Early life, from conception through to infancy, is a period of growth and development more rapid and significant than any other stage of life. This critical period - also known as the 'First 1,000 Days' - provides a window of opportunity to influence the lifelong health of a child.

Research suggests that what a couple eats during the lead up to conception, during pregnancy and the first foods given to an infant may impact a baby's future risk of allergies, mental health, risk of chronic diseases (such as diabetes), weight, brain development, problem solving abilities, immunity and taste preferences.
