Abstract: Guidelines for the development of a daily food pattern that provides all the nutrients needed by pregnant and breastfeeding women are provided in this illustrated booklet from the Dairy Council of California. Objectives include 1) identifying present eating habits, 2) choosing foods that need to be added to the eating plan, and 3) determining how to manage foods that are low in nutrients. A food group chart shows the major food groups, nutrients they provide, foods inclluded in each, and the recommended number of daily servings of each for pregnant and nursing teens and adult women. Space is provided for a personalized food plan based on booklet recommendations. Step-by-step examples are included for recording daily food intake, making changes in food choices to improve nutritional content of the diet, and deciding on appropriate quantities of "extras" (i.e. fat, sugar, salt, alcohol) in the diet. Considerations are offered for implementing the new daily food pattern. Nutrition tips are given for a healthy pregnancy, to help alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts (nausea, constipation) for breastfeeding, and for non-breastfeeding women following delivery. Common serving sizes are provided for selected foods in the major food groups. (aje).
