Fascinating insights into the developmental consequences of the first 1000 days of life

There've been a number of radio and television programmes that I've learnt alot from lately. First was BBC Two's Horizon, "The nine months that made you", next BBC Radio Four's "The first 1000 days: a legacy for life", and finally, BBC R4 again, Women's Hour and "Babies and salt". Altogether, they provide a very interesting collection of research into the consequences of behaviour in pregnancy, but also lifestyles of Mum and Dad around conception. I certainly learned alot and recommend a listen/watch if you can catch them in time. (I'm being a bit lazy, but may summarize the findings for you in another blog if I'm feeling generous!)
