Health workers often lack adequate information to counsel pregnant and lactating women on how to meet increased nutrient requirements through dietary and behavioral changes and other health practices. They are uncertain how to translate general requirements into individual recommendations. This document attempts to fill this information gap and to help programs develop appropriate protocols and counseling materials on maternal nutrition.
