How do I know she is getting enough Calcium? (3 min read)](https://advanceddietitiansgroup.com.au/my-baby-has-cows-milk-allergy-how-do-i-know-she-is-getting-enough-calcium-3-min-read/): My Baby has Cow’s Milk Allergy. How do I know she is getting enough Calcium? This is one of the most common questions we get asked. With the rise in allergies, more and more mums have been told to not only cut dairy out of baby’s diet but also their own diet if they are breastfeeding. The good news is that if you are breastfeeding baby, breastmilk is so amazing and dynamic that it changes to baby’s needs over time and bub only needs a small amount of calcium especially whilst they are under 12 months age. Even if you are formula feeding your bub or mix feeding, all commercially produced infant formula products available in Australia and New Zealand must comply with the composition and safety requirements outlined in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Standard 2.9.1 of this code specifies the mandatory nutrient content for infant formula and follow-on formula to ensure that the nutrition requirements of infants aged up to 12 months are met. So bottom line, if your bub is under 12 months, they tend to be getting enough calcium. - [8 Tips for Sustainable Eating (3 min read)](https://advanceddietitiansgroup.com.au/8-tips-for-sustainable-eating-3-min-read/): What is sustainable eating?

What motivates you?](https://advanceddietitiansgroup.com.au/metabolism-lifestyle-behaviour-change-what-motivates-you/): But let’s face it, behaviour change is super hard. It’s hard to get motivated and results can take longer than what you think. Couple this with often unrealistic expectations and several social media influencers having a go at providing nutrition advice these days… Like I said behaviour change is super hard. I thought I would take a different angle and share something a bit more personal. And why not, self-motivation is personal. So, let’s get personal. - [Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in children.

Yes! Yes you do. Listeriosis is a rare illness caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria called listeria monocytogenes. Tragically, it has been confirmed that  the most recent case of listeria monocytogenes has resulted in the death of an elderly women in Dandenong South, Victoria after eating contaminated meals on wheels. You may get well-meaning advice from your mum or mother in law saying that ‘we didn’t need to worry about that in our day’. Well, ignorance is bliss. Now we know that infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth and infection of the newborn. So, of course we want to be cautious. Pregnant women and the foetus, newborns, the elderly and people with impaired immune systems (eg people on cancer treatment or on steroids) are at high risk of getting listeriosis. It doesn’t mean you need to stay at home and never eat out but here’s how it can be prevented, a list of foods to avoid and foods to include. - [When was the last time you ‘broke the bread’ with your family?](https://advanceddietitiansgroup.com.au/when-was-the-last-time-you-broke-the-bread-with-your-family/): Eating family meals – that is eating together around a table (or picnic rug), no matter what the food is trumps eating meals that is of the highest nutritious quality if you are not ‘breaking the bread’ with anyone and eating together as a family. According to the latest research, ‘children who eat their meals together with their family are more likely to experience long-term physical and mental health benefits’. Having parents at mealtimes provides young children with examples of firsthand social interaction and discussions around day to day issues. Routine family meals can also provide kids with a sense of security and belonging. A Columbian University study found that 71% of teenagers said they consider catching up and spending time with family members as the best part of having family meals. Research that looked at 5000 teenagers has shown that when children eat with their parents, they are more likely to be emotionally strong and have better mental health. How about that! - [Lunch Box Ideas?](https://advanceddietitiansgroup.com.au/lunch-box-chores/): Finally, If you’re more of a visual person, we love this short video https://youtu.be/hy4wLh72tGQ from Nutrition Australia (http://www.nutritionaustralia.org/) with some other lunch box ideas and a good visual of what you can aim to include in kids lunch boxes to keep their little or big tummies satisfied.
