MILESTONE SYMBOLS™
We've made understanding your child's nutrition simpler. Start by selecting one of the distinctive color-coded icons that we call 'Milestone Symbols™'. Each Milestone Symbol is associated with specific cues that reflect your child's current stage of development-Birth, Supported Sitter, Sitter, Crawler, Toddler, or Preschooler. There's also a Pregnancy Milestone Symbol to indicate information especially for the mom-to-be.
