Nido

NIDO (also written 'Nido') is a range of powdered milks manufactured by Nestlé. The range claims to offer "nutrition solutions for each stage of childhood".

About

The different varieties include instant dried whole, rather than skimmed or semi-skimmed, milk with Vitamins A & D, and are a good source of calcium. Products described on the nestlenido.com Web site include Nido Fortificada (fortified) and a non-fat version, Nido 1+, fortified also with prebiotic fibre for children beyond early babyhood. Whole milk has a creamier flavor, and more calories, than reduced-fat types.

Nestlé says that Nido products are not suitable for children of under 1 year of age. Although there is no age recommendation, marketing is featured around children over three years of age with the tagline "Nutritious Milk for Growing Kids". Nido is fortified with additional nutrients to those found in milk, and is said to contribute to over twenty essential ingredients a growing child needs.

Nido Fortificada contains: whole milk, soy lecithin, vitamins A (as acetate), C, and D3, iron (as ferric pyrophosphate), and zinc sulfate.
