A "Plunket" (in New Zealand informal usage) refers to a baby brought up in infancy following the dietary recommendations of the Plunket Society.
The term is derived directly from the Plunket Society (formally known as The Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust), which is a charitable organisation in New Zealand that provides healthcare and support to families with young children. It focuses primarily on the health and well-being of children from birth to five years old. Therefore, to be called a "Plunket" baby implies adherence to the advice and guidelines provided by this society during infancy, particularly regarding diet.
