In spite of these restrictions, which apply to the first weeks after childbirth, we try to prepare a varied and tasty diet for all mothers," says the nutritionist from Horovice.

The kitchen in Hořovice includes fish dishes in the menu twice a week in the form of hot and cold dishes. Mothers in the Hořovice maternity hospital receive milk and dairy products daily in the form of breakfast, afternoon snacks and second dinners.
