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.

"Raw sushi and sashimi may contain bacteria/parasites that can make you sick during pregnancy. And because pregnancy suppresses our immune system, we are much more susceptible to serious illness. Hence better avoid sushi and sashimi for our baby's sake...."

"Sashimi, which contains raw or undercooked fish and meats should be avoided because of the risk of contamination with bacteria and salmonella. Raw fish can contain tapeworms and other parasites that your body (and your baby) cannot fight off effectively while pregnant. It's safe to eat sashimi and sushi, as long as any raw fish used to make it has been frozen beforehand. Also stay away from any kind of sashimi made from fish that may contain high levels of mercury which has been linked to development delays and brain damage in the fetus."
