During pregnancy, the body draws calcium from mom’s bones to support the growing baby, and during breastfeeding, the body continues to pull calcium into the breastmilk to continue to support the growth and development of the baby. Our calcium rich meals support the prevention of long-term bone loss and osteoporosis down the road.
