Milk Powder for a 2-Year-Old
At this age, the focus should be on balanced nutrition, and milk powder can complement her diet if needed:
Options for Milk Powder:
1. Toddler Formula Milk:
These are specially formulated for toddlers aged 1–3 years and enriched with:
Iron (to prevent anemia).
Calcium and Vitamin D (for bone health).
DHA and other nutrients for brain development.
Examples:
Similac Go & Grow.
Aptamil Stage 3.
Enfamil A+ Toddler.
2. Full Cream Powdered Milk (If formula is not preferred):
Nido Fortified Full Cream Milk Powder.
Amulya or Everyday Full Cream Milk Powder (in India).
Ensure the milk is mixed with clean, boiled, and cooled water.
3. Plant-Based Options (for allergies/lactose intolerance):
Soy, almond, or oat-based toddler formula powders.
How to Prepare:
1. Use clean, sterilized utensils for preparation.
2. Follow the package instructions for the right powder-to-water ratio.
3. Offer 1–2 cups (around 400–500 ml) per day as part of a balanced diet
Dietary Considerations for a 2-Year-Old:
Milk should not exceed 500 ml/day to avoid reducing appetite for solid foods.
Ensure a mix of vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein in her diet.
Introduce cow’s milk (boiled and cooled) if she tolerates it well
