Abstract

Lactating women are considered as nutritionally vulnerable section of the population. The paramount importance of nutrition of a woman during lactation for her own health and that of her offspring is widely recognised. Satisfactory performance of lactation is influenced by the nutritional status of the mother and by the intake of adequate diet. The findings of various workers have indicated that most of the lactating women in India subsist on diets which are inadequate in the supply of calories.
