National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board, Committee on Nutritional Status During Pregnancy and Lactation, Subcommittee on Lactation. 1991. Nutrition during lactation . Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 309 pp., summ. (19 pp.).

Annotation: This report and summary reflect the deliberations of the Food and Nutrition Board Subcommittee on Nutrition During Lactation whose charge was to assess state-of-the-art scientific evidence and formulate recommendations on the nutritional needs of lactating women. The subcommittee was also asked to consider special recommendations for different maternal age and ethnic groups, taking particular note of the needs of lactating adolescents; women over age 35; and women of black, Hispanic, and Southeast Asian origins. The report is organized into the following chapters: breastfeeding in the United States; nutritional status and usual dietary intake of lactating women; milk volume; milk composition; infant outcomes; maternal health effects of breastfeeding; meeting maternal nutrient needs during lactation; and research recommendations. Where appropriate, each chapter has recommendations for clinical practice. The major conclusions of the report are: Women in the United States are capable of fully nourishing their infants by breastfeeding; breastfeeding is recommended for all infants in the United States under ordinary circumstances; and data are lacking for use in developing strategies to identify lactating women who are at risk of depleting their own nutrient stores.
