Proper maternal nutrition during lactation is important to support breastfeeding. The woman should consume 500 extra calories per day on top of her pre-pregnancy needs. She needs adequate fluid intake of 1-2 liters per day to support milk production. Her diet should include foods rich in vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy fats that are important for breast milk composition. Regular small, nutritious meals and snacks help meet increased nutritional demands of lactation.
