Family Doctor | Maternal Nutrition | The First 1000 Days: Your Baby's First Medicine

The first 1,000 days of life from pregnancy to a child's second birthday can shape a lifetime. As the world marks World Breastfeeding Week, Family Doctor explores one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of maternal and child health: maternal nutrition. Why does what a mother eats during pregnancy matter so much? What causes maternal anaemia? Are common pregnancy food myths helping or harming mothers? And how can breastfeeding give every child the healthiest possible start in life? Through expert medical insight from Dr. Jane Mate, Consultant Pediatrician at MP Shah Hospital, alongside the honest experiences of Jane Gathoni a first-time mother navigating pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, this episode unpacks the science, challenges and practical realities facing families across Kenya.
