BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED STUDY: INTRODUCTION Nutrition is a key factor in national development. The term maternal nutrition focuses on woman as mothers on their nutritional status as it relates to the bearing and nurturing of children1. Lactating women should not stick to any diet eat the food any specific products. The women should have a balanced and varied menu to stay health2 The diet recommended for lactating mother is essentially the same as for pregnant women and should include plentiful supplies of milk and alternate calcium and protein sources .the nursing mother needs a lot of fluids to provide for the water content of breastmilk.3 A mother’s body has undergone many physiological changes during pregnancy ,as well as with the birth of her baby. She needs to and recover from pregnancy and child birth. In addition to rest all mothers to need to maintain a healthy diet to promote healing and recovery. 4 Diet plays an very important role because diet for lactating mother should help to produce enough milk, should provide her with enough nutrients and also take care of the mothers daily dietary requirement. It should be rich in protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron and vitamin c.5 Eating well during pregnancy and lactation extra requires few adjustments to general good health dietary guidelines. A woman’s needs extra calories, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water. Each woman will require different amount of foods providing key nutrients to achieve the desired pregnancy weight gain. Age, weight, activity level and metabolism All influence her that how much she need to eat for optimum weight gain health and fetal development and also breast milk production6 If you eat too little which affects lactating mother breast milk production. When breast feeding a single baby 300to 500 calories per day should be added to the diet when feeding for twins an extra 600to1000calories per day should be added to the diet. Total calories intake while lactating is 2300to2500calories while single baby and2600to 3000 calories for twins.6 2 Mother who is breastfeeding her child has to eat for two. It is essential that she take balanced nutrious diet. In this period apart from calories and proteins there is increased need to calcium and iron. . Optimum Nutrition is of great importance for women, due to the special nutritional needs associated with psychological changes such as pregnancy, childbirth, lactation .7 Included in all food groups in daily diet; are These groups are cereals, pulses, ghee oil ,sugar, jaggery, vegetables, fruits, milk and its products. She has to consume more nutrients containing as rich in iron like green leafy vegetables, black sesame seeds ,jaggery ,poha she has to, consume more calcium foods containing milk and its products white sesame seeds ,ragi guava, bajara, daily consumption of one litre of milk in any form eg; curd yoghurt paneer, khe., foods that are rich in protein; milk, dhal, paneer, egg white, foods rich in vitamin c; guava, lemon, orange, amla, capsicum. In addition to the above it is compulsory for lactating mothers to have at least 1 and half litre of water every day. 8 The defiency of these foods causes some diseases such as the maternal health and fetal health., It includes iron deficiency anaemia , vitamin deficiency diseases. And also calisium defiency diseases, malnutrition. And some allergic diseases affect to the lactating mother. These diets should be included in the daily diet for the lactating mothers to prevent the defiency diseases. Lactation makes considerable nutritional demands on the mother . the success of lactation as well as the health status of the infants depends on the type of diet consumed by women during pregnancy and lactation period . the maternal diet is significantly important during lactation . the quality and quantity of milk secretion depends upon maternal diet.1 6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY All the nursing mothers/lactating mothers take only rice supplemented with little pulses and vegetables; milk is used in tea or in coffee. In india it is the custom to breast feed infants for prolonged period .mothers future health as well as the baby’s health depend on the large event on the type of diet to protects the women’s own nutritional health.1 3 Lactation period refers to the duration when the mother breastfeeds her child. A Nutritious dietary intake is therefore particularly important and has to be different from a mother who has to feed her child orally. The food intake should be such that it meets her nutritional requirements besides ensuring adequate milk production for the baby. Inadequate food intake reduces the milk secreted and may even change the composition. 