How Good Nutrition Can Support Child Growth
When your child reaches the toddler stage, they start learning and exploring at an incredible pace. They are in a crucial phase of growing and learning thus they need important nutrients for their growth. Yet they often do not get enough of what they need.
Milk and dairy products are very important elements in your precious little toddler’s diet as among other things, they ensure that your child gets enough calcium for strong bone growth and healthy teeth, protein, polyunsaturated fats (Omega-3), iron and folic acid.
Thus, it is important to pick the right growing-up milk that contains these elements in necessary quantities.

How Good Nutrition Supports Your Child’s Growth
When sourcing for the right formula milk for your child, it is easy to get lost and overwhelmed by the mind-boggling list of ingredients that are said to be beneficial for your growing child. One important ingredient to look out for is 2’FL – fucosyllactose.
A Straits Times article cited Dr. Mark Underwood, Chief of Paediatric Neonatology and Professor of Paediatrics at the University of California Davis saying that “70% of the immune system is located in the gut. Hence it is important that a child receives nutrients like probiotics to strengthen his or her immune and digestive systems.”
As such, 2’-FL is ‘critically involved in feeding the healthy bacteria or microbes in the gut to promote immune development in a child’s system’. 2’-FL stimulates the growth of good bacteria by serving as a source of food for them.
Studies have also shown that babies fed with 2’-FL experienced less upper respiratory tract infections and diarrhoea. In addition, consumption of 2’-FL is also linked to an increase in healthy substances in the gut such as short chain fatty acids essential to helping the gut and immune system mature and develop. Hence, 2’-FL is a great way to support a child’s natural body defences.
Remember, less sick days means more time for your child to be out and about, exploring the world and all that it has to offer!
A growing child also needs nutrient dense foods which provide them with a good amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals to support healthy growth and development. Protein, also known as “Bricks of Life” are essential for your child’s growth, maintenance and repair of the body. In fact, all muscles and organs are predominantly composed of proteins. Key nutrients that can be obtained from protein include iron, omega 3s, zinc, vitamins B and D as well as calcium. All of these are integral to your child’s development.
