Free sessions for new parents about feeding and play for babies
The INFANT program will help you to give your new baby the best start in life.
Starting healthy habits early in life is important for good growth and development. It can also help prevent chronic diseases later in life.

The INFANT program can help you with:
- introducing solids
- food refusal and fussy eating

You can also share experiences and ideas with other Canberra parents and carers.
