Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

"Most pregnant women take smaller but more frequent meals. If you need a small snacks in between main meals, here are some healthy ideas: -Corn-on-the-cob: Brush olive oil over steamed corn. -Cereal ‘n’ milk: Have whole-grain cereal or oats with low-fat milk. Top with some sliced fruit. -Homemade strawberry milkshake: Blend ½ cup of low-fat yoghurt, ¼ glass of low-fat milk and ¹/³ cup of strawberries, bananas or any fruit of choice for a delicious smoothie. -Fruit kebabs: Thread some cubes of apples or grapes onto satay sticks and serve with a small tub of low-fat yoghurt. -Sandwiches: Toast wholemeal bread and include different fillings (e.g. baked beans,low-fat cheese, an omelette or cooked sardines/tuna). -Handful of nuts: Have a handful of mixed nuts for a quick snack or mix some ready-to-eat cereal, dried fruit and nuts in a sandwich bag for a snack on-the-go. -Home-made yoghurt dips: with carrot sticks and celery. -Popiah, steamed dim sums, Vietnamese rice paper spring rolls and savory mungbean cake (ang ku kueh)."
