    Description
    Adequate nutrition during periods of growth is essential to good health. This course explores nutritional requirements of infants and children from conception through adolescence. Students will start by learning about the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women as the foundation of these lifestages. The course focuses on feeding infants and children for optimal physical and mental development, as well as for treatment and prevention of childhood disease conditions. Additionally, this course outlines the child and maternal nutrition programs available in the United States. The course content is taught through the lens of the social and cultural influences affecting child and maternal nutrition. (A, CSU, UC)
