On one hand, babies don’t stink like we do (who doesn’t love that new baby smell?!) so they don’t need to bathe as often. But diaper blowouts, spit-up, and baby food messes are all inevitable and can send you running to the bathtub with your little one.

Developed with pediatricians, Growing Years® Organic Whole Milk contains all the nutrients of whole milk plus it is fortified with choline, DHA Omega-3, prebiotics and is high in vitamin D.
