Description:Presented on Tuesday, June 18, 2019.
The June session of Grand Rounds, “Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Nutrition — The Thousand Day Window of Opportunity,” was viewed in 31 states and 25 foreign countries.
One thousand days refers to the period from pregnancy through a child’s second birthday, when optimal nutrition is critical for brain development, healthy growth, and setting children on a trajectory for lifelong health. Unfortunately, only a third of women gain the appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy and about 16% of pregnant women have iron deficiency. Almost 1 in 5 babies are never breastfed. Among 1 year olds, fewer than half have eaten a vegetable, and 1 in 3 consume a sugary drink on a given day.
This session of Public Health Grand Rounds will explore how a woman’s nutrition during this time can impact both her own health and the child’s health, identify strategies that support women to breastfeed, and provide recommendations regarding an infant’s transition to the family diet. Together these factors have a profound impact on a child’s ability to grow, learn, and thrive.
