The right source of nutrition for your baby's comprehensive brain development
When children reach preschool age, start going to school, and participate in more outdoor activities, mothers often prepare 2-3 boxes of milk for their children every day to provide more nutrients for them. However, mothers today often choose milk based on their emotions and their children's preferences without really paying attention to the nutritional ingredients in the milk. According to nutrition experts, mothers need to choose the right type of milk for their children with the nutrients that meet their developmental needs.
1. During the first 6 years of life, a continuous source of nutrition is essential for the comprehensive brain development of your baby.
According to scientific studies, the baby's brain develops rapidly right from the womb. At birth, the baby's brain is 25% of the weight of an adult's brain and nearly 100% when the baby is 6 years old. Therefore, the first 6 years of life are the "golden period" for your baby's brain development. Therefore, between the ages of 2 and 6, in addition to providing nutrition for physical development, the baby also needs to be supplemented by the mother with essential nutrients for comprehensive brain development in 4 key aspects: Intelligence, Movement, Communication and Emotion.
2. Choose the right milk for better brain development from the beginning of your baby
Mothers need to understand that not all liquid milks are the same in terms of nutritional components. To meet the continuous nutritional needs of the baby's brain in the first 6 years of life, mothers need to choose for their baby a type of brain milk in the form of premixed powdered milk containing the following outstanding nutrients:
a. DHA:Children need DHA for brain development – especially during the golden period of the first six years of life. DHA is an important component in brain structure, accounting for 25% of the dry weight of the brain, concentrated mainly in the frontal part of the brain, which controls brain functions including control and management of cognitive processes from planning, memorization, and attention. DHA also contributes to the growth and connection of nerve cells, helping the information transmission process to be effective.

b. Iron:Iron is very important for brain function and physical development. The most important role of Iron is to form hemoglobin together with Protein to transport oxygen. Many studies show that a deficiency of this mineral can lead to defects in thinking and movement in children. Currently, the composition of regular fresh milk does not contain Iron, so mothers need to be more careful in choosing milk to help their children develop comprehensively.
c. Vitamins and minerals:Vitamins and minerals are one of the four essential nutrient groups that help children become smart and develop healthy bodies. Supplementing this group of nutrients with appropriate amounts for each age will help children develop both mentally and physically.
To maximize the comprehensive brain development process, the baby needs to be provided with brain-specific nutrients continuously, especially during the golden period of the first 6 years of life. Therefore, mothers need to choose for their baby a type of brain milk in the form of premixed powdered milk with superior nutrients such as DHA, Iron, Choline, Vitamin B12 and other essential nutrients... to continue the source of nutrition in the powdered milk that the baby is drinking at home.
