Getting DHA Past the First Year #Enfagrow #AD

As a mom of three, I know how important proper nutrition can be for young kids.  I was thrilled to receive Enfagrow Toddler products for my youngest to try out as part of a sponsored post program.

Did you know the average toddler’s diet lacks DHA?  Do you know what DHA is?  As a mom of three, I admit I don’t really know what DHA is other than its important and usually is in baby formula.  Once your child outgrows baby formula, do they not need DHA anymore?  DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid and a key building block for the brain.  With 85% of brain growth happens the first three years of a child’s life, its important to maintain the recommended levels of DHA well through the toddler years.  You may think you can make up the nutrition gap of DHA with various foods but the food options that naturally have DHA are limited.  DHA is mostly found in foods such as fatty fishes, which many toddlers (mine included) don’t eat.

I admit with my first son I kept him on formula through two years old. He used a regular formula through age 1 and then for the next year I used a toddler formula. I had no clue how important DHA actually is but it makes sense that kids would need it. With my second son, he was a great eater and I thought I had the whole DHA-thing covered. Then I had my third child and I have been lucky to get any healthy food in her. She eats what her brothers eat, which is not always the best. The one thing I can get her to do is drink whatever I put in her sippy cup. With Enfagrow I can feel good that she is at least drinking the nutrients and DHA she needs and not worry about wasting it. Being the third child she needs all the help she can get!

In comes Enfagrow to help parents close the nutrition gap of DHA and help toddlers get DHA in their diet every day. Enfagrow has a line of toddler drinks that haven DHA and are nutritionally tailored for toddlers ages 1 to 3 years old. Not only does Enfagrow have DHA but it also has important nutrients like calcium, vitamin D and iron for healthy growth and a prebiotics blend to support digestive health.

Enfagrow is sold in a powder or convenient ready-to-drink boxes. Want to learn more about the benefits of DHA in your toddler’s diet? Check out the Enfagrow website.
