Childhood stunting / malnutrition could be reversible past the first 1000 days

"There’s no doubt about the importance of the first thousand days for a child’s growth and development, so nutrition intervention needs to start early. But intervention shouldn’t always end when the child reaches two. It needs to be sustained throughout childhood and target the most stunted and undernourished children so they have a decent chance to recover."
