Pediatricians are warning that common 'toddler milks' are promoted with unproven claims that they boos kids' brains and immune systems.
The drinks promoted for older babies and children up to age 3 often contain added sugar and salt, the American Academy of Pediatrics warnedPowdered drink mixes that are widely promoted as “toddler milks” for older babies and children up to age 3 are unregulated, unnecessary and “nutritionally incomplete,” the American Academy of Pediatrics warned Friday.
The powdered milk mixes are sold in cans and made to be mixed with water. They are often produced by the makers of top brands of infant formulas, packaged with similar labels and sold in the same store aisles. Most contain added sugar and are targeted toward children who are at the age when they could develop a lasting taste for sweets, possibly leading to obesity and other diseases.
Fleming-Milici said companies promote these products in a way that may lead parents to believe the drinks are nutritionally necessary.
