Nutrition plays a vital role in this development, but specific guidelines and support for nutritional needs of pregnant women are lacking. This issue crosses multiple disciplines.

The Moore Institute is working to spur these conversations. In May 2019, the Moore Institute hosted the first Nutrition in Pregnancy Conference, gathering scientists, clinicians and nutrition advocates. Talks covered current research in the unique needs of women before and during pregnancy and lactation, and how those nutritional needs impact the lifelong health of the mother and her offspring.
