Make every milestone matter
The milestone moments from birth to childhood are hallmarks of an infant’s growth and development.1
• First smile
• Can hold head up
• Sit without support
• Knows familiar faces from strangers
• Says first word
• Takes first steps
• Does Puzzles with 3 or 4 places
• Shows affection for friends
• Swings and climbs
• Liks to sing, dance and act
At every milestone, children show progress in cognitive, language, physical, and socio-emotional domains. Developing infants’ social smarts is critical to these development domains as it helps guide social interaction, learning, understanding other people’s emotions, and acquisition of language.2-5
Nutrient deficiency in Toddlers
As children grow and acquire skills that enable them to eat independently, they may be missing out on essential nutrients from their diet. Here are some of the vitamins and the recommended intake from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).9
Vitamin D and Calcium is an essential vitamin for bone growth and bone mass acquisition. Recommended daily intake for children 1-3 years of age is 600 IU. 9
Recommended daily intake for children one to three years of age is 700 mg.9
Iron deficiency in children may cause alterations of cognitive, motor, and behavioral performance.10
Iron supplementation (1 mg per kg per day) starting at four months of age for exclusively breastfed infants until iron-rich foods are introduced.
AAP recommend screening for anemia between the ages of 9 to 12 months with additional screening between the ages of 1 and 5 years.11
