Maternal-Fetal Nutrition During Pregnancy and Lactation, 1st Edition (2010) (PDF) by Michael E. Symonds

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.

With the aim to improve clinicians’ understanding of the important effects nutrition can have on maternal health and fetal and neonatal development, Maternal-Fetal Nutrition During Pregnancy and Lactation defines the nutritional requirements with regard to the stage of development and growth, placing scientific developments into clinical context.

User’s Reviews

… this is a book that is of much use for all those involved with breasteeding advice, such as doctors, midwives and breastfeeding counsellors.’ Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica

We were required to get this book for a class, and ended up changing texts before we really got a chance to look through it. Everything was very well laid out, though, and if I could have afforded it as a student at the time, I would have kept this book for my library.
