Unfortunately, many programmes have targeted implementation and monitoring of nutrition interventions to infants and young children, rather than to women during pregnancy or post\u2010partum. A literature review was conducted to identify barriers to food choice and consumption during pregnancy and lactation and to examine how low\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries have addressed maternal nutrition in programmes. A literature review of peer\u2010reviewed and grey literature was conducted, and titles and abstracts reviewed by authors. Twenty\u2010three studies were included in this review. Barriers to adequate nutrition during pregnancy included cultural beliefs related to knowledge of quantity of food to eat during pregnancy, amount of weight to gain during pregnancy, and \u201ceating down\u201d during pregnancy for fear of delivering a large baby. Foods considered inappropriate for consumption during pregnancy or lactation contributed to food restriction. Drivers of food choice were influenced by food aversions, economic constraints, and household food availability. Counselling on maternal diet and weight gain during pregnancy was seldom carried out. Programming to support healthy maternal diet and gestational weight gain during pregnancy is scant. Tailored, culturally resonant nutrition education and counselling on diet during pregnancy and lactation and weight gain during pregnancy, as well as monitoring of progress in maternal nutrition, are areas of needed attention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.12508","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,24]],"date-time":"2017-08-24T04:26:42Z","timestamp":1503548802000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":123,"title":["Addressing barriers to maternal nutrition in low\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries: A review of the evidence and programme implications"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0439-6308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justine A.","family":"Kavle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP)  Washington District of Columbia USA"},{"name":"PATH, Maternal, Newborn, Child Health, and Nutrition  Washington District of Columbia USA"},{"name":"The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health  Washington District of Columbia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Landry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health  Washington District of Columbia USA"},{"name":"Independent Consultant  USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2003.11.044"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjhf\/hfq069"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)61690-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)60937-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"437","volume-title":"Breastfeeding and human lactation","author":"Bronner Y.
