While pregnancy can be a beautiful journey, let’s be honest—it can also come with some seriously unpleasant symptoms. From relentless nausea to nagging backache, your body is working hard to grow that baby. But take heart: There are tried-and-tested ways to ease many of the toughest pregnancy symptoms. Here’s how to find some much-needed relief.

Pregnancy symptoms may be part of the journey, but you don’t have to simply put up with them. With a bit of planning and some helpful strategies, you can manage the discomfort and focus on the excitement ahead.

Il latte materno è la migliore fonte di nutrizione per i neonati. È importante che, in preparazione e durante l'allattamento al seno, le madri seguano una dieta sana ed equilibrata. L'allattamento misto (seno e biberon) nelle prime settimane di vita può ridurre la produzione di latte materno e la decisione di non allattare al seno può essere difficile da invertire. Se decidete di utilizzare il latte artificiale per neonati, dovreste seguire attentamente le istruzioni.