9 Nutritional requirement for lactating mothers include extra energy, protein, calcium, iron, vitamins and water. Energy nearly extra 550kcal for first six months and 400kcal for during the next six months are required for a lactating mother. Protein there is an increased requirement during this period due to milk production. Calcium is one of the important minerals required both during pregnancy and lactation. Iron requirement during this period is the same as adult women about 30mg per day fetus stores enough iron to survive for the initial 6 months after birth. During lactation the vitamin requirement is also increased. She needs to drink 10to12 glasses of water every day. Along with all the nutrients since there is a increase requirement of water during lactation.10 Global studies have unequally demonstrated association between under nutrition and increased risk of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. Results of small scale clinical trials of food supplementation to undernourished group suggest that reduction in mortality and morbidity rates to improve growth in infancy could be achieved by food supplementation.11 Certain substances in the mother`s diet could enter the milk and reach the child`s stomach. Keeping this factor in mind, a lactating mother has to plan her diet very well. Three glasses of milk daily is essential for the health of both the feeding mother and the suckling baby. Lactating mothers should well be aware of the fact that any food that causes indigestion and does not suit the mother`s system will affect the infant and cause diarrhea, stomach ache, cold another ailments.Adequate consumption of pulses, vegetables and milk must be ensured for proper lactation. In general sour foods and cold drinks could be avoided.12 According to the National Institute of Health, lactating mothers need 1,500 ug/day of calcium. It is necessary to pay attention to this fact in the diet. The lactating 4 mother can consume medicine only on medical advice as these could reach the child and cause irreparable damage.12 The India diets Tailored Diet Plan hereafter referred to as TDP has been customized for Lactating Mothers. The Plan has been prepared after duly analyzing the nutritional requirements of a Lactating Mother. It advises you how to keep in check your eating habits, working on the philosophy that the right food can work wonders not only for you but for your child as well.13 1992: WHO consultation reported that, “Where infectious diseases and malnutrition are the main cause of infant deaths and the infant mortality rate is high, breastfeeding should be the usual advice given to pregnant women including those who are HIV infected.”. A few months later, a meta-analysis of studies conducted around the world over the previous four years was published, which estimated a breastfeeding transmission rate of 14% from mothers infected before delivery and 29% from mothers infected after delivery.14 Nutritional problems are one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality among infants. During infancy infant get nutrients through breastfeeding. if The primi mothers have less knowledge regarding nutrition .They may suffer from so many diseases while giving education to them they can modify their diet and reduce the no of nutritional defiency disorders. So the mothers should take adequate balanced diet to prevent diseases. 6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE. Review of literature is a key step for research process. It refers to an extensive exhaustive and systematic examination of the publications relevant to the research project. 1 .Studies related to importance of diet during lactating mother The study was conducted to vegetarian diets of breast feeding women in the light of dietary recommendations. The literature review concerning selected nutritional and health aspects of applying different vegetarian diets by breastfeeding women was presented. The only two types of vegetarian diets: lactoovo- and semivegetarian, when properly composed, seem to be relatively safe for mother and her 5 child. The most threatening vegetarian diets for lactating women are those including exclusively products of plant origin. The results of studies performed on mothers consuming these vegetarian diets showed deficiencies in: vitamin B12 and vitamin D in mothers and their infants and calcium only in lactating women. It considered that lactating women on vegetarian diet should have a greater nutritional knowledge in order to avoid deficiencies which would adversely affect mother's and her child's health15. Study was conducted to maternal vitamin A status and its importance in infancy and early childhood. Adequate maternal vitamin A status is important for newborn reserves and for sustaining adequate breast-milk concentrations. Vitamin A supplements are not needed for most pregnant women in Western countries who consume the recommended dietary allowance during their reproductive years. Increased consumption of vitamin A-rich foods can meet increased needs during lactation. Women in developing countries whose habitual intakes are near basal needs should receive additional 100 micrograms retinol equivalents during pregnancy and 300 micrograms during lactation. Supplements not above 3000 micrograms daily are safe for fertile women where circumstances preclude obtaining the needed increment through diet. The first postpartum month is the only safe period during which to provide deficient lactating women with a single high-dose supplement to benefit the mother and breast-feeding infant for several months16 The postpartum period is associated with increased risk for weight gain and weight retention, and is associated with overweight development in women (Rooney and Schauberger 2002). In a sample of 540 healthy primarily white women, Olson et al. (2003) found that although the average weight retained at 1 year postpartum was 1.51 ± 5.95 kg, retained weight exceeded 4.55 kg. (10 lbs.) in 25.6% of women. Also, Rooney and Schauberger (2002) reported that although the mean weight retained at 1year postpartum centered