The period of time from a child’s conception up until their second birthday, is characterised by rapid growth, development and maturation of organs and systems1. It is a unique period in life during which epigenetic programming takes place2 and variation in the quality or quantity of nutrients consumed by mothers during pregnancy, or infants in early life, can exert permanent and powerful effects upon developing tissues. These ‘programming’ effects are now a well-recognised risk factor for non-communicable diseases of adulthood, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke and coronary heart disease1.
