A young mother, of course, breastfeeds her baby after giving birth. This is the most useful and nutritious food for him, provided by nature itself. Nothing can completely replace a mother's breast milk. But, unfortunately, sometimes lactation stops or breastfeeding for some reason becomes impossible. What should you do in such a situation so as not to harm the baby?

If, for some reason, the child no longer receives mother's milk, he is transferred to artificial feeding using adapted milk formulas. They are as close as possible to the composition of breast milk and are enriched with all useful vitamins and minerals. But how can a young mother figure out among the huge number of mixtures, especially since they are different - ordinary and medicinal, hypoallergenic, antireflux, sour-milk, lactose-free? Let's try to figure out why fermented milk formulas are needed for newborns.

Substitute for breast milk

Often, mothers think about what mixture is better to feed a newborn. Of course it must beonly an adapted mixture, since an unadapted one can be poorly absorbed by the child's body, cause allergies and indigestion. Remember that formulas that are suitable for some children may not be suitable for others. And if your child has constipation, green tight feces, a tummy ache - these are signals that you need to change the mixture. Moms, watch out for these symptoms!

Sour-milk mixtures for newborns have a great advantage over ordinary ones. The fact is that they have a beneficial effect on intestinal motility, contain beneficial microorganisms and bacteria, which improves digestion.

Products such as "Nan", "Nutrilon", "Malyutka" and others are produced both in their usual form and as a fermented milk formula. These are the mixtures for newborns. Their prices are 300-365 rubles per jar. You can feed your baby with a regular formula suitable for age - for a newborn this is food number 1 (from 0 to 6 months), and fermented milk. Once a day, it is enough to replace feeding with a fermented milk product in order to improve the functioning of the intestines. Some completely temporarily switch to fermented milk formulas for newborns. But do not forget that they should not be consumed for a long time, since there are more vitamins in ordinary mixtures.

You can enter nutrition for the baby only after consulting a pediatrician. Despite the fact that fermented milk mixtures for newborns are used often and with success, beforethese need to know the opinion of the doctor observing the child. Remember to take into account the age of the baby and buy formula number 1. Do not overfeed him so that he does not suffer from spitting up. Change product if allergic reaction occurs.

Mixing baby food is very easy, all you need is a bottle with a measuring scale, warm water and a can of formula.

Do not forget that you can completely transfer the child to fermented milk formulas for a short period, then you need to return to normal nutrition.

May your baby always be he althy!
