Nourishing futures: The challenges and significance of nutrition in toddlerhood
Understanding the Challenges of Toddler Nutrition
This webinar was derived from a live symposium presented at the 57th ESPGHAN Annual Meeting. Led by Prof. Berthold Koletzko, Professor of Pediatric Nutrition, the session examines the evolving nutritional needs of toddlers during a rapid phase of growth and development. It also addresses the gap between evidence-based recommendations and real-world feeding practices. In this video, Professor Koletzko highlights the significance of adequate nutrition in the first thousand days of life and its impact on long-term health, neurodevelopment, and growth. Key topics include nutrient gaps, iron deficiency, the role of young child formula, and the economic impact of early nutrition.
