Maternal and child nutrition. Last updated: 2014

Ano de publicação: 2014

This guideline covers the nutrition of pregnant women, including women who are planning to become pregnant, mothers and other carers of children aged under 5 and their children. In particular, it aims to address disparities in the nutrition of low‑income and other disadvantaged groups compared with the general population. It does not give detailed advice on what constitutes a healthy diet. In November 2014, recommendation 3 was replaced by NICE’s guideline on vitamin D: increasing supplement use among at-risk groups. NICE has also produced guidelines on antenatal care, diabetes in pregnancy, intrapartum care and postnatal care.
