Milk powder mix

It is better however to use the milk powder in artificial feeding and prepare a fresh mix for each meal, thereby avoiding the complications of long-term storage of mixtures and the possibility of digestive disorders in infants as a result of poisoning. In addition to milk, all the other products that we use for infant feeding, must be absolutely fresh and high quality and properly stored, because the infant digestive system is extremely sensitive and products that can successfully be used by adults or even older children, infants may cause problems in digestion. This applies to both fruit and vegetables, and flour products. such as flour, cereal, and butter, eggs, meat, sugar, etc.

Maintaining absolute purity is valid not only for preparing compounds and handling of milk, but also in preparing extra meals intended for infants, which include: vegetable soup and mash with vegetables, fruit juices, milk-semolina porridge, meat, sawn, mash cottage cheese, etc. Feeding infants. Regardless of whether the infant is fed breast milk or fed artificially, or receives a mixed diet, more or less the same time introducing the infant feeding by the introduction of prepared foods in addition to replace a meal with the child or the mother's breast milk mixture. As the child's growth and gradually extending feeding, and we reduce the order meals from the mother's breast milk or a mixture of doing so by the end of the first year of life.

Preparing the meal - artificial feeding of infants

The most important condition for the artificial feeding an infant is that the cow's milk is full fat, of excellent quality and free from bacterial contamination. If we can not provide liquid milk such a high quality milk powder we use first grade. Milk powder, among other advantages, it has the advantage over liquid milk that a baby makes them independent from the supply of liquid milk and the mother may at any time to prepare fresh baby food. It is very important, especially in hot weather, as liquid milk spoils easily if most appropriate temperature for storing milk is + 4 ° C, because only we can stop this temperature for several hours microbial growth. As at home in the absence of refrigerators and cold storage to obtain the temperature is often impossible, milk and blend for babies cool in running water, so as to obtain a temperature of about 10 ° C (assumed to tap adapted diameter hose, put a pot of stone, in which zakapslowanych bottles stored milk or infant formula, and so regulate the current of water that the water flowed very slowly into the pot and spilling over the top very slowly drifting away.) Cooling and milk mixtures in this manner is necessary in the summer, especially in those cases where we store them overnight for the morning feeding. The water flowing from the pot into a bowl or tray to be used for farming purposes (washing, etc.).

Artificial feeding of infants

In case of inability of natural feeding, or mixed, we are forced to use artificial feeding, namely that instead of food from the breast of the mother gives the infant liquid food prepared from cow's milk, ie. milk mixture. The results of this diet are generally worse than the exclusive or partial breast-feeding. This confirms the higher morbidity and increased mortality of artificially fed children, suggesting that breastfed infants are more resistant to any kind of infection.

Despite the very significant progress in the technique of artificial nutrition is not yet known such a mixture nutrition, which could replace food entirely feminine. Although well-mastered technique of artificial feeding can reduce the negative influences, but we will not be able to 'protect the infant milk microbiological purity and composition that has breast milk. This is because the composition of breast milk and cow's milk differs not only quantitatively but also qualitatively. This applies primarily to the protein bodies. Dilution of cow's milk in this way that the percentage of protein was the same as in breast milk, yet make them like these two foods, since both a type of protein in breast milk and amino acid composition is different, and by diluting the milk does not get the similarity, only exacerbates . Protein both in human milk, cow's milk as it is specific to the species and can not be totally replaced.

A further important difference is that the infant from the mother's breast sucking food is always fresh, unaltered, while still alive, no pollution, while cow's milk goes a long trek from time to time milking it to provide the infant with the result that is often contaminated and infected with bacteria. Such a diet is the healthiest baby.

Mixed feeding of infants

In cases of insufficient breast milk, or other causes and prevent mother completely, breast-feeding a baby can eat partially breastfed, partly artificial. Such a mixed diet is in any case be more than an exclusive artificial feeding. We serve more meals if baby from the breast, other times u give the baby milk mixture prepared as indicated by your doctor.

If there is a possibility of weighing the child at home before and after feeding at least once every few days, we can determine how much food the mother is missing due to a portion of the infant and her complement each mixture. This way of supplementing breast milk is the most preferred, but not always possible to use as a very demanding mother.

When the amount of breast milk is clearly decreasing, we must remember that even one meal a day for the infant is very important. Do not put baby to breast in the summer, since it is a time of year. in which infants often succumb to gastrointestinal diseases and all types of food poisoning. In infants fed breast milk in the gastrointestinal tract, there is a specific bacterial flora, which inhibits the growth of bacteria in the intestines and digestion of bacteria that can cause diarrhea.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is the best way to feed the baby. The best food and best adapted to the needs of the infant is breast milk (breast milk), since it contains all the essential nutrients that are essential to maintain good health, proper growth and development of the child.
In addition, breast milk:

1) mother's milk does not contain pathogenic bacteria or other microorganisms saprophytic;
2) is heated to body temperature;
3) is always fresh, clean and ready for consumption;
4) contains a very easily digested and most digestible protein;
5) contains large amounts of digestive enzymes to help digest fat and starch (these enzymes are boiled in milk are destroyed);
6) contains easily digestible fat (fat globules in breast milk are lower than those in cow's milk);
7) contains the required amount of vitamins for infants, infants fed breast milk shall be fully contained in the milk amount of vitamins in the same state;
8) contains significantly more vitamin C than whole cow's milk, vitamin C oxidizes very quickly and all the manipulations (pouring milk, straining out, cooking, storage, etc.) in cow's milk almost did not occur;
9) contains a more equal amount of vitamin A, while in cow's milk vitamin A content varies depending on the season.

The very fact that the administration of breast milk infant nutrition are described as natural, indicates the great importance we assign this way of feeding infants. Today more and more mothers considered it their duty to breast-feed your baby, at least during the first months when the child system is most sensitive to any kind of infection. It was found at the same time that the impossibility of feeding in women is very rare (1 to 5%).

Water

Water is widely distributed in nature compound. The average water content in the adult human body is about 60%. This means that the average, 72 kilogram man is made up of about 45 liters of water. In women, the higher amount of body fat, percentage of water is a bit smaller. The body of a newborn baby contains 75%, and the human embryo almost 98% water. Each body contains water and as such striated muscles consist of 75% water, 70% of the skin, connective tissue 60%, fat 20%, bone 25%, renal 80%, 70% of lung, liver 68%. Water is a substrate for many processes (eg digestion) or product (eg, breathing oxygen). Water is involved in the transport of substances in the body. The water in the body occurs in three areas: the intracellular space, in the extracellular space and in the intercellular space. These spaces vary in anatomical location, physiological functions and chemical composition. The fluid in the extracellular space are: blood plasma, tissue fluid and lymph. Fluid in the intercellular space includes: cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid in the chambers of the eye, the fluid in the body cavities (eg, peritoneum), fluid in the joint capsules and digestive juices found in the gastrointestinal tract (saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, bile and intestinal juice). Water contained in our bodies is subject to constant exchange. A healthy body maintains a very strict control over the balance of fluids, in which even a 1-2% loss of water may adversely affect the functioning of the whole system. Without food we can survive several weeks, but no water - only a few days. Water has many benefits. Drinking plenty of water helps prevent constipation. In our society where many people are overweight, the fact that water is the drink totally deprived of calories (energy) is very important. Drinking water contain many different minerals. Their level in tap water varies from region to region of origin. Bottled water differs radically from it in terms of its content in minerals.
