  [1,000 DAYS NUTRITION SERIES: INTRODUCTION BRIEF]
  
  The first 1,000 days, the period from pregnancy through a child’s second birthday, represent a critical window for establishing healthy dietary patterns that promote healthy growth and development. During this time, a child’s brain develops more rapidly than any other time in life. Optimal nutrition, stimulation, and nurturing care during the first two years of life significantly influence positive brain development and health outcomes, promote lifelong health and risk reduction of other chronic diseases later in life.
  
  The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), through the Reducing Breastfeeding Disparities through Continuity of Care project, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity, aims to improve local approaches to breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support through the advancement of continuity of care for optimal infant and toddler nutrition security through the first 1,000 days of life.
  
  The development of this resource is part of NACCHO’s Reducing Disparities in Breastfeeding Through Continuity of Care project, which is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) through award number: 5 NU38OT000306-03-00.
