The early years

Abstract

We can trace the importance of good nutrition to the very early days of life, months before the baby begins its own separate existence. Before birth, the baby depends on his mother to supply him with all the nutrients he needs for rapid growth and development. Unless the mother herself is very badly fed, the baby's nutritional needs will usually be satisfied, even if this is to the detriment 6f the mother's health.
