At present, there are no national data collected on dietary practices and nutrient intakes among New Zealand (NZ) infants. This report represents the first study in New Zealand to provide evidence of population adherence to the national food and nutrition recommendations in the first year of life. The data presented comes from an ethnically diverse and contemporary sample of New Zealand children, whose mothers were recruited and interviewed during pregnancy and then re-interviewed at several time points through early childhood: the Growing up in New Zealand cohort study (GUiNZ).
