The publication of the Department of Health White Paper "The Healthof the Nation" (1992) and "Our Healthier Nation" (1998) gaveemphasis to the importance of nutritional health of the nation atall ages.

This book responds to the challenge and focuses on goodnutrition for and during pregnancy, in low birth-weight infants,and during infancy. It has a strong public health emphasis, dealingwith health prevention issues for the Nation's younger population.
The text is written as a scientific reference book for thoseseeking to apply science in the support of a successful pregnancyand in the prevention of nutritional problems during foetal andearly post-natal life. The importance of optimal nutrition duringthese periods of life is emphasised by the overwhelming evidencethat nutritional problems in early embryonic life may causecongenital malformations and during late foetal life and early postnatal life may set the molecular programme for later diseasedevelopment.
