The first 1,000 days of life, from pregnancy through a child's second birthday, are critical for child development, laying the foundation for lifelong health and growth. Optimal nutrition during this period can prevent malnutrition and its adverse, lasting effects. Malnourished children in this window face higher risks of illness, death, and long-term developmental issues, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and poor health outcomes.
