Each stage of our child’s life needs specific nutrients to help them grow, and the habits established in childhood can last a lifetime. We have a wonderful opportunity to have a positive impact on our child’s health!
Knowing the critical nutrients specific to each stage of development helps us capitalize on our child’s growth potential. Knowing age-appropriate, effective feeding practices enables us to nurture a life-long healthy relationship with food.
