Abstract
Nutritional problems often occur in Indonesia due to the lack of knowledge, believes, values and norms in the community. Eating nutritious food is an important habit for children’s health and development. Over a third of children and infants’ death as well as eleven percent of diseases in the world are caused by under nutrition in pregnant women and children. Furthermore, under nutrition in pregnant women could lead to physical, mental and intellectual development impairments for the child. A stunted and wasted newborn will have a substandard growth and become an adult with a short body as well as low intelligence and income. In order to have a smart child with optimum growth, a family needs to pay close attention to the critical period of first 1000 days of life (1000 Hari Pertama Kehidupan), from the pregnancy period to first 2 years since the child is born. The first 1000 days are critical period where any occurring impairment will have a permanent and untreatable effect. This session will discuss the healthy behaviors that need to be adopted during pregnancy (9 months or 270 days). (Indonesia)
