Poor nutrition during the mother’s pregnancy or the child’s first two years can slow a child’s mental and physical development for life. Children need a well-balanced diet that
includes protein and energy foods as well as vitamins and minerals, such as iron and
vitamin A, to ensure good health and development. From birth to age 1, children should be weighed every month and from age 1 to age 2, at least every three months. If a child
does not appear to be growing, the child should be seen by a trained health worker.
