Combo | 2nd Day- Maternal and Child Nutrition: Where to Start?

Do you feel prepared to provide maternal and infant care?

Nutritional monitoring from pregnancy onwards is essential to ensure the healthy development of both the baby and the mother, preventing complications such as gestational diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Nutritional management also helps to minimize common pregnancy discomforts such as nausea, heartburn, and constipation.
