          Your baby’s development

          Your baby is all about the hands this week.

          It’s twenty fifth week of pregnancy and your baby is using her tiny developing hands to learn about herself and her surroundings. In fact, the nerve connections in her hands continue to develop and she is coordinated enough to make a fist.
          It’s twenty fifth week of pregnancy and your baby is using her tiny developing hands to learn about herself and her surroundings. In fact, the nerve connections in her hands continue to develop and she is coordinated enough to make a fist.

          Here’s what else is going on this week:
          • Your baby weighs about 700 grams, and is about the length of a small cantaloupe melon.
          • She is small enough to move around in your uterus and she will occasionally explore her environment.
          • Her leg muscles are developed enough that she can now kick. You’ll know it when it happens!

          Calcium for a strong mom and a growing baby.

          Eating calcium-rich foods helps ensure that your baby continues to grow strong every day. If your calcium intake is low, your baby will actually draw from the calcium in your bones and teeth, which could set you up for osteoporosis later in life. So make sure you’re getting enough calcium for both of you. Low calcium intake is also associated with higher risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

So make sure you’re getting enough calcium for both of you. Low calcium intake is also associated with higher risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

          Dairy products are the main dietary source of bioavailable calcium; other foods rich in calcium are leafy green vegetables, sardines, anchovies, fortified soy products, and fortified cereals. Consider eating three or more of the following foods every day to meet your daily calcium requirement:
          • low-fat or fat-free milk
          • low-fat yogurt
          • low-fat cottage cheese
          • low-fat grated cheese
          • edamame beans
          • calcium fortified orange juice
          • calcium and vitamin D fortified soy milk
          • milk-based soup
          If you have special dietary requirements or needs, talk to your doctor about appropriate options.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
