The Importance of a good toddler diet and vitamin D

Toddlerhood is a very exciting time for both your little one and yourself. They are learning about the world and starting to crawl, walk and talk!

They need a good diet to help give them the right fuel to explore. We know through research that toddlers in the Ireland are having too little Vitamin D. Vitamin D is difficult to get from a regular diet but it is even harder for toddlers as they eat less than adults. It is found naturally in a few foods, such as eggs and salmon, and there are some foods that have added Vitamin D - just check the label!

SMA® PRO Toddler Milk is specially tailored to help provide the important nutrients toddlers need, as part of a varied and balanced diet, such as calcium and vitamin D for normal growth and development of bones. 2x 200ml servings of SMA® PRO Toddler Milk provides toddlers with 108% of the RI for vitamin D.  Reference Intake (RI) is the amount of vitamins and minerals required per day by young children to help meet their daily nutritional requirements.

 

We’d love to hear what foods your toddler has been trying out recently in the comments below.
