Toddlers
Your toddler, stage by stage
12 -24 months
Between 12 and 24 months old, toddlers develop in fascinating, exciting and surprising ways.
Physically, socially, emotionally and verbally, they are becoming more independent and able to express their budding personality. Accompany breastfeeding with a healthy, balanced diet that supports this development and provides the nutrients they need to learn and grow. Learn about the importance of certain nutrients at this stage, and why playing is an invaluable stepping stone to all future learning.
25 - 36 months

A steady supply of nutrients throughout this stage will help to fuel their learning and provide the energy they need to stay active and alert. Learn which nutrients are important at this time and how to ensure they get enough, even when they’re going through a fussy phase.
