Step 3: 1-3 Years

Meeting the nutrition challenges of your growing child

Toddlers aged 1 to 3 years bring a new dimension to parenthood. Your child is now more upwardly mobile, and their inquisitive nature is a delight for any parent. The early years are also an important time in the nutritional life of a child. During this age, while growth has slowed, the body's nutritional requirements are still relatively high.

Meeting a young child's nutrient requirements can be a challenge. Toddlers can become finicky and easily distracted at mealtimes and ensuring that toddlers receive the proper nutrients and supplements can be a difficult task. According to some nutritional surveys, the diets of many young children do not meet the recommended daily requirements for vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, iron and zinc. Much of this is due

To switch from an iron-fortified formula to full cream milk at an early age

The increased consumption of fruit juice in place of a calcium-rich milk source

The inadequate intake of most food groups, including meats and vegetables

These feeding practices place young children at risk for nutritional deficiencies, thus compromising their growth and development.
