Both parents now work full-time, and both children attend day care full-time. Kathy nursed Samantha exclusively before she returned to work and built up a supply of frozen breast milk.

Her prepregnancy weight was 142 pounds (64.5 kg) and her BMI. Señora Mendez’s weight-gain progress has been poor due to nausea and vomiting experienced in the first half of pregnancy. Otherwise, Sra. Mendez was experiencing a normal pregnancy for women expecting twins. Concerns about her weight-gain progress and the nutritional needs of women with twin gestation prompted her certified–nurse midwife to prescribe a prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement and to refer her to a registered dietitian/certified diabetes educator.

Mendez had gained 14 pounds since conception, and that her typical dietary intake excluded food sources of EPA and DHA.

- Ms. Mellon is a 43year old woman who has lived in a Residential Habilitation Center from age 11 to 40. For the last three years she has been in a Tenant Support Program. This past year staff noticed that she had begun to lose weight. This became a concern because she had always been rather slender. Staff had encouraged her to eat more and had routinely prepared the foods she liked the most. Still, she was losing weight and was about 15 pounds below her ideal weight. At a staff meeting to discuss Ms. Mellon's food consumption, it was discovered that she was generally eating breakfast but not lunch or dinner. While lunches and dinners were always made and served to her, she often dumped the food in the garbage when staff members were not present. She also was not drinking much water and staff wondered if this was part of the problem. Because Ms. Mellon did not talk, staff could not find out why she wasn't eating more than breakfast. Staff decided to use the "Determine Your Nutritional…arrow_forwardAlyssa Carter is a 7 year old female who was born at 32 weeks gestation and was diagnosed with a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) at one year of age.
