Healthy Growth
How a baby is fed may be as important as what foods are offered. Your baby is growing in leaps and bounds. The first year, a baby multiplies his weight by 3 and his size increases by 50%!
Every baby has his own growth rate. This is why it is recommended to note his weight and size every month during his first 3 years.
Follow your baby’s evolution with our developmental milestones.
Babies and toddlers are known to successfully self-regulate the amount of daily energy that they eat, however, this natural ability can be influenced by a parents’ feeding practices.
