Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA)

This Grand Round is in conjunction with the Women’s &amp; Children’s Hospital and Healthy Development Adelaide.
Australian infant feeding guidelines encourage deliberate and regular inclusion of common allergens into baby’s diets to help prevent food allergy. However,there is no nationally representative information about Australian infant feeding practices to assess if this is happening.  Researchers from SAHMRI’s Women and Kids theme will discuss how this knowledge gap is being addressed.

His research focuses on micronutrients in pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, lactation, and early life (first 1000 days) with studies conducted in Canada, NZ, Asia and Africa.
