Improving clinicians' understanding of effects nutrition can have
on maternal health and fetal and neonatal development can have
considerable impact on achieving a healthy pregnancy and reducing
childhood morbidity. This book defines the nutritional requirements
with regard to each stage of fetal development and growth, placing
scientific developments into a clinical context. Clinicians and
scientists discuss: how the fetus grows and what macro- and
micronutrients it requires; what happens when there is nutrient
deficiency and when placental development is abnormal; aspects of
infant feeding, both with breast milk and formula milk. Specific
problems encountered in pregnancy that pose a nutritional challenge
are also considered, including pregnancy in teenagers, multiple
pregnancies and pregnancy in those who are vegetarians or vegans.
All doctors, health-care workers or scientists who either care for
women, their newborn and growing infants, or who are involved in
research in these areas, will find this to be essential reading.
