We all know the expression "eating for two." Although it's often used as an excuse, it is really a reminder that you should plan for a well-balanced, nutritious diet during pregnancy.
Usually, our diet usually only improves once we realise we are pregnant and we decide it is time to start taking care of yourself and your baby.
But now it seems we should be improving our diet way before we even start trying to become pregnant.
According to new research paper, nutrition and a woman's diet just before and at the time of conception may have a permanent effect on the DNA of her child.
The study, conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the United Kingdom and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas USA, found that the regulation of certain genes can be influenced greatly by what a mother consumes around the time of conception.
Even with my limited medical knowledge improving your diet before conception makes a lot of good sense.
It would seem that research now backs up my concerns regarding parental nutrition at all of phases of a child's development--even before conception.

This is a great portable machine - I bought it for a young mum I’m working with as her lactation consultant . The only thing I’m disappointed with is there is no bag for storage and no teat for the medulla bottle ( I understand why but I wanted it fir teaching purpose in case she needed to give EBM) in the package .
Absolutely love this product and even purchased fir my girlfriend! I used Qiara breastfeeding sachets whilst struggling with blocked ducts and mastitis. I was recommended the product by a friend who is a midwife and specialises in lactation
It helps so much
I find it increases milk supply but thins the milk out making it easier to pass through clogged ducts. When my milk came in with my second baby qiara single handedly got me through it
Amazing product helped my baby with her digestion issues
I got this 4 days ago and decided to pump once per day. I already have 4 pouches full of milk ready to go for my little one for when I return to work. This machine works absolutely perfectly, highly recommend to anyone considering purchasing!
