Abstract

A woman's nutritional state is especially crucial because the harmful impacts of malnutrition are passed down through her children and grandchildren. Lactating moms have unique dietary requirements due to the increased caloric and nutrient intake necessary for breastfeeding. Lactating women should be wisely given nutritional supplements since they have the potential to boost the infant's nutrition intake by increasing the efficiency of lactation. Lactation is the process by which a mother produces and secretes milk from her breasts for her newborn to consume.  10 randomly selected villages from Vidarbha will participate in this study. For the area-wise analysis of the samples, we will select 135 lactating moms from rural areas and 115 from urban areas, since they all reside in both types of locations. The socioeconomic status, place of area, and level of education of the women will be used to stratify the selection of 250 lactating moms. The age of the mothers will range from fifteen days to four months. In order to assess their nutritional status and overall health, all 250 women who choose to participate in the study are asked to keep a 24-hour memory journal.
