Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in your child's growth and development. Incorporating specialized milk to support height growth into their diet can provide essential nutrients that support strong bones and faster growth.
Stunting is a significant issue among Filipino children, yet it often goes unnoticed. According to recent data, 3 in 10 Filipino children are stunted, and 2 out of 10 are at risk of stunting. Alarmingly, 2 out of 3 mothers do not recognize stunting in their children. Therefore it is important to take proactive steps in measuring the height of children and intervening early to help them catch-up on growth.
Specialized milk for height growth can play a crucial role in addressing and preventing stunting. These milk formulations are enriched with essential nutrients that support optimal growth and development, ensuring children reach their full height potential. By incorporating milk for height growth into your child's diet, you can help mitigate the risk of stunting and promote healthier and faster growth.
Did you know that your child’s height is a good indicator of nutrient intake? If your kid is short for his age, it may be due to a combination of factors affecting growth like:
- lack of proper nutrition
- not getting enough sleep
These may hinder your child from reaching his maximum growth potential. If your child is struggling because he’s smaller than his peers, he may have difficulty in keeping up with them when engaging in activities. But don’t worry, you can address this by promoting healthy habits at home. Start by giving your child the right nutrition with three balanced meals a day and PediaSure Plus®, a growth supplement milk.
PediaSure Plus® is scientifically formulated with 37 growth nutrients, including emerging growth nutrients, to help children at risk reach their full growth potential.
Unlike regular kids' milk, PediaSure Plus® provides comprehensive nutrition that supports 1.5x faster growth in 8 weeks (vs no nutritional supplementation; with three balanced meals and exercise). By incorporating this specialized milk for height growth into your child's diet, you can ensure they receive the essential nutrients needed to maximize their growth potential and achieve a healthier, taller stature.
