Dr Rob Hicks and Yoplait registered dietitian Elphee Medici offers exclusive advice on nutrition for your grandchild

Parents these days just seem more confused than ever. With more information on nutrition being given to us than ever before, it can be overwhelming and difficult making sure they're getting the right messages. While getting children to eat 5 portions of fruit and veg every day is important it's not the only factor to consider when it comes to a child's diet. Research by Petits Filous shows that 9 out of 10 parents think their child is getting enough calcium, but parents are unclear how much calcium children actually need. 74% of parents wrongly believing that 2 portions of dairy a day offers sufficient calcium for their child when in fact at least 3 portions of dairy every day will meet calcium needs to help develop strong bones.

If you're worried about whether or not your grandchild is getting enough calcium, click below to watch an exclusive video hosted by Dr Rob Hicks and Yoplait registered dietitian Elphee Medici. They will talk you through ways of making sure children get enough bone building calcium in their diet, explaining which foods are good sources of calcium and how easy it is to meet all your grandchild's daily calcium needs through three portions of dairy every day. As well as all this Dr Rob Hicks will also be explaining the benefits of ensuring they get plenty of calcium in their early years as well as hints and tips to help them develop strong healthy bones.

So help your own child out by making sure they get the right messages and don't forget their child's daily calcium needs.
