What little boys and girls are made of


Have you ever wondered what a newborn baby's skin, bones,
blood, flesh, organs and so on are made of? Well it's certainly not
puppy dogs' tails and it isn't sugar and spice either! You'll be aware
that bones are made from calcium, amongst other things, and that
blood contains iron. You may also know that flesh is made up of
protein and that more than half of a baby's brain is constructed
from a special type of fat called an essential fat. But where do the
calcium, iron, protein and essential fat - not to mention the 50
other essential nutrients that make up a baby - come from? The
answer is food. From the moment of conception to the arrival,
nine months later, of a fully functioning, living, breathing human
being, a baby is using the food that it receives in the womb to grow
and develop.



And that's just the beginning of the story A newborn baby
grows at a fantastic rate, tripling its birth weight in the first year.Hence, complete nutrients intakes for will be mums are so important.
