Summary

This study follows 240 pregnant women and their babies to see if the mother's intake of certain nutrients (like choline, folate, and vitamin B12) during pregnancy is linked to the child's brain development up to age 2. Researchers will measure nutrients in the mother's blood and diet, and then test the baby's thinking, language, and motor skills. The goal is to better understand how early nutrition might shape a child's development.
