Define Effect of Enery on quality and quantity of human milk?
Energy: In case of chronic under nutrition, an association between postpartum weight loss and lower energy transfer may occur. In dietary supplementation trials, increasing maternal energy intake did not help much in increasing energy transfer except in women whose initial fat reserves were very low. In women with adequate fat reserves, apparently a gradual weight loss up to 0.5 kg/week may not adversely affect lactation.
