INFANT sessions are now being offered in various organisations across Victoria and increasingly across Australia. Please contact your local Maternal and Child Health/Child and Family Health services to see if INFANT is being run in your area.
The My Baby Now app was co-designed with parents, maternal and child health nurses and experts at the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, Deakin University and the University of Sydney. It was designed to complement INFANT.
“l love this app, it is the best one out there and l found the information predicated, normalised and provided strategies around the developmental challenges we faced at the time. l found myself less anxious as the information guided me to solutions l could then talk about with my partner.”
“I loved it. The topics in the notifications were always spookily relevant to what was going on in my baby’s development. The content was written in a simple easy to understand language which was fact based which l loved-so much on the internet is bias/emotional tainted/opinion.”
The Western Public Health Unit in Victoria, in collaboration with INFANT have translated the highly visual INFANT booklets and videos into 6 prioritiy languages: Arabic, Hindi, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Urdu and Vietnamese. These resources support mums, dads and carers with evidence-based feeding and active play advice for babies aged 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age and have been carefully curated to complement the four INFANT group sessions. These translated resources are in an initial pilot phase and will be evaluated and refined over time.
Please complete this form to access the resources. We are using this information for research purposes only, to inform the ongoing evaluation of the translated booklets.
For mums, dads and carers to access MBN, all you need to do is download the app and complete a brief registration form, which then creates your account to access the app.
