Balanced Nutrition for older babies, 9 to 24 months

Now that your older baby is eating more table food, it can be hard to tell if she is getting enough nutrition. Data from a food survey* has shown that many older babies aren't getting the recommended amount† of key nutrients necessary for strong growth.

 

  • 20% of older babies aren't getting the recommended amount of Calcium

  • 26% aren't getting enough Iron

  • More than 75% aren't getting enough Vitamin E

 

* NHANES 1999-2000 Survey by the NIH/CDC.
† Proportion of toddlers aged 1 to 2 years old who are not meeting 100% of the currently recommended DRI (1997-2002).

 

 

Similac Go & Grow helps bridge the nutritional gaps.

 

As an addition to your older baby's diet of table food and milk, Similac Go & Grow can help ensure your baby is getting the nutrition she needs.
