Abstract

Food consumption data indicate that in most studies the cumulative increase in food intake over pregnancy shows enormous variation between individuals. There are good arguments against setting one specific recommendation for increased intake for all pregnant women. In well-nourished women, little relationship exists between maternal diet and milk production: mothers appear to protect breast-feeding through the depletion of their own body stores
