Eating well is the first way we love and connect with our baby. A healthy diet will improve your likelihood of having a healthy baby, reduce the risk of complications and even make it easier to recover after giving birth. It will even contribute to your baby’s future brain development and emotional wellbeing.

With your growing baby on the way, you may feel that you’ve got to find and understand a lot of new information, including what to eat while you are pregnant.

This book answers your questions and includes lots of ideas and tips to eat well and feel well. It’s packed with clear, down-to-earth advice to help you eat well for your baby and your own wellbeing too, laying the foundations for your baby to enjoy a secure and healthy start to life.

All proceeds from this publication will go to supporting more food education and cooking sessions in the Dorset community to support more families from vulnerable communities and other marginalised groups.
