Nourishment from Womb to World
How do you provide your baby with great health from within? We have some tips for you to nurture your baby with the best!
S: Start eating healthy even before you conceive. This paves way for you to provide essential nutrients for your baby during pregnancy.
A balanced diet consists of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans), protein and dairy.
I: Increase fibre and fluids. Fibre assists in regular bowel movement. You also need FOS to nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut for a healthy digestive system. Fibre and FOS are found in grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Avoid or limit caffeine intake if possible for better bowel movement.
M: Meet folic acid, which is found in leafy green vegetables like spinach, melons, oranges and fortified foods. Folic acid, taken before and during early pregnancy helps in fetus’ mental and overall development. Supplements are recommended to meet the increased need for folic acid.

I: Iron, an important component of red blood cells that carry oxygen to the entire body to help produce energy.
Iron helps to build baby’s liver stores that will last for the first 6 months of life.
Get iron from meat, fish, poultry, legumes and green leafy vegetables.
L: Low fat is the way. As energy needs increase moderately, nutrient needs increase dramatically.
Therefore lower fat foods help you gain moderate weight, so you do not have to deal with excessive weight gain after delivery.
A: Add choline to support growth of baby’s brain. How much choline mummy consumes influences baby’s choline status.
This nutrient is found in meat, egg yolk and broccoli.
C: Concentrate on calcium as it builds and strengthens baby’s skeleton and teeth. Consume milk, yoghurt and cheese.
You can also take fish with edible bones, green leafy vegetables, legumes and calcium fortified foods.
M: More B complex vitamins, which support metabolism and promote cell growth and division.
These vitamins are found in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, milk and legumes.
O: Observe your zinc intake. This nutrient helps in physical development and is essential for growth.
Rich sources of zinc are beef, seafood, poultry, oysters, nuts and seeds, whole grains, tofu and legumes.
M: Meet all your nutrient needs. It can be a challenge when you experience morning sickness, food cravings and are avoiding certain foods.
A well–formulated maternal nutritional supplement will help fulfill your nutritional gaps. Select a low fat, nutrient-rich supplement that meets your baby’s nutritional needs.
