Infant & toddler nutrition

The first 1,000 days of an infant’s life, from conception until their second birthday, are key to determining their lifelong health. This is when environmental factors – such as nutrition – can influence rapidly developing organs and body systems. By making the right nutritional choices from conception to toddlerhood, mothers can make a significant difference to their children’s long term health.
