With the first birthday your baby has become a toddler. The rapid physical and cognitive development that your baby has undergone over the past year continues just as rapidly into infancy. Because at the age of 1 to 3 years, the child’s organism achieves great things. Your little one’s physical and mental development is in full swing: learning to walk, say the first words and understand connections. There are so many new things to explore on the playground, in the forest or while playing in the garden. To do this, small children need up to 7 times more important nutrients per kilogram of body weight than adults every day. You can find out here how special children’s milk as part of a varied and balanced diet can help to cover your child’s nutritional needs.

The advantages in detail

Aptamil children’s milk supports the immune system and bones

Your toddler’s immune system has a lot to do to keep up with the exciting everyday life of your little researcher. That’s why it can be helpful to support your child’s immune system. Your toddler needs vitamin D for a healthy immune system and normal bone development. Although the body can produce this important vitamin on its own, it needs sunlight to do so. This is particularly difficult in the cold season, because the number of hours of sunshine in Germany is limited in autumn and winter. A suboptimal vitamin D supply in the dark season affects not only many children, but also adults. Some foods, such as fish and eggs (recommended once a week for young children), mushrooms, or avocado, provide a dose of vitamin D. However, recent studies show that that an adequate supply through food is not always guaranteed. Aptamil children’s milk 1+ (from 1 year) and 2+ (from 2 years) contain the so-called sun vitamin and can improve the supply of vitamin D in addition to a balanced diet. Also important for the normal function of the immune system: vitamin C and vitamin A. That is why these two vitamins are also contained in children’s milk in amounts appropriate to the age. Aptamil children’s milk is tailored to the special nutritional needs of children between the ages of 1 and 3 years. Also important for the normal function of the immune system: vitamin C and vitamin A. That is why these two vitamins are also contained in children’s milk in amounts appropriate to the age. Aptamil children’s milk is tailored to the special nutritional needs of children between the ages of 1 and 3 years. Also important for the normal function of the immune system: vitamin C and vitamin A. That is why these two vitamins are also contained in children’s milk in amounts appropriate to the age. Aptamil children’s milk is tailored to the special nutritional needs of children between the ages of 1 and 3 years.

Children’s milk contains calcium for the bones

Calcium is one of the most important nutrients when it comes to healthy bone development. Adequate intake of calcium is therefore particularly important during growth phases. The German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends 600 mg of calcium per day for children between 1 and 4 years of age.

Age-appropriate reduced protein content

Protein is an important part of a young child’s diet. However, there is evidence that too much protein in young children can lead to obesity in the long term. Because obesity is considered a risk factor for some diseases, a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle with sufficient exercise are important. As part of a balanced diet, children’s milk with its age-appropriate protein content can make a valuable contribution here.

Iodine for the thyroid

The thyroid secretes vital hormones. To produce these hormones, she needs iodine. According to the study on the health of children and adolescents in Germany (KIGGS), 49% of children aged 0-2 years are not sufficiently supplied with iodine. ² Eating foods containing iodine can help here. With fish and seafood, iodine comes onto the plate and into the body. Aptamil children’s milk also contains iodine and thus supports normal thyroid function.

When and how often can children’s milk be given?

Nutrition experts recommend around 300 ml of milk and milk products, divided into 3 portions per day, for the little ones. With children’s milk you can make an important contribution to a balanced diet. Children’s milk can be served with main meals or snacks. If the children’s milk is offered for breakfast in the morning, it will help your little one to start an exciting day. Because it is very diverse, it can either be served as a milk drink with food or you can integrate the children’s milk directly into the meal. It’s very easy at breakfast, for example: a cup of our Aptamil children’s milk 1+ (from 1 year) and 2 + (from 2 years) goes well with the sandwich and fruit plate. You can find out how much children’s milk is optimal for which age from the information on the packaging. Children’s milk prepares your darling for a day full of adventures in the morning. Does your child prefer muesli or porridge? Great, then pour a glass of children’s milk over it. But our children’s milk is not only great for breakfast, it is also ideal as an afternoon snack or for dinner.

Important NOTE!

Children’s milk is a milk drink and not a meal!

The powder for mixing is ideal when traveling as it is easy to take with you. This way, your toddler can keep up his familiar evening ritual when you are out and about and can drink his beloved mug of warm milk before going to bed. Incidentally, our Aptamil children’s milk is also available ready-to-drink, ideal for days when things have to go faster. As soon as the pack is opened, the ready-to-drink children’s milk belongs in the refrigerator.
