Lactoferrin is paired with formula

For most newborn babies.

Studies have proved that [1] the nutritional supply and source of infants aged 0-6 months is the best pure breast milk; infants aged 6-12 months are rationally supplemented with complementary foods on the basis of continued breastfeeding.

However, due to some reasons, such as the lack of milk secretion in nursing mothers; the need to work; when they are sick, they are worried about contaminating the baby through milk; they are worried that the drugs during the treatment of the disease will be absorbed by the baby through milk and damage the baby's health; and the infant's illness, sucking weakness, etc., when they cannot breastfeed fully, many parents will choose to help the baby wean.

Is it true to hear that babies get sick as soon as they are weaned?

For babies, the nutrition given by breast milk is the most comprehensive, which contains a variety of trace elements that ordinary milk powder cannot compare, so when the baby is weaned, if parents do not pay attention to the baby's diet, the baby is easy to lack trace elements, which in turn affects the baby's physical development, and even many mothers find that the baby loves to be sick when weaned, that is because of the lack of many immune nutrients of breast milk in formula milk!

Formula milk powder, how much do you know?

concerning

At the end

Formula milk powder is currently on the market more common infant milk powder, in general, formula milk powder composition specifications include essential nutrient indicators energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals ) optional addition of ingredient indicators Some countries formula milk powder ingredient specifications also include microbial and pollutant limit indicators.

The optional ingredients allowed to be added to infant formulas include: selenium, choline, manganese, inositol, taurine, L-carnitine, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA arachidonic acid (ARA total of 8 kinds. Upper and lower limits are specified for selenium, choline, manganese and inositol.

National GB14880 stipulates the nutrient content and dosage that can be used for local special dietary foods. Among them, the nutritional components that can be used in infant formula include galactose oligosaccharides (GOS fructooligosaccharides (FOS polyfructose, raffinose, polydextrose, 13-dioleic acid 2-palmitate triglyceride (OPO lutein, nucleotide, lactoferrin, calcium casein peptide, casein phosphopeptide (CPP total 11 species.

Lactoferrin, neglected?

1. Lactoferrin is an important immune nutrient in human breast milk colostrum and mammalian colostrum.

Second, lactoferrin accounts for 20% of the total protein content of breast milk is an important non-heme ferrit-binding protein.

Third, lactoferrin has an important role in antibacterial, antioxidant, enhance immunity, iron absorption balance and so on.

Under normal circumstances, the immune nutrition added to ordinary milk powder is very little visible, if you want to give the baby the maximum nutrition simulation of breast milk, these components of immune nutrition are not negligible The difference between formula milk powder and ordinary milk powder is this.

Chinese dietary survey and monitoring reflect that pregnant women in China have a high rate of iron deficiency anemia in nursing mothers, and newborns need to strengthen iron intake after birth, otherwise iron deficiency will begin after 6 months of age, which is also the time when most babies are weaned.

Gb14880 stipulates that the nutritional ingredients used in infant formula contain lactoferrin, which is a substance that can supplement iron to infants and can enhance the function of immunity in the infant's body.

The addition of lactoferrin to formula can not only improve the baby's own immunity, reduce the occurrence of diseases, but also effectively promote iron absorption and enhance hematopoietic function[6][7][8] Breastfed babies are less sick! That's exactly what it is!

Lactoferrin breast milk contains core immune substances can participate in iron metabolism, promote iron absorption, iron is an indispensable substance for infant development lactoferrin can improve the bioavailability of intestinal cells to iron, and stabilize the reduced state of iron ions, reduce the soothing effect of iron ions on the gastrointestinal tract. Lactoferrin can regulate the balance of iron and the body's immune system in infants by regulating the absorption of iron by intestinal mucosal cells according to the body's demand for iron

In addition, lactoferrin also has antimicrobial functions and has different degrees of inhibition and killing effects on many microorganisms. The bacteriostatic properties of lactoferrin are due to its high iron binding capacity, which limits the supply of iron ions at the site of bacterial infection, and inhibits the growth of these microorganisms and the expression of toxic factors, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, and keeps infants away from colds, bacterial infections, gastrointestinal diseases and other problems that are essential for the growth and development of infants.