at 1 to 2 kgs (2-5 lbs.), some women gain over 5 kg (10 lbs). Ethnic minorities (Williamson et al. 1994) and persons with low incomes are at greater risk of excessive postpartum weight retention17 A study was conducted on Food and nutrient adequacy among selected tribal lactating mothers in Ranchi district of Jharkhand. The socio-economic conditions, diet and nutrient adequancy of 72 lactating tribal mothers residing in four villages of 6 Ranchi district were assessed. The study revealed that majority of households belonged to nuclear families with medium family size and farming as their primary occupation. Except cereal, the diet of tribal mothers were inadequate and far below the recommended amount. Results of diet survey further showed that the per cent adequacy of only roots and tuber and other vegetables was 94 and 82 per cent, respectively. For rest of the food stuffs the percent adequacy was found to be between 13 to 37 per cent. Calories and protein intake was found to be 82 and 69 per cent, respectively.18 A study was conducted Nutritional composition of traditional supplementary foods consumed by lactating women in India's Udaipur region. To learn more about the nutritional content of supplementary foods consumed by mothers during the 1st 3 months of lactation. A food consumption survey revealed that 6 different supplementary food items--ajwain ka laddu, gond ka laddu, battia ka laddu, haldi laddu, lidh ka laddu, and soth ka laddu. A nutritional analysis of these supplementary foods indicated that a 250-gram serving is sufficient for meeting a third of the protein and carbohydrate requirements of a lactating woman. All foods analyzed were rich sources of iron, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Of all the forms of laddu, ajwain contained the maximum amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, and moisture while battia provided the most iron. The study was concluded that the diet of lactating women is given greater attention in the immediate postpartum period than in is in later stages of lactation.19 The study was conducted calcium intake nutritional status in lactating women. The aim of this study was to analyze the diets of 39 healthy, lactating women (average age = 34.3 years; average BMI = 26.2 kg/ m2) by a 24-hour dietary recall. This investigation was focused on calcium and vitamin D intake. Nutrients were estimated using the software Dial. These are divided into calcium restrictors, calcium intake < 1200 mg/day, and non-restrictors (> 1200 mg/day). The results showed that 64% of the study population (restrictors) reported a mean energy intake (2042.7 +/- 458.3 kcal), calcium intake (812.4 +/- 211.2 mg/day) and vitamin D intake (1.71 +/- 1.59 microg/day) below the adequate intake level (AI) and lower than non-restrictors estimated intakes (p < 0.01). The conclusion of this study is that a high percentage of the lactating women consume a diet below nutritional recommendations during this 7 stage. It is recommended that health professionals should inform these mothers about the correct dietary habits during this period.20 2 Studies related to defiency diseases for lactating women Cross sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency among lactating women in a poor urban population of Bangladesh. According to this study there are total of 120 lactating women aged 17–37 years were randomly selected from women who attended a local maternal and child health clinic in Dhaka City. Various socio-economic, personal characteristics, dietary intakes of vitamin A and anthropometric data were collected. Serum retinol (vitamin A) concentration was determined as a measure of vitamin A status. Results showing that, 37% had low serum vitamin A levels with 13.3% having sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency. 87% had vitamin A intakes below the recommended dietary allowance. The lactating women who were received only informal education had lower serum vitamin A levels compared with those who received formal education. The serum vitamin A levels of women in lower than those households with good sanitation/latrine practice. The women with one child had lower serum vitamin A levels than those with two or more children. Women with a lactation period of 6 months or lower serum vitamin A levels than women with a lactation period of less than 6 months. The women who consumed less than the median vitamin A intake (274.8 μg day−1) had lower serum vitamin A levels than those who consumed more than the median vitamin A intake. By the analysis, education level of the women, number of living children, duration of lactation and dietary intake of vitamin A were found to have significant independent relationships with serum vitamin A. and also appear to be important in influencing the vitaminA status of these women. The study was concluded that a significant proportion of poor, urban, lactating women in Bangladesh have vitamin A deficiency21. The study was conducted to nutritional status, dietary intake, and the anthropometric measurements height and weight of pregnant women and lactating mothers to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding milk use and consumption of various products were assessed. Results showed that the subjects surveyed presented poor consumption pictures of not only milk, but also of all other 8 foods (except cereals), which in turn reflect low nutrient intakes and poor nutritional status. Women in