Webinar 1: Introduction to solids – the evidence-based approach in 2020
Recent research in infant nutrition has led to many changes to how we should introduce solids to manage the risk of food allergy, obesity and fussy eating. Tune in to this webinar for an up-to-date, practical summary of research and guidelines everyone working with children under 12 months should know.
Webinar 2: Vegan and vegetarian diets in children
Plant-based diets are becoming more common in Australia. With more families and their children adopting this way of eating, it is important to provide relevant and practical education to ensure these diets meet the needs of the paediatric population. This webinar summarises key areas of risk and practical ways of working with families for the best health outcome for their children.
