Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the nutritional needs of a toddler aged 3, focusing on adequate intake of fats, calcium, and vitamins essential for growth and development.
Recognize that whole milk is recommended for toddlers because it provides the necessary fats that support brain development and overall growth at this age.
Evaluate why baby formula is not appropriate for a 3-year-old, as it is designed for infants and may not meet the changing nutritional requirements of toddlers.
Consider why low-fat milk is generally not recommended for toddlers under 2 years old, and why whole milk is preferred until at least age 2 or 3 to ensure sufficient fat intake.
Exclude sugar-free soda as an option because it lacks essential nutrients and may contain artificial sweeteners or additives that are not suitable for toddlers.
