Nutrition

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are important moments in a woman’s life, since the personal needs of both the mother and the child come to give an emphasis to the nutritional assessment. The program aims to meet the nutritional needs of both the mother and the child, providing optimal nutritional support and the avoidance of possible risks such as gestational diabetes and eclampsia that may occur. The pregnant mother is further educated to understand what is nutritious and what she should be avoided during pregnancy and later on during the breastfeeding period.
