Your baby’s brain development
Babies are born explorers. Almost from the moment they are born, they’re on a mission to learn. Their brains are wonderful little sponges eager to soak up all the exciting new stuff that life has to teach them. There’s a great big world out there and they are going to find out about it.
Did you know that - 75% of brain development occurs within the first years of life?
Between six and twelve months, a child’s capacity to learn will have increased massively. As a parent you can help encourage this development by providing them with loads of love, care and attention. Also by playing games together, games that will stimulate their senses and give them the practice of getting things wrong, then right, then learning these lessons.
Omega-3 and your child
Obviously, nothing beats your love, help and stimulation to encourage your child’s amazing learning curve, but a regular supply of the Omega-3 essential fatty acid DHA is known to be an important building block of the brain. Even during pregnancy, the foetus demands Omega-3 in quite high quantities, which can result in the mother’s supply of Omega-3 being depleted. Therefore sufficient levels of Omega-3 in the pregnant mother’s diet are important.
Once born, your child may benefit from the inclusion of Omega-3 in their diet. Omega-3 may help support your growing child's healthy brain function. Haliborange Kids Omega-3 may help maintain healthy brain function and contains vitamins A C D & E to help maintain healthy growth, healthy skin & eyes and a healthy immune system.
How to get the good stuff inside them
Getting young children to eat oily fish is sometimes impossible. Let’s face it, babies and toddlers can be fussy at the best of times. That’s where supplements really can help. From 6 months onwards, ‘Haliborange Baby and Toddler Omega-3’ is an easy way to ensure your little one is getting their Omega-3.

Between ages 1 – 3 years - don’t go overboard on high-fibre food such as wholemeal pasta – young stomachs can’t process fibre as easily as adults which can affect your little one’s mineral absorption.
At 1 year old – your child can eat pretty much the same food as you, but prepare yourself for them being fussy and inconsistent when it comes to what they like.
To help a 1-3 year old get their calcium - the Dairy Council recommends three servings of full fat milk or other dairy produce a day [like a beaker of milk, a yoghurt or grated cheese on pasta].
