According to statistics, today almost 70% of newborns need partially or completely artificial nutrition. Parents are forced to purchase baby formulas for their long-awaited child. There is a huge selection on the market. Among the mass of proposals, each parent tries to find what will be most useful for the child.
When choosing a mixture, an important role is played by criteria such as its composition, as well as the absence of any negative reaction to it in the baby (colic, constipation, profuse regurgitation). Sometimes, with certain diagnoses, it is necessary to choose special infant formulas. Feedback from other mothers in this case is unlikely to be useful. Here it is worth contacting a pediatrician who will advise which mixture is best to buy.
However, before you start feeding the baby with a mixture, you need to understand some points. It is very important not to rush here, since even modern infant formulas cannot completely replace healthy breast milk. After all, the composition of the latter changes according to the age of the child, so that breastfeeding provides the baby with all the necessary useful substances.
According to medical statistics, a maximum of three percent of women have serious health problems that prevent them from feeding the baby. At the same time, only in the first 2-3 months after birth, about half of the children are transferred to full artificial feeding. The main reasons for this are the lack of necessary knowledge and non-compliance with the rules of breastfeeding.
However, if you still lead supplementary foods - infant formula - or completely transfer the baby to artificial feeding, the choice of milk mixtures must be approached as responsibly as possible. When choosing a mixture, give preference to exclusively adapted, which in their composition are very close to mother's milk. It is very important not to give cow or goat milk to the baby during the first months of life , as this can be dangerous for his health.
Today, officially registered over 70 different types of mixtures that replace breast milk.
