The different varieties include instant dried whole milk with Vitamins A & D, and Nido Kinder 1+. Nido is fortified with additional nutrients to those found in milk. Nido Kinder 1+ is non-fat powdered milk that is fortified with Prebio 1, a prebiotic fibre that benefits a child’s digestive system.[2] [3]
Nestlé says that Nido products are not suitable for children of under 1 year of age.[4] Although there is no age recommendation apart from the minimum age restriction of 1 year,[5] marketing is featured around children over three years of age with the tagline "Nutritious Milk for Growing Kids".
Nido Fortificada contains: whole milk, soy lecithin, vitamins A (as acetate), C, and D3, iron (as ferric pyrophosphate), and zinc sulfate.

Sugar Content in Low & Medium income countries
A report by Public Eye, a Swiss-based sustainability NGO, found that for Nestlé-brand breast milk substitutes such as Cerelac and Nido, a higher quantity of added sugar was found in low and medium-income countries.[9] Countries such as Indonesia were found to have added sugar contents of up to 6 grams per portion, while Switzerland itself had no added sugar for the same given wheat-based product.