all were found to be suffering from nutritional deficiencies in vitamin A, B complex and iron. The prevalence of vitamin B complex deficiency and anaemia was found to be slightly higher in pregnant women than lactating mothers, On the other hand, vitamin A deficiency, characterized by conjunctival xerosis. The study concluded that all the women had positive views about milk consumption. So that milk is a complete food for all, and that it is vital for growing children, old and sick people.22 A study was conducted at a large private urban hospital in the north central United States, it is estimated that 33% of American women are high incidence of anemia in pregnancy. so anemia is a common complication for lactating mother. Exploring the relationship between anemia and insufficient milk supply with 630 first time mothers. Anemic mothers reported a higher level of symptomatology associated with low milk supply and were more frequently classified as having insufficient milk syndrome. Anaemic mothers reported that “not enough milk” was the main reason for weaning. The study result suggests that anemia, an important indicator of maternal health, is associated with the development of insufficient milk. Insufficient In this study breastfeeding durations were shorter for anaemic than for non anemic mothers.23 The study was conducted in a cross sectional survey in rural west java Indonesia 155 lactating mothers and their healthy infants were assessed. Deficiencies of vitamin A, iron, and zinc are affecting vulnerable groups such as lactating women and infants. . The aim was to investigate the deficiencies of vitamin A, iron, and zinc coexist and the nutritional relation between lactating mothers and their infants. In this study blood, urine, and breast-milk samples were obtained. Results show that Marginal vitamin A deficiency was found in 54% of the infants and 18% of the mothers. More than 50% of the mothers and infants were anemic and 17% of the infants and 25% of the mothers were zinc deficient. There was a strong interrelation between the micronutrient status of the mothers and infants. Vitamin A deficiency in infants led to an increased risk of anemia and zinc deficiency whereas in mothers the risk of anemia and iron deficiency increased. In infants, the study was concluded that Micronutrient deficiencies were prevalent in West Java. The micronutrient status of 9 lactating mothers and that of their infants were closely related; breast milk was a key connecting factor for vitamin A status.24 Nutritional study was conducted to assessed the and medical status of 26 lactating women and their 2to6 months of infants. Analysis of 24-h duplicate diet composites indicated that the mothers were consuming approximately 2100 kcal energy/d. The diets contained approximately 62 g protein (11.6% of the calories), 392 g carbohydrate (73.3% of the calories), and 20.9 g fat (8.6% of the calories) Although anthropometric measurements indicated that the mothers had mild protein malnutrition and inadequate energy reserves, their infants exhibited low-normal weight and length for age the result shows that. All the mothers had hepatitis A antibodies; 92% had tropical eosinophilia, indicating intestinal parasites; 16% had cheilosis and angular stomatitis, indicating a possible B-vitamin deficiency; and 8% had elevated urinary nitrite, indicating urinary tract infection. The study concluded that there are no unusual physical findings on the infants. Although, the mothers showed evidence of multiple infections and possible nutrient deficiencies.25 3. EDUCATIONAL STUDIES RELATED TO DIET FOR LACTATING MOTHER In this descriptive study, was conducted the diet status of 104 lactating mothers referring to khoramabad health and treatment centers. Food stuffs were analized by N3 software and for statistic analysis SPSS software used: Results showed that studied mothers were in good condition from view point of energy receiving, consumption of Protein, Carbohydrate, fat and fatty acids. But they had no good condition in consumption of mineral elements such as: Calcium, Iodine, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc and vitamins C, B9,B2 and D. More attention to the nutrition of lactating mothers specially mineral elements and vitamins, as well as increase in milk and dairy products intake, seafoods ,fruit and fresh vegetables or using food compliments is recommended for them too. Study was concluded that lactating mothers need to nutrients more than the pregnancy period, and if this additional requirement to nutrients foodstuff isn’t meet lactation causes malnutrition in lactating women.26 10 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM “A STUDY TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE ,ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE ON DIET DURING LACTATING PERIOD AMONG PRIMI LACTATING MOTHERS INA SELECTED HOSPITAL AT HASSAN KARNATAKA, WITH A VIEW TO DEVELOP AN INFORMATIONAL BOOKLET .” 6.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1.To assess the knowledge regarding diet during lactating period among primi lactating mother. 2.To assess the attitude regarding diet during lactating period among primi lactating mother. 3.To assess the knowledge on practise regarding diet during lactating period among primi lactating mother. 4.To correlate the knowledge, attitude,and knowledge on practice regarding diet during lactating period among primi lactating mother. 5.
