Among the recommendations, are an expansion of the number of midwives, as well as ensuring improved resources for existing midwives.
'The Early Years' has made a total of 100 recommendations to make sure resources and policies focus on optimising the life-chances for young children.
In the report, it said to improve antenatal care, maternal nutrition and mental health, that there should be an increase in the number of midwifes, plus a national guarantee that every woman will have the support of a midwife she knows and can trust through her pregnancy to postnatal care. In addition, the role of the midwife should be increased during the antenatal period, while antenatal care should be available in children's centres, via a hub for a holistic and multi-professional approach to care.
Other recommendations said that work should be done to promote, support and facilitate breastfeeding, bonding and attachment. It added that to facilitate this, there should be improved training for midwives and maternity support workers in breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Increased resources for recruitment and retention of midwives in hospital and in the community have also been suggested.
The sub-group of the APPG, which put together the report, involved academics, health and education specialists, as well as representatives from the food and drink industry.
It was sponsored by The University of Northampton.
Helen Clark, author of the report, said: "The cost to the exchequer of failure to invest at that time can incur massive expenditure across the life course and an unwarranted burden on social services, health, education, benefit and the criminal justice system."
Floella Benjamin, Chair of the APPG on a Fit and Healthy Childhood, added: "This timely and cogent new report proves the wisdom of the traditional saying: 'Sometimes to save money – you have to spend first'."
