Breast milk does not contain high amounts of iron; therefore the needs of the breastfed infants are met with iron supplementation or iron-fortified foods at 6 months of age. Maternal need for iron returns to pregnancy amounts. The breastfeeding client needs to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of fluid. Breastfeeding women need adequate calcium for blood clotting and strong bones and teeth. Lack of adequate maternal intake can lead to neurological problems in the infant because of negative effects on myelin development
