Answer 1

1. Nutritution is a very important during the pregnanacy because pregnancy involves development of a new life inside the mother.So if the mother dose not get proper nutrition then it will be very difficult for the embrayo to grow up properly with good helth,as the embrayo got its nutritution from the mother.

2. The craving is a common phenomena to eat foods which the mother generally doesn't like to eat and also develops a dislike for some foods which they usually have liked to eat.But around the third trimester the mother develops sudden interest to eat those foods,it is very common and seen in many pregnant women.So it is real not myth.

3.The breast milk is the better than any commercial formula milk because it is enriched with proper vitamins, energy, nutition and immunoglobulins (Ig) .The immunoglobulins are the most important thing because it is not present in any formula milk and it is one of the most important thing because it helps to grow immunity in the infant which helps to fight aganist the disease for life long. The commercial formula milk just provide some nutient and vitamins to the infant and sometimes which is not in proper proportion and it may also cause some digestive issue in the infant.So breast milk is the best for the infants.

4. Breast feeding provides the infant good nutition along with the proper immunity in proper balance which is not available in commercial formula milk. The breast milk is also enriched in proper vitamine and other macro nutritents like the protein,fat,minerals which are not found in the commercial formula milks.
