In the early years, children grow exceptionally fast. During their first year, they grow quicker than they ever will again, and at the age of three, they are still gaining about eight grams every day. Their body gets bigger as their organs strengthen. Meanwhile, their mental and physical abilities are developing steadily.

Growing toddlers are not always the greatest eaters. Yet to feed their developing bodies, they need up to six times more nutrients than adults per kilo body weight.

But a toddler’s stomach is up to five times smaller than an adult’s. So every meal must contain the essential nutrients in the right quantities.

Cow’s milk is fine for older children and adults but at daily recommended volumes of 400-500ml, it does not contain the amounts of nutrients a toddler needs.

Aptamil 3 with Pronutra+ supports brain development and contributes to a healthy immune system. It is ideal for one-year olds. Aptamil 4 with Pronutra+ is recommended for children after their second birthday.
