Does malnutrition affect only the body or even the brain? When are the crucial stages in child's brain development? These are the questions that are often asked and questioned by us especially the first time mothers or expecting to be mothers.
It has been discovered that the crucial stage of brain growth development is at the time when the brain is at its peak of development. This occurs near the middle of the pregnancy period and ends between a child's second and third birthday.

Child's brain should be the top concern of the mother, because it is the hardest things to detect during and after pregnancy.

Good nutrients should be available not only during pregnancy but also before pregnancy. That is why most of the doctors advice to women to take vitamins if they have the plans in getting pregnant.

Moreover, if the nutrients are not provided during the full growth of the brain, the opportunity of making the child to be smart is lost forever. Then, these important vitamins and minerals needed by the baby should be provided by her mother during pregnancy to avoid slow learning of child after birth.
