Necessary
- - a prescription from a pediatrician
- - glass containers (possibly)
- - free time
Instructions
Step 1
In different regions of Russia, dairy kitchens offer different products. Usually it is a dry adapted milk formula for babies from 0 to 8 months and cottage cheese, milk and kefir for babies from 8 months to two years. However, it also happens in a different way: for example, in some regions they give out milk mixture, and then dry milk cereals in boxes. You can clarify this question directly at the local dairy kitchen or with your pediatrician.
Step 2
The first thing to decide when signing up for a dairy kitchen is whether it will be convenient and possible for you to receive products. Undoubtedly, the quality of dairy products on "milk" is high, and they are provided free of charge. However, often one distribution point serves a very large area, so it is not convenient for everyone to visit the dairy kitchen every day.
Step 3
If you decide to become a client of a dairy kitchen, you need to go to your child's local pediatrician. The doctor will examine the baby and write out a prescription according to which the child will be assigned additional food. The prescription must be stamped by the head of the clinic (check with your doctor). With this document, you need to come to the distribution point at the agreed time (usually this is the 20th-25th day of the previous month, but in each organization the terms may vary) and sign up. This procedure will need to be done every month. After that, you will be assigned a number and told when and at what time to come for the products.
Step 4
The products are dispensed in different ways. As a rule, powdered milk mixture and cereals are given once a month - at once the entire number of boxes prescribed by the doctor. Cottage cheese and kefir are served daily (except Sunday) in glass containers. By the way, in some dairy kitchens you may be asked to buy and bring this container (for example, 5 special bottles for kefir and 5 baby food jars for cottage cheese). Milk is dispensed either together with cottage cheese and kefir in a bottle, or once a week in a liter package.
Step 5
Any family member or even an acquaintance can pick up dairy products. It will be enough just to give the child's number and surname and exchange clean, empty bottles washed at home for full ones. It will also be useful to inspect the issued container immediately at the dispensing point: it happens that poorly washed jars get to the distribution.
Step 6
Thus, the dairy kitchen is a great helper in providing the child with healthy, high-quality food. Signing up there is simple and free, and if visiting it is convenient for you, be sure to use this opportunity.
