%X Proper nutrition is a fundamental factor shaping human health. During lactation period, the demand for nutrients changes, as there is an increased need for calories as well as a greater demand for replenishing micronutrients and macronutrients. This is because of the mother’s need to nourish both herself and her child. The mother’s diet during breastfeeding can have a significant impact on the health and development of the child, as nutrients are transferred through breast milk. Consuming a variety of healthy foods can support the physical and mental development of the infant, providing them with essential nutrients. A decreased intake of nutrients can lead to a halt in milk production.
