Abstract
Introduction
This review identified and appraised Australian open‐access online resources relating to feeding and nutrition during the first 5 years of life.
Methods
Eligible resources were identified by hand searching plus a targeted search of pertinent source websites (government, hospitals and health services, peak bodies, and nutrition organisations) published in English with/without translations to other languages between 2012 and 2022. Search terms relating to the population (children) AND topic (nutrition OR feeding) were entered into Google and Bing. Critical appraisal of each resource was conducted using a modified version of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Clear Communication Index.
Results
The search identified 1327 nutrition resources, of which 1067 were appraised. Forty‐five percent were paper‐based resources, 47% were online content only, and 8% audio‐visual resources. Almost half of the resources (45%) broadly addressed the 0–5 years age range, and 24% provided information on breast or formula feeding. Limited resources were found specifically addressing growth and development (5%) and introducing solids (8%). Only 10% of resources were culturally tailored and only 3% were translated into a language other than English. Appraisal showed the majority included visual cues and appropriate language, but less included images to support the main message of the resource.
Discussion
Although there were a large volume of evidence‐based nutrition resources available in Australia for feeding children under 5 years, they were highly dispersed and of varying quality. Collating and presenting these resources in an open‐access resource hub would empower families and education and health professionals in the nutritional care of young children.
