Need for Program
Experts generally agree that breastmilk is best for a baby. Nutrition is fundamental to the development of all children and sets the stage for health in later life. As well, poor early childhood feeding habits probably contribute to childhood obesity. Providing adequate nutrition to infants and toddlers is complicated by a range of factors including: cultural beliefs, underlying disease, disability, myths and fads. The NHMRC (Evidence-based) Infant Feeding Guidelines primarily relate to healthy infants (2015). However, there are many situations where guidance is needed for children with specific medical needs. Therefore it is essential that nurses and midwives have the nutritional knowledge and skills to prevent, intervene and educate about infant and toddler healthy feeding.
Purpose of Program
This program will inform health professionals about best available evidence relating to infant and toddler feeding so that optimum nutritional outcomes are achieved.
