Matern Child Nutr

Maternal and Child Nutrition refers to the essential nutrients that a mother provides during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as the nutrition of the child from birth through early childhood. Proper nutrition during these stages is vital for healthy growth, brain development, and immune function, reducing the risk of illness and long-term health issues. It involves ensuring adequate intake of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients for both mother and child. Good nutrition practices support healthy birth outcomes, promote optimal development, and lay the foundation for a healthy life.
