Appendices

Appendix A: Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

The times before, during, and after pregnancy are of paramount importance for obtaining adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. Excellent nutrition is also vital for breastfeeding women and young children.

All of the B vitamins are needed in greater quantities during pregnancy. Higher amounts of folic acid are needed in the diets of pregnant women to prevent neural tube defects in their children. Pregnant women are advised to take 400 to 800 mcg of folic acid to supplement the amount of folic acid available from fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and in fortified food. Folic acid supplements are especially valuable from one month before conception through the first trimester of pregnancy.

Vitamin A in the forms found in animal products and in the forms found in many supplements can cause birth defects in the children of pregnant women if consumed in excess. Beta-carotene, found in fruits and vegetables, is a safe source of vitamin A for pregnant women. Pregnant women should limit their supplemental vitamin A to 5000 IU or less daily.

Abundant vitamin K in the diet is important for breastfeeding women, especially in the first few weeks of breastfeeding. This vitamin helps reduce excess bleeding in the newborn. Supplemental vitamin K is normally prescribed for newborn infants. Vitamin K is abundant in green vegetables.

Calcium and phosphorus are needed by pregnant women for fetal bone formation. Phosphorus is needed to form the structure of both DNA and RNA. Adequate dietary calcium is needed to prevent calcium losses from bones of the mother.
