Optimal maternal and infant nutrition, in particular breastfeeding, is a key national and international focus within public health. This second edition of Maternal and Infant Nutrition & Nurture discusses contemporary challenges and debates related to the short and longer-term effects of maternal and infant nutrition, and of the nature of the relationship between mother and infant as a consequence of nutritive and nurturing behaviour. Each chapter provides a critical and controversial perspective on topics such as feeding the preterm and term infant, infant feeding in the context of HIV, the role of antioxidants in optimal maternal and infant nutrition, issues relating to adolescent nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding and the latest research on baby-led weaning. The diversity within this book reflects the vast pool of expertise involved in compiling this edition.
