Stonyfield Farm Presents New YoToddler for Kids 1-3 Years
Completes Stonyfield’s YoBaby, YoToddler, YoKids organic yogurt family
Londonderry, NH—June 30, 2010—YoToddler, a new line that bridges the gap between yogurt especially for babies and ones for kids three years and up, has been introduced by Stonyfield Farm, the world’s leading organic yogurt company (www.stonyfield.com)
“Stonyfield's YoBaby, YoToddler and YoKids family of yogurts gives kids what they need, when they need it,” said Dr. William Sears, affectionately known as “America’s pediatrician” and now pictured on the YoToddler cup. He noted that toddlers are not babies. They’re in their “grow years” and need protein, iron and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid that helps brain development.
According to Dr. Sears, babies who seem to eat everything change into toddlers who can be picky eaters. “A child who's a good eater at 8 months might become a picky eater by 15 months," he explained. As a result, “mothers are more apprehensive about feeding their toddlers than feeding their babies."
To help, Dr. Sears developed “The Picky Eaters Guide.” Featuring 20 tips for pleasing the picky eater, the guide will be downloadable free at the Stonyfield website (www.stonyfield.com) starting July 1. Find out about good grazing, being a veggie vendor and other creative techniques for pleasing the picky eater.
Whole milk YoToddler comes in 4-cup single flavor packs with DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid needed for normal brain development) in both Apple with DHA & Iron, and Strawberry Banana with DHA. Like its predecessor, YoBaby Plus Fruit & Cereal, YoToddler combines fruit & cereal with the benefits mom wants (DHA, Iron) in a delicious organic yogurt that picky toddlers love.
YoToddler is certified organic, which means it is produced without the use of antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, or toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. There are no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, colors or flavors. It’s better for toddlers, family farmers and the planet. YoToddler is also kosher and features Stonyfield’s exclusive blend of six live active cultures.
Look for new YoToddler in 4-packs featuring Dr. Sears’ picture in natural foods stores and leading supermarkets starting in late July. Suggested retail price is $2.59 per pack.
