Little Étoile Stage 3 Formula: Nourishing Toddler Milk for Growing Stars!

22 Shares

Toddlers are a bundle of energy, shooting from activity to activity and leaving a trail of chaos behind them. To keep them firing from sun up to sun down, with a nap in between, it’s important to fuel them with the nutrients they need.

But, of course, toddlers don’t tend to agree with this. Why stop playing to eat weird orange sticks and little green trees that smell like farts? This is why Stage 3 formula toddler milk is so important. It’s the ideal way to fill in the nutritional gaps for toddlers and preschoolers to ensure they get what they need, even if they refuse to eat anything that isn’t shaped like a dinosaur.

Award-Winning Best Formula Milk in Australia

Stage 3 formulas are specially formulated for toddlers, generally from 12 to 36 months old. These are meant to complement a toddler’s diet as they transition to a more varied diet that includes solid foods.

There are several toddler milk choices out there but none have the high standard and accolades that the Little Étoile range does. Little Étoile, meaning little star in French, is a trusted Australian company with over 20 years of scientific and pharmaceutical expertise. Known for its commitment to quality and innovation, Little Étoile offers a range of products designed to support children’s growth and well-being.

Under the Little Étoile umbrella, you’ll find Little Étoile Organic, offering nutritious organic baby food; Little Étoile Nutrition, providing baby, toddler, and growing-up formulas; and Little Étoile Care, a range of gentle topical care products for babies and kids.

The Little Étoile team is made up of PHD medical and pharmaceutical scientists, nutritionists, dietitians, mums and dads. They invest heavily in rigorous quality control processes, additional testing, quality ingredient sourcing, and meticulous formulations.

The team go beyond industry standards to ensure safety and quality with additional voluntary testing. Every batch is tested for 3-MCPD and GE which many other companies don’t do. 3-MCPD or monochloropropane is a chemical compound formed during the formula manufacturing process which can have negative health impacts.

All of this means that you can rest assured knowing every single batch of their Stage 3 Formula is safe, nutritious and delicious.

What’s in Little Étoile Nutrition Premium Toddler Stage 3 Formula?

While Little Étoile Nutrition Premium Toddler Stage 3 Formula is free of anything harmful, it’s packed with extra nutrition that toddlers need.

Made with Australian Grass Fed Cow’s Milk

There are so many pluses to using Australian grass-fed cow’s milk.

  • Grass-fed cows typically produce milk with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed cows.
  • Grass-fed milk often contains higher levels of CLA, a type of fat that may have antioxidant properties.
  • Grass-fed milk is also usually richer in certain vitamins, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Beta-Carotene, which come from a cow’s natural diet of fresh grass.

Opting for Australian grass-fed cow’s milk is also beneficial to the cows as they are free to roam on grass pastures instead of being confined indoors and fed a diet of grains and by-products. Happy cows = better quality milk.

Special Ingredients for Toddler Star Power

Every tin of Little Étoile Nutrition Premium Toddler Stage 3 Formula is scientifically formulated with nearly 40 key nutrients to target each important aspect of infant and children’s health and development.

Let’s take a look at some of these key nutrients:

  • Wellmune® Beta-Glucan to boost immune response and protect against those nasty daycare bugs.
  • Lactoferrin, which is naturally found in breast milk, supports overall health. It’s always a good idea to look for lactoferrin milk when making the switch to toddler milk.
  • GOS Prebiotics promotes a healthy digestive system and supports happy tummies and gut health.
  • Lutein, an antioxidant that protects the delicate parts of the eyes, helps to filter out the harmful effects of blue light (eg from screens such as smartphones or tablets).
  • Omega-3 DHA/EPA for brain development. DHA is a critical nutrient needed to lay down grey matter in the brain.
