Abstract

Governments everywhere have endorsed childrens rights to health in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (United Nations, 1990). This encompasses safe and adequate food and nutrition. Infants and young children rely on caregivers to decide what they eat, hopefully using good information and advice, but often influenced by marketing. Do new parents get the support they need on alternative diets?
