The biggest laughs come from the belly.  

At Karicare Toddler, we have happily supported generations of families and know what their little ones need to thrive. That’s why we bring Gentle Nutrition to support tiny tummies. 

 

Karicare & Nutricia: Backed by a world leader

We know that not every mother is able – nor chooses – to solely breastfeed her baby. Karicare products are backed by the findings of Nutricia, who have invested more than forty years of research in the field of early life nutrition. You can be rest assured all of our products have benefited from this work.

 

MAIF & the Infant Nutrition Council

Karicare is a voluntary signatory of the Marketing in Australia of Infant Formula (MAIF)  Agreement, meaning we’re committed to the provision of safe and adequate nutrition for infants by the protection and promotion of breastfeeding and by ensuring the proper use of infant formula, when they are necessary, on the basis of adequate information. For this reason, you’ll see we advocate that ‘breast is best’ when it comes to feeding your child. We’re also members of the Infant Nutrition Council, an industry body committed to supporting breastfeeding and, when appropriate, infant formula.
