Around this time of year, it can become a struggle to hold onto your principles. Your commitment to eating organic goes out the window when they bring the candy canes around and your disdain for deforestation takes a hit when the family cuts down the Christmas tree. The holidays are rife with excess and can take a massive toll on the environment. From the pretty paper that goes from wrapping to waste in one short day to the emissions spent going over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers house.

Basically your baby goes from a little blob that can't be seen with the human eye into a seven, eight, nine or even ten pound adorable newborn baby. In order for your baby to develop as healthy as possible, your diet should play a big part. This is because your diet is how your baby is going to receive all the vitamins, minerals, protein and fluids that he or she needs to grow and develop. The best thing you and any other pregnant mother can do for your growing baby is to eat as healthy as you possibly can. Let us look at all the benefits eating well can do for your baby. First, eating right is going to help your baby's organ development. Your baby only has a short time to develop vital organs such as their heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys.
