Maternal energy needs during lactation
Energy needs during lactation
Total energy cost of lactation derived from energy content of milk plus the energy required to produce it
Estimated energy requirements of lactation
0-6 months postpartum:
2000 kJ above NPNL
Estimated energy requirements of lactation
>6 months postpartum
1680 kJ above NPNL
Breastfeeding and weight loss: Studies suggest that in the first 3 months postpartum
the rate of weight loss is similar in lactating and non lactating women
Breastfeeding and weight loss:
Several studies have reported that women who lactate
longer and more intensively lose weight more rapidly between 3 and 6 months postpartum than women who exclusively bottle-feed or those who lactate less fully or for a shorter duration
Exclusive breastfeeding
Before 2001 recommendation:
Recommended EBF for 4-6months
Exclusive breastfeeding
After 2001 recommendation:
Recommend EBF for the first 6 months
The review concluded that infants EBF to 6 months experienced
less morbidity from gastrointestinal infection but there were no differences in growth between EBF periods
Recommended after 6 moths of EBF
Thereafter, infants should receive complementary foods with continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond
Ozfits vs first foods ????
First foods is better for initiated breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, any breastmilk (5-6mo) and any breastmilk (10-11mo)
breastfeeding practices
vary widely across regions some regions face greater challenges than others
Human infants and young chilren are most likely to ……….. when breastfed
Most likely to survive, grow and develop to their full potential when breastfed
When the increase of fluids anything other than breastmilk then the more percent chance
there is going to be problems with breastfeeding
Exclusive breastfeeding means
That from birth the babu receives only breast milk (from the breast or expressed) and prescribed medicines, where necessary.
Partial breastfeeding means
That the baby receives some breast milk (from the breast or expressed) and some infant formula or other solid food
