NUTRITION:ILLUSTRATED

Abstract

Guide for a Healthy Pregnancy, A Guide for You and Your Baby and Healthy Eating Guide for the One to Fives are three new booklets which have recently been updated by the National Dairy Council. Produced with advice from the British Dietetic Association, the Royal College of Midwives and the Health Visitors Association, the booklets contain simple, practical advice on all aspects of maternal and child nutrition. The dietary advice is based on a simple four‐food group approach, designed to encourage mothers to build their own and their children's eating patterns round suitable quantities of bread and cereals, fruit and vegetables, milk and milk products and meat, fish, eggs, beans and nuts. Subjects covered in the booklets include the choice of food during pregnancy, issues such as vitamin A and liver, breast feeding, bottle feeding, introducing solids, overweight and obesity in children, food additives and food intolerance. Copies of the booklets are available free from the National Dairy Council, 5–7 John Princes Street, London W1M 0AP.
