Growing up formulas are fortified milk drinks aimed at toddlers and young children, usually from one year onwards. They add iron, vitamin D and other nutrients to ordinary milk, and they sit between infant formula and family food.

Precautions

A varied diet is what most healthy toddlers need, and these formulas are a supplement rather than a requirement. Too much milk of any kind fills a small stomach and can worsen iron deficiency by displacing solid food. Always prepare with safe boiled water, follow the scoop instructions exactly, and never over concentrate the mixture. Poor weight gain in a child needs a doctor rather than a change of tin.
