Baby Health

Optimum nutrition during pregnancy is imperative so much so that according to Dr Thomas Brewer (obstetrician) by obtaining a good nutritious diet you can prevent and in some cases even reverse a host of common complications of pregnancy, including toxemia, low birth weight, prematurity, and preterm labour. Healthy babies are the result of a healthy mum and as such it is not healthy for mum to go even 24 hours without a nutritious diet to ensure that she is able to meet both her own needs and the needs of her growing baby.

Common sense tells you to eat right when you're pregnant, and traditional wisdom says you're "eating for two". So why are doctors telling you to cut out salt, avoid gaining too much weight, and giving you little or no information about what IS a good diet for pregnancy? Why is the medical community so disinterested in this information? As one doctor put it, "No one is going to make any money off good nutrition."
