Women have distinct nutritional requirements throughout their life, especially before and during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, when nutritional vulnerability is greatest. Ensuring women have nutritious diets and adequate services and care is fundamental for the survival and well-being of mothers and their children. Pregnant mothers find it difficult to stay in high spirits all the time. For women who have limited financial resources, eating a wholesome meal that can nourish their body and their child’s, becomes difficult. Lack of awareness about malnourishment among parents can severely affect children in the long run.

Uneducated parents in rural and urban areas belonging to economically weak sections are usually unaware of the risks of lack of proper diet. Adding to this dilemma, there are many families which cannot afford feeding themselves and the struggle with a lack of nutritious food, leads to malnourishment. Malnourishment is a health problem resulting from inadequate and suboptimal nutritional status, caused by poor and unbalanced consumption of macronutrients and/or micronutrients among Expecting Pregnant women and children
