Nutrition in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Meal planning for the changing needs of pregnancy and breastfeeding, with dietary advice for nausea and constipation.

What is it?

Needs for energy and certain nutrients change during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Counselling aims to build a balanced meal pattern and offer dietary advice for common complaints.

The plan is aligned with your obstetrician's follow-up and advice. Decisions on supplements belong to your physician; counselling focuses on food-based options.

Every pregnancy and breastfeeding period is unique, and advice varies accordingly. The plan is created together after your complaints and follow-up information are reviewed.

Who is it assessed for?

  • Women planning a pregnancy
  • Pregnant women who want to adjust their diet
  • Pregnant women with nausea, constipation or heartburn
  • Breastfeeding mothers struggling to keep a meal routine
