Summary:

Recap:

This week you should have learned about what nutrients a pregnant woman needs to have healthy pregnancy and baby.  We also discussed infant feeding and how to feed a baby from birth to one year.  You should understand what nutrition is provided from breastfeeding and formula and what specific nutrients a baby needs in the first year.  

 

Looking Ahead: 

Next week we will continue the lifespan with learning about feeding young children and then we will jump to learning about nutritional needs of the elderly.  

We will be having some extra credit this week to learn about childhood obesity.
