Maternal, infant, and pediatric nutrition focuses on optimizing dietary intake during pregnancy, early childhood, and adolescent development to support healthy growth and long-term well-being. Proper nutrition during these stages is critical for cognitive development, immune function, and disease prevention later in life.
Advances in prenatal care, breastfeeding research, micronutrient supplementation, and early-life nutrition interventions are improving health outcomes for mothers and children. Emphasis is also placed on addressing malnutrition, stunting, and developmental deficiencies through targeted nutrition programs.
This session will explore current developments in maternal and child nutrition, including pregnancy nutrition, infant feeding practices, pediatric dietary management, and strategies to improve early-life health outcomes.
