A glass of milk a day

One of the key foods in a child's diet is milk. 1 to 2 glasses (between 250 to 500 ml) of milk¹ – that's what each child should drink each day as part of a well-balanced diet! A glass of milk is an easy and nourishing beverage on its own or to complement any snack you may put together.

Make every sip count with growing up milk powders. These contain protein, calcium and more added nutrients such as vitamin D and iron, which can contribute to your child’s balanced diet.

Encourage kids to be active

Children are practically pre-programmed to play. Running, jumping, bending, rolling and all the wiggly and fidgety movements of your little school-going kid play a part to help make muscles firm, joints flexible and bones strong.

Working the muscles also helps build them up and amino acids from protein-foods in the diet including formula milk, are building blocks of muscle proteins.

To stay alert and active kids need wholesome nourishment. Just before an outing, like a visit to the zoo, give your kids a snack and a glass of formula milk to help them stay energised to learn and discover, and to prevent hunger pangs. A glass of formula milk is an easy and nourishing beverage that complements any snack you put together.

Get adequate rest

Most kids need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep per night. Sleep gives growing bodies the rest they need to continue growing properly. Sleep also helps kids sort and store memories, and even solve some problems.

You may have heard that a glass of warm milk before bedtime may soothe kids into slumber land. While the jury is still out on this old wives’ tale, that daily glass of formula milk for your kids can still help, thanks to the nutritional benefits it brings!
