At first glance,
feeding a newborn baby is an elementary thing: pour and drink. Exaggerated greatly, but the essence is true. Nature has thought over what and how our children will eat, if not for one “but”. What if there’s nothing to feed? If there is no milk? There are many reasons for this, starting from the banal inexperience of a young mother, ending with the genetic characteristics of a woman. Progress comes to the rescue. There used to be “milk” mothers, goat or cow milk, although to be honest, donor centers exist where women share their milk with other people's babies, and there are those who feed their babies with diluted cow or goat milk. We will turn our attention to infant
formulas for newborns, whose rating we will compose in this article. We hope that this will help you understand the assortment and choose the best for your baby.
First, it is worth recalling that when choosing food for a child, you need to consult a doctor. Besides the fact that this person is medically competent and will give clear recommendations on the introduction of mixtures, the experience of a practicing doctor is much more extensive than that of mothers who give advice on playgrounds at home.
Only fifteen to twenty years ago there was not a great variety in our country, and the only infant formula for babies on the market was the well-known “Baby”. Now, diversity is simply scattering eyes. It is impossible to make a clear gradation based on the price or the manufacturer. The reason is commonplace - individual intolerance. A baby formula for newborns that is completely suitable for one child may be harmful to another.
The first gradation that you need to pay attention to is age restrictions. The fact is that at every age a child needs a different combination of protein-fat-carbohydrate. Therefore, mixtures with the number "1" are ideal for newborns up to six months, then you need to choose a mixture with the number "2", and from a year you can give a mixture with the number "3". There are exceptions to this gradation, which, of course, will be reported by the manufacturer on its packaging. Pay attention to it!
Infant formula for newborns can be sour milk, that is, with the addition of bacteria. Experts do not recommend feeding them a baby all the time, they are advised to introduce in certain cases according to the indications and recommendations of the doctor. You can alternate taking a regular milk mixture with sour milk, but regarding such a diet, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician.
In the manufacture of especially strict control, there are standards that all manufacturers are obliged to adhere to. Often, infant formula for newborns of one brand differs from another only in small taste characteristics. Manufacturers offer a huge number of therapeutic mixtures, which are recommended to be administered for disorders of different levels. But this must be done very carefully and only after consultation with a specialist. Hypoallergenic mixtures in which the protein is practically cleaved should be brought into a special group.
