Healthy Beginnings

This Healthy Beginnings App is designed to improve infant feeding practices, eating habits and active play, and reduce TV viewing time, as well as reduce family behavioural risk factors for childhood obesity. The App health promotion contents are developed corresponding to early childhood developmental milestones with key health promotion messages including:

• Breast is best
• No solids for me until 6 months
• I eat a variety of fruit and vegetables everyday
• Only water in my cup
• TV away lets go play
• I am part of an active family

The Healthy Beginnings App is built on evidence from the Healthy Beginnings Trial (linking to http://www.healthybeginnings.net.au/).
