The website growingupmilkinfo.com recently conducted a ‘Toddler Cenus’.
The ‘Census’ was commissioned by growingupmilkinfo.com, a website for parents seeking information about toddler nutrition and the role of Growing Up Milk within a healthy, balanced diet.
The results were shocking to read. Here is a few of the parts I found personaly shocking:
eight out of ten parents questioned were unaware that toddlers have different nutritional needs to the rest of the family.
29 per cent of toddlers eat a takeaway once a week and that 81% of toddlers are regularly given ready-made adults foods likely to be high in fat, sugar and salt
and another one which sent shivers down my spine was:
One in 100 parents say they’ve never cooked a meal for their child
which leads me to wonder what the hell their child is being fed!! I can only hope that they live with someone else who does all the cooking!!
As a parent it is our responsibility to ensure that our little one-ders get the nutrients that they need, so they can grow up to be healthy and active children.
Cow & Gate have created a Growing up Milk for children aged 1-3. Growing Up Milk is made from cows’ milk, enriched with the key nutrients toddlers need, like vitamins A, C and D, iron, calcium and omega 3 & 6. It is an easy way to give toddlers the extra nutrients that experts say they need to support a healthy balanced diet, in a familiar way.
