Gerber Smart Sips

I always pack a juice for my toddler before I leave the house. But sometimes I feel she is getting to much juice. So I was very happy to have the opportunity to try something new. Gerber Smart Sips sent my daughter some samples to try. They were an instant hit!

Here is some information about Smart Sips:

SMART SIPS is the all-new nutritious beverage that helps fill important nutrient gaps in your toddler’s diet.

Made with delicious and nutritious fat-free milk, SMART SIPS beverages are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fat for healthy growth and development. There’s no room for added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavors. And of course, we use milk produced without the use of added growth hormones or antibiotics.

Research shows that many toddlers don’t get enough iron, calcium, or vitamins D & E. In fact, 100% of toddlers have vitamins E intakes below the recommended level. Also, many toddlers eat too much saturated fat and not enough essential omega-3 fats*.

That’s why SMART SIPS beverages are packed with 15 essential vitamins and minerals and omega-3 fat** to support your toddler’s healthy growth and development.

*FITS, 2002**140mg omega-3 fat (alpha linolenic acid) per serving

Schiff Nutrition, the maker of Tiger's Milk bars, has been one of the most trusted and respected companies in the nutritional supplement industry for more than 70 years.

Infant Nutrition Blog Tour

A remarkable new website, InfantNutritionCenter.com, unveiling this Monday, October 19, will take us Moms on a unique and powerful visual journey through infant nutrition and development, with amazing visuals that reveal how proper nutrition shapes development and how individual nutrients affect the senses, bone formation, and the immune system of infants. Showcasing new data and 3-D images, the site lets you explore and learn the latest research findings through video, pictures, and graphics, in depth questions like why infant eyesight depends on getting enough DHA and what key nutrients contribute to the healthy growth of your child’s brain.

Developed as a resource for Moms, the website brings together information from leading health centers and researchers across the country to explain how nutrition is crucial to infant development. How can you make sure that your newborn gets the nutrients she needs to ensure healthy growth through her first birthday? How do you keep her stomach from getting upset? What should you, as an expectant Mom, eat to ensure that you stay healthy as your infant grows? What vitamins do you need if you’re breastfeeding to ensure that you’re passing along the right nutrients to your infant?

.

This site is truly amazing. The videos are very informative. I wish this site was around when I was pregnant. If you anyone that is pregnant, thinking about becoming pregnant or has an baby this site is highly recommended!

.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Mead Johnson. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
