DHA in a Toddler’s Diet + A Giveaway

Shocker: My kid is a picky eater. However, this post is sponsored by Enfagrow

My toddler like most toddlers is quite the picky eater. Sometimes he wants all the food in the world and other times he picks at his food refusing to take a bite. Meanwhile the food that he doesn’t want is usually something that he LOVES any other day. It’s so frustrating!

As I learned with my eldest child, there is no forcing when it comes to eating their meals. I could bribe, threaten, sweet talk all I want but if they didn’t feel like eating that day? Guess what? It’s not happening!

Worried about how much nutrition they are actually getting (you know on the days when they are not tearing the house apart looking for food), I got the opportunity to try Enfagrow, which is a tasty (yes I tried it myself) supplement for toddlers that help nourish healthy brain development. We all know how important DHA is for our kids from birth because 85% of brain growth happens in the child’s first three years of life.

When I first approached the toddler with the drink, he asked me if it was milk. I said “almost”. He gave me a sly look and gave it a little taste. Judging by the look on his face he was happy—at least for today. Then of course his brother wanted some because neither one of them can do anything independently of one another, the jury was in. They liked it!

Enfagrow has several products to help your toddler get DHA daily. Most DHA is found in fatty fishes and I don’t know about your toddler but my little guy runs away from fish, the only time he has it is when his grandpa is eating it. (Weird, I know. But toddlers are weird!!)

Enfagrow is sold in a powder or in ready to drink boxes, we were able to try the powder this time but next time I will buy the ready to drink boxes to save time.

You can win a can of enfagrow for your little one, just leave a comment and say “I want to try Enfagrow!” to win!
