Pregnancy and paediatrics
In this special episode of The Health Wrap pregnancy series, award-winning broadcaster and mom-of-six Lebang Kgosana is joined in studio by Jeske Wellmann, a dietitian at Mediclinic Sandton.
They’ll be discussing the importance of nutrition now that you’re eating for two, covering topics like what should you be eating for your baby’s development, what nutrients does a growing fetus need, and is anything off-limits? Heads-up: you’ll be saying goodbye to biltong and soft cheeses for a while!
