Powdered drink mixes that are promoted as 'toddler milks' for older babies and children up to 3 are 'nutritionally incomplete,' a major pediatrician group said.
FILE - A can of toddler nutritional drink sits on a shelf in a grocery store in Surfside, Fla., on Friday, June 17, 2022.
There are no federal regulations governing milk drink mixes for older babies and toddlers. Also, toddler drinks are different than medical formulas prescribed for specific conditions, such as heart disease or problems digesting certain foods.Fuchs and other experts point to the lack of common standards for toddler milks, which means the ingredients vary widely among brands.
Fleming-Milici said companies promote these products in a way that may lead parents to believe the drinks are nutritionally necessary.
