Kabrita's adapted formulas are fortified with goat's milk whey, which is rich in nutrients including amino acids. The adaptability of this mixture contributes to its good assimilation in the fragile body of the child.

It should also be noted that initially goat milk is still closer to breast milk in terms of the properties of its proteins. But, despite this, most manufacturers of infant formula take it as a basis, because cow's milk is more economical in production. But even in an adapted form, a cow's product can cause colic, gas formation and other digestive upsets in babies. In this regard, goat milk is more friendly to the child's body. It is quickly absorbed thanks to its light β-casein. By the way, β-casein is also the main protein in breast milk. This is the whole secret of goat milk and mixtures based on it.

How to choose baby food

Food for babies is exactly the kind of product that you should be especially careful when purchasing, giving preference to only high-quality products, adjusted for the individual characteristics of the child. There are several categories of food for the little ones. At the same time, there are several main criteria that you should pay attention to in any case:

  • age group (the corresponding inscription is on the packaging of the goods);
  • shelf life. Milk-based food has a shorter shelf life than fruit and vegetable products;
  • composition. Sugar, preservatives, dyes in the composition indicate a low-quality product. When it comes to domestic goods, it is important that they fully comply with GOST;
  • type of packaging. Glass jars with mashed potatoes are safe, products in metal cans have a relatively long shelf life, and cardboard packaging makes food cheaper;
  • appearance of the package.This is very important, since any flaw reduces the quality of nutrition, and the product becomes potentially dangerous for the child's body.

There are such types of food for babies of different ages:

  • milk mixtures. They replace breast milk if breastfeeding is not possible for any reason. Such food is used from the first days of life. The best dry mixes contain the necessary trace elements, inorganic compounds and vitamins;
  • mashed potatoes. This is the most common type of complementary food. It is used for babies from 4 months. There are mashed potatoes from one or several components: from a cape, fish, vegetables, fruits, with the addition of cottage cheese. The best option in terms of convenience and safety is products in glass jars that retain all the nutrients;
  • porridge - food for children from 4 months. Buckwheat, rice or oat groats are processed in a special way so that the product is perfectly absorbed;
  • juices. As a rule, they are given to children from 3 months. Good juice has a completely natural composition and does not contain sugar (this is especially true for products for the smallest).
