Healthy Mums and Bubs

This newly developed program is being piloted to provide healthy eating and physical activity from infancy. This prevention program aims to help mothers and babies develop healthy infant feeding habits to prevent unnecessary weight gain at the start of life, and also manage post-pregnancy weight gain in the mother. The program
1. Uses a parenting support approach to enhance knowledge (psychoeducation), skill and confidence of parents supported by reference materials on child feeding, eating practices, and physical activity
2. Promotes behaviour change in a fun setting and explores feeding habits in the context of the mother-infant interaction.
3. Explores the relationships between maternal mood and unhealthy eating traps.
4. Uses health coaching principles to promote healthy behaviour and identify barriers to changing physical and eating habits, empowering parents to find their own solutions.
