Among the lactose-free formulas intended for baby food, such products as Nutrilon, NAN and Similak are deservedly popular. They are of high quality, but the doctor must decide on their appointment.
Instructions
Step 1
Lactose-free formulas are used to feed children who have lactase deficiency. Lactase is an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of the lactase carbohydrate found in milk and dairy products. Lactase deficiency manifests itself in a reduced production of lactase, which may be the result of genetic diseases, improper development of intestinal microflora, etc. As a result, the child, after consuming milk, experiences discomfort, abdominal pain, flatulence and other unpleasant symptoms.
Step 2
To combat such phenomena, lactose-free mixtures are used. They have a low content of milk sugar (or do not have it at all), but at the same time they contain all the necessary milk proteins. Lactose-free mixtures are medicinal products and should only be used as directed by a pediatrician.
Step 3
Baby food manufacturers offer a wide range of quality lactose-free formulas.
Step 4
The Nutrilon Lactose Free mixture is suitable for feeding children under one year of age. It uses glucose syrup instead of milk sugar. The syrup is easy to digest and does not cause stomach problems. Initially, the Nutrilon brand specialized in mixtures with a reduced milk sugar content, and now produces mixtures that do not contain lactose at all. Nutrilon mixtures are one of the most hypoallergenic products for baby food, therefore they deserve the trust of parents.
Step 5
Unlike "Nutrilon", the mixture "NAN Lactose-free" does not even contain glucose. It is suitable for babies who do not tolerate only milk sugar well, but also ordinary sugar (glucose-galactose intolerance). NAN contains corn syrup as the main source of carbohydrates. In addition, the mixture contains substances that allow you to quickly restore the intestinal mucosa, stimulate the development of the central nervous system and increase the child's immunity.
Step 6
Another mixture that is recommended for lactose intolerance and galactosemia is called "Similac Isomil". It is formulated on the basis of soy proteins, contains beneficial probiotics and antioxidants.
