Enfamil Enfagrow Chocolate Powder Formula by Mead Johnson
From the product description for this toddler formula:
“Enfamil baby formula has undergone several significant changes since it was invented. Each change brings Enfamil baby formula nutritionally closer to breast milk…”
I didn’t realize moms produced chocolate!
This product appears to be aimed at parents of normal toddlers (12-36 months) who are picky eaters (all of them, right?)
As your child grows from an infant to a toddler, he’s probably becoming pickier about what he eats. Now more than ever, ensuring that he gets complete nutrition can be a challenge.
