Imagine a fetus in its mother's womb: this body is its home.

This refuge must have solid foundations to support the baby's growth from the very first moments of the baby's life.

The mother must take care of herself, of her diet in order to be able to give her baby everything he needs to develop, until he is at least two years old.

From the cell to the 2-year-old child who will have reached half of his growth by this age, there are 1,000 days and these are the most crucial days of life, during which the foundations are laid.
