Dr. Khapekar's First 1000 days of Child Wellness
The first 1000 days of a child (270 days of pregnancy + 365 days of child's first year + 365 days of child second year) is the most crucial period of his life. The brain development & physical growth is very rapid, early metabolic programming of the body is completed & the foundation of optimum health, growth and brain development across the life span is established which also impacts a child's ability to grow, learn and thrive.
Do You Know ?
Many types of research have shown that reduced growth and development in the first 1000 days of life have a long term irreversible impact on a baby's life; including stunted growth, underweight, obesity, poor cognitive development leading to poor school performance, behavioral problems, defects in social skills, high risk of hypertension, diabetes and poor adult health.
India is facing a double burden of malnutrition at one end one in three children are stunted, underweight, 40-60% of them are anaemic and more than 30% are overweight. According to recent data, around 50% of children are very poor in school performance, the major reason behind that is because of poor nutrition & care during the first 1000 days of life leading to inadequate growth & development.
