Mums know how active toddlers can be, busy exploring their surroundings and discovering novel things. Unfortunately, studies carried out by the UK Department of Health showed that many toddlers do not get the right nutrients and in the right quantities. Between the ages of one and four, toddlers go through a period of accelerated growth requiring a well-balanced diet of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals particularly iron, calcium, vitamins A,C and D.

Milk for children who are still growing up, such as SMA Progress Kids, provides all the necessary nutrients even through phases of fussy eating. It is specifically designed for toddlers aged one to four years, containing all the required nutrients where a 200mL serving provides up to 50% of the recommended daily allowance of the key nutrients; iron, zinc, Vitamins A, C and D as well as Omega 3 and 6. SMA Progress Kids contains significantly more iron than cow’s milk, thus eliminating the possibility of iron deficiency, to which children are extremely vulnerable due to their rapid growth and limited food intake.

Although by the age of one your children should be eating solids, milk is still needed to supply all the required nutrients; however parents must be careful not to fill their little tummies with too much milk, leaving them too full to eat solids.
