Nutrition from fertility to pregnancy & baby’s introduction to food

Pregnancy is a very important phase in a woman’s life. An awaited moment and a process of great challenge, both chemically and nutritionally. It is a process in which the nutritional requirement is high, in order for the embryo to fully develop. However, it is also a phase very susceptible to the variations of the external environment, because the placenta, which is the mother-embryo connection link, is permeable to nutrients, hormones, water, oxygen, and also xenobiotics. Xenobiotics are chemical substances that can be deposited in developing tissues, modifying gene expression and causing chronic diseases in postnatal life. Immune resistance and positive vitality can be achieved with changes in the environmental pattern and some of the main pillars are nutrition and individuality, which must contemplate the moment from preconception to the introduction of the baby’s food.

Fertility

The process of fertility refers to the body’s ability to produce gametes that are functional and capable of generating new life. The complicating factors can be both male and female. And besides genetics, several factors are directly related to fertility, such as emotional issues, obesity, exposure to xenobiotics, physical activity, and nutritional deficiencies among others.

Pregnancy

The pregnancy period begins when the egg is fertilized by the sperm, forming a highly specialized cell called the zygote. This cell will develop into the fetus, and this development comprises a period of approximately 38 weeks. During this period there are specific nutritional requirements that must be met for the healthy development of the embryo and for the health of the woman.

Breastfeeding

It is scientifically proven that breastfeeding brings numerous benefits, both for the mother and the baby. Information about quality and production of milk, maternal nutrition, and the correct latch on are essential during this period. However, it can also be a period of great difficulty and complications that are still little addressed, leaving mothers unprepared and on the verge of emotional collapse. With proper guidance and care, trauma can be avoided.

Food introduction

The introduction of food to children represents a milestone in the child’s development. In this phase, the child is more prone to develop complications such as food allergies and intolerances, changes in bowel habits, anemia, and weight loss. Thus, the exposure to new foods must be timely, aiming at a good formation of eating habits and nutritional adequacy. The definition of the ideal moment to start the introduction of new foods should take into account the physiological and neuromuscular maturity of the child and the nutritional needs.

Success story

Conheci a Lorena quando estava grávida. Desde o primeiro contato ela foi muito atenciosa e sempre explicando o porquê das coisas com muito conhecimento e profissionalismo. Ela cuidou do meu ganho de peso com todo carinho que a fase exigia.
O cuidado que ela teve comigo antes, durante e pós consulta fez eu me sentir segura com ela. E essa segurança e confiança me faz ser paciente dela até hoje. Confiei a introdução alimentar do meu filho a ela e não me arrependo. Graças às suas orientações ele come bem desde a
primeira semana.
Sempre atenciosa e cuidadosa com todos detalhes. Agora dei a ela o desafio de me fazer voltar ao peso que eu tinha antes de engravidar. Sei que o resultado depende mais da minha disciplina, porém com os puxões de orelha e acompnahmento dela, tenho certeza que essa caminhada será leve e saudável.
Eu confio e indico de olhos fechados essa profissional que, além de linda e carinhosa, é uma pessoa maravilhosa.

Busquei indicação de nutricionista para acompanhar a introdução alimentar da minha filha e a Lorena foi de longe a mais recomendada, desde a nossa primeira consulta já pude perceber o porquê. Ela é extremamente atenciosa, paciente, detalhista e tira todas as dúvidas. A introdução alimentar da Isabella foi um sucesso, minha filha come de tudo, e boa parte desse sucesso foi graças a todo acompanhamento, material detalhado e dedicação da Lorena.
