Dutch Lady Malaysia held an event this morning with a paediatric expert and local mothers, including TV host, actress and new mom, Scha Alyahya to discuss the importance of mother’s nurturing guidance and tailored nutrition to support a child’s overall development from 1 to over 6 years old.

Titled “Dutch Lady & Mom, Step by Step Together”, the event highlighted through interactive activities how mothers can correspond their guidance to the various developmental milestones and nutritional needs of their children to help them optimize their learning and development.

Dutch Lady 4-Step Nutri-Plan with 5X DHA* is a nutrition programme for children 1 to 6 years of age that continuously supports a child’s developmental milestones and learning. In general, children go through 4 different smart milestones in their developmental journey. Dutch Lady 4-Step Nutri-Plan with 5X DHA* offers a total nutrition programme, formulated with tailored nutrients to support each milestone and mothers are encouraged to guide their children according to the milestones.

CURIOUS (1-2 years old) – At ages one to two, children’s curiosity begins to grow. They start observing, grasping, playing and probing. An important requirement for these activities is vision. They need nutrients such as Inositol, Taurine and Vitamin A to support their visual development.

EXPLORE (2-4 years old) – At ages 2 to 4, children become more active and start exploring their surroundings. They begin to understand why things are the way they are by tasting and touching them again and again which challenges their natural body resistance. They need nutrition such as Selenium and Zinc that helps support their immunity and prevent them from falling ill.

CREATE (4-6 years old) – At ages 4 to 6, children become more creative and imaginative. They begin to use creativity as a form of problem solving, which requires adaptability and flexibility of thought. Nutrients such as Tyrosine, Choline and Vitamin D help to support flexible thinking in their brain function.

LEARN (6 years and above) – At ages 6 years and above, focus and good memory skills are important for children at school. They begin to learn important social and verbal skills and they also require focus and memory skills to help them learn. Magnesium is an important nutrient to support a child’s memory skills.
