Nutrition

Your diet in the postnatal period is important to ensure that you recover from the nutritional demands of pregnancy, and have the stamina you will need for motherhood.  A healthy diet will also help you to recover your pre-pregnant weight and reduce the risk of accumulated weight gain with each pregnancy.  Also, you are an important role model for your family, and research shows that your meal patterns and what you eat will shape your child’s food habits and preferences as they grow up.
