Background And Aims: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] are often affected during their reproductive years and may have many perinatal queries that require the comprehensive perspectives of a multidisciplinary team [MDT]. The purpose of this topical review is to assess the scientific evidence and provide expert opinion related to nutritional, psychological and supportive care of women and their infants throughout the prenatal, antenatal and infant periods.
Methods: A consensus expert panel of a paediatrician, gastroenterologists, nurses and dietitians was convened by the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation.
