00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:08.350 align:middle line:84%
There's nothing
in the world quite

00:00:08.350 --> 00:00:10.360 align:middle line:90%
like the arrival of a new baby.

00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:13.300 align:middle line:84%
For parents, this is an
incredibly exciting time,

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:16.280 align:middle line:84%
but it can also be
stressful and confusing,

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.970 align:middle line:84%
especially when it
comes to what, when,

00:00:18.970 --> 00:00:22.330 align:middle line:84%
and how to feed our babies
in their first year of life.

00:00:22.330 --> 00:00:23.100 align:middle line:90%
Hello.

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.110 align:middle line:84%
I'm Professor Karen Campbell
from the School of Exercise

00:00:26.110 --> 00:00:29.170 align:middle line:84%
and Nutrition Science
at Deakin University.

00:00:29.170 --> 00:00:33.130 align:middle line:84%
Research consistently shows
that the first 12 months of life

00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:35.470 align:middle line:84%
are critical in terms
of a child's development

00:00:35.470 --> 00:00:37.630 align:middle line:90%
and lifelong well-being.

00:00:37.630 --> 00:00:40.270 align:middle line:84%
In this time, babies
triple their weight

00:00:40.270 --> 00:00:43.016 align:middle line:84%
and grow 50% longer
than they were at birth.

00:00:43.016 --> 00:00:44.390 align:middle line:84%
Appropriate
nutrition, therefore,

00:00:44.390 --> 00:00:47.990 align:middle line:84%
is going to be vital to
support this development.

00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:49.870 align:middle line:90%
But what should babies be fed?

00:00:49.870 --> 00:00:51.430 align:middle line:90%
How much do they need?

00:00:51.430 --> 00:00:53.410 align:middle line:90%
How often should we feed them?

00:00:53.410 --> 00:00:55.840 align:middle line:84%
And how, with so much
often conflicting

00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.840 align:middle line:84%
advice and information
available to new parents,

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.290 align:middle line:84%
can we be sure we're doing
the right thing by our babies?

00:01:02.290 --> 00:01:06.130 align:middle line:84%
As leaders in the field of
nutrition for all life stages,

00:01:06.130 --> 00:01:09.160 align:middle line:84%

Institute for Physical Activity

00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:11.440 align:middle line:84%
and Nutrition are
uniquely placed

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:13.750 align:middle line:84%
to help you answer
these questions.

00:01:13.750 --> 00:01:16.570 align:middle line:84%
Our community-led infant
programme for new mothers is

00:01:16.570 --> 00:01:19.780 align:middle line:84%
world renowned, while
our team of experienced

00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:23.440 align:middle line:84%
and internationally recognised
academic staff and researchers

00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:27.800 align:middle line:84%
have been delivering online
education for almost 30 years.

00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:29.440 align:middle line:84%
During this two-week
course, you'll

00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:32.100 align:middle line:84%
learn about the nutritional
requirements of infants

00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:34.300 align:middle line:84%
in their first year of
life and investigate

00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:37.465 align:middle line:84%
the importance of things
like breastfeeding and infant

00:01:37.465 --> 00:01:38.770 align:middle line:90%
formula feeding.

00:01:38.770 --> 00:01:42.400 align:middle line:84%
We'll explore when and how
to introduce solid foods,

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.910 align:middle line:84%
and discover the importance of
the family meal, and of course,

00:01:45.910 --> 00:01:49.030 align:middle line:84%
the vital role that parents
play in establishing

00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:52.050 align:middle line:84%
lifelong, healthy eating
habits for their children.

00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:55.060 align:middle line:84%
This course will be of interest
and value to both new parents

00:01:55.060 --> 00:01:57.730 align:middle line:84%
and to health care
professionals alike.

00:01:57.730 --> 00:02:00.640 align:middle line:84%
So whether you want to
know more about nutrition

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.520 align:middle line:84%
and the behavioural
science of feeding babies

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:07.150 align:middle line:84%
or are interested in pursuing
further studies in nutrition,

00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:10.840 align:middle line:84%
I encourage you to join
me and our team of experts

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.420 align:middle line:84%
