Abstract		Background: The dietary intake during lactation may affect the health of the mother and the infant. This pilot research was conducted lo examine the adequacy of the diet of lactating women in Slovenia. Healthy lactating Slovenian women (n=40) at 1-3.5 month post partum participated in the study. Methods: Dietary intakes were assessed by prospective 7-day weighted dietary protocols and evaluated wilh the software Prodi 4.5 expert plus (Stuttgart, Germany). The results of analysis were compared with the central European reference values for nutrient intakes D-ACH,2004. Results: The reported diet of lactating Slovenian women in our study is foe energy intake below recommended values. The proportion between macronutrients is adequate, whereas the intake of dietary fibre several minerals (Fe, I and F) and vitamins (A, D and folic acid) are below recommended values. The ratio between saturated: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats was 2.6: 2.2: 1; a high intake of saturated fats and low intake of polyunsaturated fats. Conclusions: Slovenian breast-feeding women consume a diet proper in proportions of macronutrients, but sufficient in vitamins A, D and folic acid as well as minerals, iron, iodine and fluorine, which in some nutrients deviates markedly from advisable intakes. Efforts should be made to provide mothers with the necessary information for achieving the recommended nutrient intake.
