Top 7 infant formula for newborns

Almost every mother wants to keep breastfeeding, but, unfortunately, sometimes you have to replace breast milk with formula. The reasons can be very diverse, for example, lack of milk or lack of it. But what mixtures should you pay attention to? Mixes for newborns need to be selected individually for each baby, in this article you will learn about the top infant formula, which are the most popular in their line.

On goat milk

In the past, eating on goat's milk was not as common as it is now. Nowadays, most pediatricians recommend these particular formulas, since it is easier for a newborn's body to “cope” with feeding on goat milk. This does not negate mixtures with cow's milk, since there are a lot of good ones among them. But, if there is a possibility, then, of course, it is worth thinking about choosing a mixture on goat's milk, which is perfectly digested and tolerated, absorbed faster and better than cow's milk, is rich in natural oligosaccharides and nucleotides, which makes it possible not to enrich them with synthesized analogs.

Pay attention to Kabrita 1 mixes, as they are made from natural farm milk (Netherlands) and have a very modern and healthy composition that contributes to comfortable digestion.

Advantages of mixtures:

- Fortification with whey. Breast milk is 60% whey protein and 40% casein, while Cabrita infant formula contains 63% whey protein. That is why there are no problems with digestion and digestion of mixtures.

- DigestX Fat Complex, which includes beta-palmitate (the dominant fatty acid in breast milk). This complex increases the absorption of fats, promotes stool normalization, makes baby sleep sound and calm, strengthens bones and prevents microflora imbalance.

- The mixtures are made from the milk of snow-white Saanen goats, which are kept in special, very hygienic conditions, receive excellent nutrition and clean running water. That is why milk has a high nutritional value and a pleasant delicate taste that children love.

- Prebiotics GOS and FOS, live bifidobacteria BB-12 (probiotics) help to improve digestion and form immunity and

- Natural oligosaccharides and nucleotides of goat milk.

- The mixture contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, without which it is extremely difficult for the brain and vision to form and develop.

Cow's milk

The top formulas for newborns include NAN 1 OPTIPRO.

The mixture includes the following components:

- Optipro protein (intended for healthy growth and development of the child);

- oligosaccharides 2 FL (identical to those found in mother's milk);

- probiotic BL (responsible for the state of the child's immune system);

- polyunsaturated fatty acids (as mentioned above, they are necessary for the organs of vision, as well as for the brain).

Whey proteins occupy 70% of the total mixture, the remaining 30% is allocated to casein. The composition is close to breast milk, although it does not exactly repeat it. The food is enriched with mineral components that have a positive effect on the baby's condition.

Lactose-free

For children with lactase deficiency, lactose-free mixtures are needed. This is due to the fact that food with lactose content will not be absorbed by the child, in addition, it can lead to many problems. Among the lactose-free mixtures, Nutrilon Nutricia 1 is worth highlighting. We remind you that lactose-free mixtures are therapeutic mixtures that are prescribed only by the attending doctor.

This food is based on calcium caseinate, instead of lactose - glucose syrup, which is easily absorbed by the child's body. The mixture has a good composition:

- glucose syrup;

- vegetable oils;

- calcium caseinate;

- minerals;

- L-cysteine;

- L-carnitine;

- vitamins.

Fermented milk

Unfortunately, some newborns face severe problems with digestion, in this case, standard mixtures are not always suitable, more often it is worth choosing fermented milk. In this line, one of the highest quality mixtures is Nutrilac.

The food is intended for babies who have dysbiosis, frequent constipation, colic, and increased gas production. The mixture improves the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, restores the balance of microflora, and provides a strong immune system. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are added to the mixture, as well as fermented protein. These components "unload" the gastrointestinal tract. It also contains natural milk fat, which improves metabolism and is an excellent source of energy. Added lutein and omega-3 for vision.

Hydrolysates

If your child is allergic to cow protein or has short bowel syndrome, he needs a special diet, namely hydrolyzed formulas. Many experts in this case recommend Nutrilon Pepti Gastro1. Such mixtures are also prescribed only by a doctor.

The diet food contains hydrolyzed whey proteins and amino acids that match the spectrum of breast milk. Energy value is provided by high-calorie triglycerides, nucleotides are responsible for improving digestion. By the way, this mixture is also suitable for children with lactase deficiency.

Antireflux

If the child spits up too often, it should be transferred to an antireflux mixture. Now there are a lot of such mixtures, for example, Friso VOM 1.

Due to locust bean gum, nutrition helps to neutralize regurgitation, colic and constipation. The mixture is absolutely safe, since the gum is a natural component that is extracted from the beans of the Mediterranean acacia carob tree. Along with this key component, as well as in all of the above mixtures, fatty acids, nucleotides, prebiotics and beneficial trace elements are added here. The mixture is prescribed only by the attending pediatrician.

For premature children

For premature and low birthweight babies, a special approach is also required, since such babies have a weaker body. Such mixtures for children are prescribed only by a pediatrician. For premature babies, Pre Nan 1 is suitable from birth.

In the composition of 70% whey proteins and 30% casein, therefore, nutrition is well absorbed by a fragile body. The spectrum of fatty acids is represented by the following: lenolenic, lenolic, arachidonic and decosahexaenoic. There are all the necessary minerals and vitamins.

Formulas for newborns are not just food, it is a significant contribution to the future of the child, since growth and development depend on them. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose exactly what your child needs. Before using it, you need to consult your pediatrician who will guide you in the right direction.
