fluids is somewhat greater even in breastfeeding women. Thus, we recommend that breastfeeding women drink 2.5 to 3 liters of liquid per day (7 dl more than the usual recommendations for adult women). Needs are additionally increased with intense sweating or temperature.
During the first months of pregnancy, additionally consume folic acid prescribed by your doctor. Take care of a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
