They need more magnesium because their bodies are losing what they put in. Breastfeeding women give most of their nutrients to their infant. They need to replace that loss magnesium by eating more foods rich in magnesium. The same thing applies to pregnant women. Their unborn child is getting the nutrients that the mother eats. Her gynecologist needs to inform her how much magnesium she needs to consume so that the baby and she get the same amount.

If it’s safe for mother and baby, the doctor may allow the woman to take vitamins that are rich in magnesium. It is best to eat foods rich in magnesium because they absorb quicker in the body.
