NIDO® Tips on Probiotics and DHA for Kids

In this article, we’ll explore two key nutrients—probiotics, which help support digestion and immune health, and DHA, an omega-3 that supports brain development—plus simple ways to include them in your child’s everyday diet.

DHA, along with iron, helps support a child’s brain development while probiotics supports their immune system.

During your child’s first years, it is more important than ever that they eat nutritious foods to help keep them strong and healthy. Vitamins and minerals are a must, and there are specific nutrients that are beneficial to your little one’s well-being, like DHA and probiotics to help support a healthy digestion.

All of the nutrients and the probiotic in NIDO 1+ are part of a balanced diet  to support your child’s well-being.

Probiotics are living microorganisms that can provide health benefits such as helping to support digestion and should be considered as part of your child’s healthy diet.

Dairy products like refrigerated yogurts, as well as NIDO 1+, are tasty choices that contain probiotics your child can enjoy and you can feel confident they are getting the nutrition they need.

This omega-3 fatty acid that is most commonly found in oily fish, is extremely beneficial during your little one’s first years and can easily be incorporated into their diet through other DHA-fortified foods such as eggs and milk. "NIDO 1+ has 19mg DHA as well as 35% DV of iron to help support brain development.

Throughout this stage of development, your child's growth benefits from a healthy routine, which not only includes playtime and a regular sleep and nap schedule, but also a balanced diet.

Regular meals and snacks play a key role in your child’s growth and development. By adding sources of DHA, iron and probiotics, to their diet you're providing their body with nutrients for brain development, immune system and digestion support in a way they'll happily enjoy.
