The term "nutrition" refers to the eating of food for the aim of obtaining energy. For example,
the phrase "nutrition" can apply to both the vitamins and minerals found in fresh food and the
importance of eating well when attempting to conceive a child.
Pregnant women, in particular, must pay close attention to what they eat. The developing
embryo relies substantially on the mother's diet early in pregnancy, especially while
breastfeeding. Extensive research has shown that the mother's nutrition can impact the child's
health, including the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, asthma, and diabetes
throughout their life
Insufficient or excessive amounts of certain nutrients can lead to fetal impairment or health
problems, and malnourished mothers are at risk of giving birth to children with neurological
disorders and defects. Approximately 25% of children worldwide are born with suboptimal
birth weights due to a lack of proper nutrition. Additionally, certain factors such as alcohol
consumption or excessive caffeine intake can have detrimental and irreversible effects on the
baby's development, particularly during the early stages of pregnancy.
Pregnancy and early childhood are critical periods of rapid physical growth and development.
Inadequate nutrition during these crucial stages can put children at risk of impaired emotional
and cognitive development, as well as adverse health outcomes. As a result, several programs
and efforts emphasize the importance of proper nutrition for pregnant and lactating women,
encouraging them to feed their families well.
The internship program, as the final prerequisite for graduation, prepares us for future
professional success. This course is essential for understanding about nutrition and its effects
on our bodies and thoughts. As Nutrition and Food Engineering students, we are required to
perform internships at hospitals in order to learn the ropes, gain hands-on experience, and
become acquainted with important rules and regulations. This internship is an excellent
opportunity to obtain hands-on experience.
The internship program has assisted us in filling knowledge gaps and understanding the
fundamentals of the healthcare system. This report was written in compliance with the
Nutrition Food Engineering Bachelor of Science degree program standards. My internship
report focuses on prenatal care and its impact on neonatal health, as well as dietary guidance
for pregnant moms and their children. My internship was at the MA o SHISHU HOSPITAL
in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Throughout my internship, I followed the directives and supervision of my university's supervisor, Prof. Dr. Md. Bellal Hossain. Like any other student, I planned my internship schedule. I choose to put my report's major attention on the issue of "Effect on ANC of Neonatal Health," which focuses on the impact that prenatal therapy has on baby wellbeing. |
