Not every young mother has the opportunity to breastfeed her baby. In this case, adapted milk formulas come to her aid. The most useful for a growing baby's body are fermented milk formulas for children. But it should be noted that for the safety of the child's health, fermented milk mixture should be introduced into the baby's diet very carefully.
Instructions
Step 1
Any food product for a child other than breast milk should be administered only with the recommendation of the attending physician therapist. When visiting a doctor at a children's medical institution, a young mother should get advice on which fermented milk formulas are the safest and most suitable for her baby. It is very important to take into account the age of the child when introducing the mixture.
Step 2
Fermented milk mixtures are introduced into the child's diet if the baby is gaining weight poorly or if he has difficulties in the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
Step 3
Mixtures are different in their consistency. There are dry and liquid fermented milk mixtures. Liquid mixtures can be consumed immediately, and dry mixtures must first be diluted with water. When diluting infant formula, it is recommended to use baby food water.
Step 4
It is impossible to feed the baby only with fermented milk mixture. For the safe functioning of the child's body, it is necessary to combine the usual adapted and fermented milk mixture. This is necessary in order not to disrupt the functions of the gastrointestinal tract and acid-base balance in the body of an infant.
Step 5
Starting to feed the baby with a fermented milk mixture, it is necessary to identify whether the child has an allergic reaction to this product. It is very important not to harm the child's body when introducing a fermented milk mixture. To do this, for the first time, the baby is given a small amount of the mixture and the reaction of the body is monitored throughout the day. If a child has an allergic reaction to a certain fermented milk mixture, it should be replaced with a mixture of another manufacturer.
Step 6
If an allergic reaction is not detected, the volume of the fermented milk mixture should be gradually increased every day to the required amount. To do this, dilute the mixture in water heated to 40 degrees. Shake the bottle with the mixture thoroughly, check the temperature of the mixture by dropping it on the wrist, after which you can feed the baby. It is necessary to prepare the fermented milk mixture according to the instructions on the package.
Step 7
It is important not to overfeed the baby with the mixture, as otherwise, the baby may have frequent regurgitation.
