Parenting comes with plenty of questions—especially around daily nutrition. NIDO helps support your child’s growth with milk beverages designed for different developmental stages.

Below, you’ll find age-by-age guidance, simple development activities, and a quick overview of the NIDO range so you can choose a product that fits your child’s needs (always follow your pediatrician’s advice).

Activities for Development (By Age)

1 to 2 years old

During this foundational stage, you can introduce NIDO 1+ as part of a balanced diet to help support your toddler’s nutrition as they explore new foods, routines, and emotions.

Encourage early language and motor skills with simple activities like interactive storytelling, naming colors and objects, stacking blocks, and supervised messy play.

2 to 3 years old

Support your active 2–3-year-old with routines that balance play, learning, and nutrition. Consider NIDO Yogu 1+ for convenient, on-the-go support that fits busy days. Build thinking skills with age-appropriate puzzles, shape sorters, matching games, and pretend play that encourages problem-solving and communication.

4+ years old

As your child grows more independent and engages with peers and teachers, NIDO Fortificada can help support their daily nutrition. Encourage focus and confidence with educational games, simple science activities, reading time, and collaborative play—great ways to support attention span and a love of learning.

Supporting Childhood Development with Everyday Nutrition

In every stage of childhood, nutrition and learning routines work best together. NIDO is designed to complement a balanced diet by providing nutritional support that can help children meet everyday needs as they work toward key developmental milestones. For personalized guidance, consult your pediatrician.

FAQs

Which NIDO product is right for my child’s age?

Use the age label as a starting point (for example, NIDO 1+ for toddlers 1+, NIDO 3+ for kids 3+, and NIDO Fortificada for 4+). If you have questions about your child’s specific needs, your pediatrician can help you choose the best option.

Is NIDO a meal replacement?

No. NIDO is designed to complement a balanced diet. For most children, meals and snacks with a variety of food groups are still important for overall nutrition.

What are simple daily activities that support development?

Keep it simple: read together, talk through routines, play with blocks, do puzzles, and encourage pretend play. Short, consistent activities (even 10–15 minutes) can support language, motor skills, and problem-solving over time.

When should I talk to a pediatrician about nutrition?

Check in if you’re concerned about growth, appetite changes, food restrictions, allergies/intolerances, or if you’re unsure how to balance nutrients for your child’s age. Your pediatrician can offer guidance tailored to your child.

How can I make nutrition routines easier for busy days?

Plan simple staples (fruit, yogurt, whole grains, proteins), keep healthy snacks available, and build consistent meal and snack times. For on-the-go moments, choose convenient options that fit your child’s age and your family’s routine.
