Maternal-Fetal Nutrition During Pregnancy and Lactation Hardback
Edited by Michael E. (University of Nottingham) Symonds, Margaret M. (University of Nottingham) Ramsay
Hardback
Description
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.
