Question Answer
milk energy outputs increase during _______ first 6 months of full lactation
After 6 months of lactation, milk volumes depend on weening
Energy requirements for milk is based on what is required to produce the milk and what is required to support the energy density of the milk itself
energy cost of lactation can be met by a reduction in physical activity, an increase in efficiency performing routine tasks, or an increase in energy intake
True or False: Mobilization of tissue stores in partially contribute to energy requirements in addition to diet, which is the primary source. True
Breastfeeding has a protective role over gestational diabetes because prolactin helps mobilize some of the glucose into the mother's milk as opposed to the adipose tissues - there is also a mobilization of fat into the mother's milk as well
Fat content of milk is affected by _____ but not by _____ - fat stores coming into the lactation period - diet during the lactation period
a mild, gradual weight loss of _____ kg/mo is seen during the first 6 months postpartum of a well-nourished lactating women 0.8 kg/mo
Energy reserves built up during pregnancy are used to.. meet some of the energy needs required for lactation
first 6 months postpartum, adipose tissue is reduced in _____ region, however it is increased in _____ region -subcutaneous - nonsubcutaneous
Mean milk production rates during the first 6 months in term infants is 0.78L/day
Mean milk production during 7-12 months in term infants is 0.6L/day
The amount of energy that needed to be replaced is calculated using the value 0.67 kcal/g milk
Milk production decreases after 6 months because there is an introduction of solid foods
Milk energy output during the first 6 months of lactation is 500 kcal/day
The milk energy output during the second 6 months of lactation is 400 kcal/day
weight stability is assumed after 6 months postpartum
the EER of lactating women is based on - EER of normal weigh adult using current age, weight, and PAL - milk energy output - energy mobilization from tissue stores
