Horizon Milk for Kids: The Perfect Transition

As your child begins to develop their dexterity skills, it's the perfect time to introduce them to whole cow's milk. This milestone marks a significant transition from breastmilk or infant formula to a more substantial beverage that will provide essential nutrients for growth and development.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends 16 ounces of whole milk per day, with no more than 24 ounces consumed daily. Whole milk can be incorporated into snacks or meals, but it's crucial not to displace other vital nutrients. Children younger than 24 months should only consume whole milk, as its higher fat content is essential for young children.

When introducing whole cow's milk, you may need to ease your child into the taste by combining it with breastmilk or infant formula. Growing Years Organic Whole Milk, developed with pediatricians, contains all the nutrients of whole milk plus added benefits like choline, DHA Omega-3, prebiotics, and high levels of vitamin D.

Whole milk, also known as 4% fat milk, offers a rich source of high-quality protein, vitamin D, calcium, and essential fats that serve as an energy source for rapidly growing brains. By their first birthday, children have likely tried various foods and can now be introduced to whole cow's milk according to the AAP guidelines.

After 12 months, nutrition continues to play a vital role in your child's growth and development. Horizon Milk is here to support you and your child through this transition with its organic whole milk formula. By choosing Horizon Milk for Kids, you're providing your little one with the best possible start in life.
