Proper diet for expecting moms/ A-1 Home Care Postpartum Care


January is National Birth Defect Prevention Month!

For this occasion, A-1 Home Care has compiled some resources for new moms regarding proper diet. 

When you're pregnant, what you eat and drink is the main source of nourishment for your baby. In fact, the link between what you consume and the health of your baby is much stronger than once thought. That's why doctors now say, for example, that no amount of alcohol consumption should be considered safe during pregnancy.

The extra food you eat shouldn't just be empty calories — and our Postpartum Caregivers are well aware of this. It should provide the nutrients your growing baby needs. For example, calcium helps make and keep bones and teeth strong. While you're pregnant, you still need calcium for your body, plus extra calcium for your developing baby. Similarly, you require more of all the essential nutrients than you did before you became pregnant.


A-1 Home Care provides new families assistance with cleanliness, daily health, and self care. Everyone deserves to live in a positive environment, even if they need help to get there. Our Beverly Hills 24 Hour Caregivers do that around the clock, making sure that the fridge is full, floors are clean, bed is tucked, and babies asleep at night.
