THE beginnings of the long-term health problems associated with childhood obesity could lurk inside the school lunch box.

Keeping the Family Regular

Babies may become constipated if their poo is dry and crumbly, or like pellets. This commonly occurs around the time they start solids.

Superfoods to the Rescue

It's time to start putting knowledge of superfoods into practise as part of a balanced diet, to reduce the risk of potential illnesses.

Want to make a baby? Then it's time to look at your diet.

"A woman's diet is of enormous importance during, but also before, pregnancy," says dietitian and Mother & Baby magazine expert Kate Di Prima. "In fact, the nutritional status of the mother at the point of conception can have a profound influence on the health of the baby during the foetal stage and far beyond."

After your baby has had some experience with pureed or smooth foods move on to a mashed texture. The skills developed through eating support other kinds of development.
