Weight Changes, Nutritional Intake, Food Contaminants, and Supplements in Women of Childbearing Age, including Pregnant Women: Guidelines for Interventions during the Perinatal Period from the French National College of Midwives

Recent studies highlight the value of paying attention to weight issues from the preconceptional period. It is important to call attention to the need for folate supplementation and to promote a varied and balanced diet throughout pregnancy to cover essential nutritional needs.

“…This subject is discussed in detail in chapter 3. 51 In most situations, inadequate weight gain is related to inadequate milk production, which in turn is related to inadequate stimulation of the breast (mother-baby separation or lack of rooming-in, reduced skin-to-skin contact, restriction of frequency or duration of BF sessions, strict schedules, baby conceived through fertility therapy, or difficulties in the transition to extrauterine life), and/or inadequate milk transfer (due, for example, to incorrect latch or positioning, feeding on the end of the nipple, or lack of pressure on the breast). Each of the relevant causes should be identified and addressed appropriately before resorting to supplements.…”
