Pre pregnancy diet is very important for baby’s normal development. Timing of availability of certain nutrients is critical. For example, folate is very important in the first few weeks of conception for the growth and development of neural tube. Neural tube closes by the 3rd week of pregnancy even before a woman knows that she is pregnant. That’s why pre pregnancy diet should be balanced, healthy and include a wide variety of foods.

Follow your child’s milestones. There is an age range for every milestone. So do not panic if you don’t see your child achieving a specific one like rolling, crawling, sitting or walking.
Give plenty of opportunity to do so. Don’t be overprotective.
Soon you will see your baby trying and getting better and better at it.
If you still don’t see the milestone developing or your child is slow in all activities, consult a developmental paediatrician
