High calcium milk for breastfeeding mothers
Based on the Nutritional Adequacy Rate (AKG), the calcium requirement for women aged 19-49 years is 1,000 mg per day. However, this figure is no longer the same when a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding.
During pregnancy, a woman’s daily calcium requirements will increase by 200 mg. So, the calcium requirement for pregnant women aged 19-49 years is 1,200 mg per day. This figure also applies during the first, second and third trimesters.
When breastfeeding, breast-feeding mothers’ daily calcium requirements also increase compared to those who don’t breastfeed, Mother. Every day, approximately 1,200 -1,300 mg of breastfeeding calcium needs need to be met.
This is as explained by Dr. Aisya Fiktritama Sp.A, a pediatrician and also a Lactation Counselor, that every day breastfeeding mothers need at least 1,300 mg of calcium to maintain the health of the mother’s bones and support the baby’s growth and development.
“By getting sufficient calcium intake every day, the risk of bone mass loss and tooth decay in mothers can decrease,” said Dr. Aisya to HaiBunda via short message, recently.
Calcium is a type of macro mineral that cannot be produced by the body, so one way to meet its needs is to consume foods high in calcium.
One of them is soy milk, cow’s milk and processed products such as yogurt and cheese, seafood such as anchovies, salmon and sardines. Then, there are also nuts such as almonds, peanuts and chia seeds as well as various green vegetables such as spinach, mustard greens, broccoli and kale.
