Stage 6 of 6 · 1–5 years

Toddler

From one to five years, children grow fast and learn every day. Regular clinic visits keep vaccines, growth checks and vitamin A on track, and are a good time to ask about anything that worries you.

In this stage

  • Family meals and healthy snacks for small children
  • Growth and development milestones
  • Vaccines, vitamin A and deworming
  • Common skin problems such as rashes and eczema
  • Keeping a curious toddler safe at home
