New parents have told us how they often feel overwhelmed with so much conflicting information – it’s not easy to sort fact from fiction!
The My Baby Now app offers you trustworthy and up-to-date information about feeding and active play with your baby.
My Baby Now is an app developed by experts in child nutrition and active play at Deakin University and the University of Sydney, and with input from parents and Maternal and Child Health Nurses.
My Baby Now also complements the information provided in the MCH app. The MCH app covers broader topics around development, while the My Baby Now app provides a more detailed focus on feeding and active play. Both are trusted sources of information for you.
