Abstract:

Many parents wonder how to fuel their own bodies while lactating. They seek optimal ways to nourish themselves so that they can continue to nourish their little ones. Although babies tend to have most of their needs met via breast milk, there are some considerations for lactating parents that impact their nutritional status and the composition of their breast milk. The purpose of this presentation is to help families and providers understand and bring to awareness those key nutritional components to help parents and their babies fuel their bodies to obtain an optimal nutrition status and assist them in feeling their best.
