MyPyramid for Moms                                                                         

A press release issued Oct. 25, 2007 announced the launch of a new food pyramid designed specifically for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.  The new interactive site provides personalized nutrition guidance after a woman enters her age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, physical activity level and due date.  A breastfeeding woman enters similar information and the baby’s birth date.  The interactive site can be found at MyPyramid.gov.   

“The Department of Agriculture is please to announce this valuable on-line tool to assist pregnant and nursing mothers with easy access to important nutrition information,” said the Acting Secretary of Agriculture, Chuck Conner.  “During this time of life, proper nutrition for mom and baby are critical.  This tool will also be helpful to obstetricians and other health care providers.”
