Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. 600Cal
Option D : 600 calories During the first six months of lactation, breastfeeding women require additional energy to support milk production and sustain their own nutritional needs. The recommended additional daily energy requirement during this period is approximately 600 calories above the woman's pre-pregnancy energy intake. This additional energy is necessary to ensure that breastfeeding mothers have an adequate nutrient intake to support the demands of lactation without depleting their own energy reserves.
