Calcium, Vitamin D and fats all work together to help your toddler attain optimal brain growth, grow healthy bones and skin and more. Fats help process Vitamin D, which is a fat-soluble vitamin, and in turn, it helps the body use calcium. For parents who choose not to feed their families dairy products or who have children with a milk allergy, getting all the nutrients that milk provides won't be as easy as getting your toddler to drink a couple of cups of milk each day or serving up a grilled cheese and some pizza.

But it's not impossible either. Learn what non-dairy foods your toddler should be eating to get more of these nutrients and get some tips on choosing foods that pack more punch and sneaking in the green, leafy veggies.

There is absolutely no problem with the actual medication in this recall, but there may be a problem with the packaging for families with young children. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission:

"The cold and flu medicine contains acetaminophen and is not in child-resistant packaging and lacks the statement, 'This Package for Households Without Young Children,' as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. This medicine could cause serious health problems or death to a child if several of the capsules are swallowed."

The Product being recalled is only the DayQuil Cold and Flu 24-Count Bonus Pack LiquiCaps which have been sold since Sept. 2008, with a UPC code of 3 23900 01087 1. Since that time, there have been no reports of injuries. Please make sure you keep this medication (as with all medications, of course) out of the reach of your toddler. If you bought this thinking it would be safe around your toddler, the company is offering a replacement coupon or refund which you can get by calling 800-251-3374.
