Why is growing-up milk so important for toddlers?
Growing-up milk has been created to suit small children’s needs perfectly.
Milk and dairy products are very important elements in your child’s diet because, among other things, they ensure that children get enough calcium for strong bone growth and healthy teeth.
Growing-up milk also contains further components for growth apart from calcium that toddlers at this important phase of growing and learning need and often don’t get enough of. According to the German Nutrition Society Report from 2008, small children between 1 and 3 years old are getting too much protein, not enough polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3), not enough iron, iodine, folic acid or vitamin D. Growing-up milk contains these elements in the necessary quantities.
It is recommended that toddlers receive 300-330 ml of milk and dairy products daily – ideally served in 2 – 3 portions throughout the day.
