The Growing Strong resources have been developed to help health staff talk with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families about nutrition for mothers, babies and young children. Growing Strong resources provide information about eating well during pregnancy as well as offering suggestions for dealing with some common food and nutrition related problems during pregnancy. Information is also provided about common breastfeeding issues and the appropriate introduction of solids for babies.
