Choose Toddler Growing Up Milk That’s Nutritionally Rich And Value For Money

Choose Toddler Growing Up Milk That’s Nutritionally Rich And Value For Money

Experts agree that growing-up milk can prevent some common nutritional deficiencies in the diets of young children. Here's how you can choose one that is affordable and supports your child’s nutritional needs.

The pandemic has turned our lives upside down, and we continue to be faced with a lot of uncertainty. As mums and dads, our primary concern though, has always been to put our little ones’ needs first – we want them to be healthy, happy and strong. 

Good nutrition is particularly important during the early years of life when body growth and brain development are faster than during any other period. Adequate intake of both macronutrients and micronutrients is essential to ensure optimal growth and brain development.

Everything from learning, to memory, attention, processing speed and mood are affected by the foods we consume.

The toddler years, particularly age 1-3, can get a little tricky though, as your little one may start to reject many kinds of food he/she previously ate and may refuse to try new ones. Your toddler is in a phase where he/she is busy exploring independence and control.

The amount and quality of food your child thus eats may not meet his/her daily nutritional requirements. A well-nourished body is in fact a higher requisite at this stage since it is more capable of fighting off colds, flu and other common illnesses.

In the current challenging times, whilst nutrition for your little one continues to be an important requirement, it should not come at a very heavy price.

How to find the right milk formula / growing up milk?

Experts agree that growing up milk can prevent some common nutritional deficiencies in the diets of young children. But with so many options available, it can certainly be overwhelming for parents like you to keep up and choose a growing-up milk that’s right for your toddler. 

You might want to consider these 3 A’s:

  • Accessibility: Can you easily find the formula where you normally shop?
  • Appropriateness: Does your toddler tolerate the formula well? Is he/she growing appropriately?
  • Affordability: Is it value for money among some of the premium brands available in the market? Now here’s a secret tip: When evaluating a brand, consider the price per feed rather than the price per tin because the suggested scoops per feed and scoop size may vary.

Try Abbott’s Similac range

The Similac range of growing up milk (Similac Gain and Similac Total Comfort) offers great solutions. 

They are scientifically formulated with changing nutritional needs in mind to support your growing child’s overall physical and mental development, whilst being the best price per feed among other premium formulas available in the market.

Its EyeQ Plus nutrition system includes Natural Vitamin E, Lutein; and DHA that supports brain and eye development.
