Abstract

Background

Maternal diet is an important clinical adjunct to care for optimal infant outcome. Clinicians should have a heightened awareness to the importance of the first 1000 days from conception to 2 years for key critical nutrients. The Registered Dietitian can be a key partner to ensure mothers are assessed nutritionally for food insecurity and dietary adequacy in pregnancy and lactation.

Methods

A clinical review of the PubMed literature was done to establish recent guidelines for pregnancy and lactation- highlighting key dietary patterns, calories and nutrients that have been associated with pregnancy, human milk composition, and impacting fetal, neonatal, and lifelong health outcomes.

Results

Critical nutrients such as calories, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), choline, folate, Vitamin B1,B2, B12, D, minerals, trace elements, and fiber were found to play key roles in optimizing pregnancy and lactation and resultant infant growth, development, and the microbiome.

Conclusion

The perinatal provider should incorporate key maternal nutrient recommendations into dietary guidelines to ensure a healthy trajectory for the mother-infant dyad.

将产妇营养纳入新生儿实践以影响婴儿结局的实用策略。

背景：产妇饮食是一个重要的临床辅助护理，以获得最佳的婴儿结局。临床医生应该提高对从受孕到2年的前1000天对关键营养素的重要性的认识。注册营养师可以是一个重要的合作伙伴，以确保评估母亲在怀孕和哺乳期间的粮食不安全和饮食充足的营养。方法：对PubMed文献进行临床回顾，以建立妊娠和哺乳的最新指南，强调与妊娠、母乳成分以及影响胎儿、新生儿和终身健康结果相关的关键饮食模式、卡路里和营养素。结果：关键营养素，如卡路里、二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）、胆碱、叶酸、维生素B1、B2、B12、D、矿物质、微量元素和纤维，在优化妊娠和哺乳以及由此产生的婴儿生长、发育和微生物群方面发挥了关键作用。结论：围产期提供者应将关键的孕产妇营养建议纳入膳食指南，以确保母婴健康发展。
