Lactation or breastfeeding increases a mother's nutrient needs due to the demands of breast milk production and blood loss during childbirth.

Vitamin C is important during lactation because it is a natural and essential antioxidant component of breast milk.

Did you know that the amount of vitamin C in breast milk is directly influenced by the mother’s diet?

The Philippine Dietary Reference Intakes 2015 of DOST-FNRI recommends that lactating mothers consume 95 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C daily, while pregnant women need 70 mg.

While citrus fruits are often the “go-to” source of vitamin C, did you know that guava packs more vitamin C?

A single red guava contains 𝟵𝟱 𝗺𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗖, such that one piece can fully meet a lactating mother’s daily vitamin C needs.

Snacking on guava is not only a simple and delicious choice, but it also provides a natural boost of vitamin C for lactating moms.

Stay tuned for more tips and updates to Eat Right, EATS FNRI!

August 1-7 is World Breastfeeding Week. For lactating Filipinas, here’s a guide for the daily recommended dietary intake for Go, Grow, and Glow foods.

For every plate of meal, half should be composed of GLOW foods, with more vegetables than fruits. GO and GROW foods should fill up the other half, with GO foods (rice, corn, bread, oatmeal) taking a bigger portion than GROW foods (meats, eggs, poultry, fish, beans, and legumes).

In short, lactating women should eat more veggies!
