Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Lifestyle intervention

Women who are still breastfeeding at the first postpartum visit will be encouraged to pursue. References to local breastfeeding supporting groups will be done, if needed. The intervention will be conducted in order to reach recommendations for food servings and nutrient needs. Particular attention will be paid to increase fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains intake, and decrease added sugars and high fat meat/dairy products. Women will be strongly encouraged to be active at least 150 min/week. They will be provided with targeted strategies for exercising, types of exercises and tips for including physical activity into the daily routine as well as fun exercises for the whole family.

BEHAVIORAL

Active control lifestyle intervention

Participants in the control group will receive standard lifestyle recommendations in the form of written information at each visit.
