Abstract
It is totally known the principle of the natural breastfeeding defence in the first stages of life, since its composition provides the healthiest growth. The natural breast milk is divided in preterm milk), colostrum, transition milk and mature milk. Additionally, depending on the kind of initial feeding, three types can be differentiated: natural breastfeeding, mixed breastfeeding and artificial breastfeeding. The nutritional basis of the mixed breastfeeding can in turn be separated in two Adapted Formulas (AF): Initiation milk, from 0 to 6 months and Continuation milk from 4 to 6 months. From this age, babies must take complementary feeding or “beikost”, in which cereals will be added firstly, going on with fruits, fish and at last, dairy products and junior milk, in a parallel way to the development of the child. A number of Special Formulas (SF) are recommended to be used for determined pathophisiology situations, such as: without lactose, protein-modified, soy-based, monomerics or elementals, anti-reflux, anti-constipation and last but not least, formulas made for congenital metabolism dysfunctions.Downloads
