Sweet excess: How the baby food Industry hooks toddlers on sugor, salt and fat
children should be drinking only breast milk or, if necessary, infant formula until a baby is 6 months old, with
Leading health organizations recently released their first consensus recommendations about what young
water introduced around then and plain cow's milk at around their first birthday
The good news is parents of infonts seem to be on the right trock - breast-feeding is on the rise. But once
children get into the toddler zone, it's pandemonium.
There's been a boom in unhealthy foods and beverages for children 6 months to 3 years old, packaged for
convenience and often promising to make children stronger and smarter
Dietary supplements said to boost the immune system. Squeezy pouches boasting three grams of protein
and three grams of fiber Oven-baked stone-ground wheat wafflez superfood putfs and a bathing array of
toddler milks purported to aid brain and eye development.
Billy Roberts, senior analyst of food and drink at market research firm Mintel, says that there were four times
more product lounches in the baby and toddler food aisle in 2018 than in 2005, with a huge surge in new
toddler foods and drinks, most of which are extremely high in sugar
What's driving this surge? Experts point to several factors. Parents are demanding convenient, on-the-go
packaging. Industry's lust for market share has driven advertising aimed at parents of toddlers. And there's
been little nutritional guidance for new parents, who glean what they can from parenting chat rooms, family
lore and pediatricians, many of whom had only a single class on nutrition during medical school.
