Nutrition & Wellness

Pregnant and lactating adult women require an additional 40% of calcium a day (1200-1500 mg per day). Almost all of the extra calcium goes into the baby's developing bones. To get this extra calcium, 3 extra servings (3 cups) of milk or dairy products are needed. The mother should consume 2,000 to 8,000 milligrams of sodium a day during pregnancy. ................
