Stage 4: from 1 year +

Fae baby care advisor and mum

Toddlers are more socially aware and love joining in with family mealtimes but they have different nutritional needs to both babies and adults. It’s important to keep giving them a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet, and a wide variety of food will help them get the nutrients they need. Their food preferences become relatively fixed by two years of age and tend not to change until they’re about eight. If you have any questions, contact our team.

Our range of Toddler Balance meals are perfect for helping you give a balanced diet to your energetic, growing toddler. Just like grown-up dishes, but tailored for toddlers, there are 6 balanced meals with up to 7 vegetables per recipe to help your toddler accept a variety of tastes and textures. With chunky pieces, ideal for chewing, these ready-prepared dishes are taste-approved by mums and toddlers.

Keeping an eye on your baby's salt intake.

Savoury meals are an important part of your baby’s diet and, being `savoury`, they are more likely to
contain salt. Some of our baby and toddler savoury meals contain salt. This is because salt is found
naturally in some of the ingredients we use. But rest reassured: all our savoury meals are within
baby control standards and below the maximum level allowed by the EU (Directive 2006/125/EC).

To ensure that your baby’s daily salt intake stays within recommended levels, always check food
labels and remember, salt can also be listed as sodium.

At Cow & Gate we are committed to reducing the levels of salt in our savoury meals to an absolute
minimum over the coming months and help you get the best for your baby.  You can click here to see
which of our meals contain salt and how much.
