| Summary: | Official instructions and recommendations for feeding infants often do not keep pace with the emergence of new names and varieties of adapted and special formulas. Breast milk is the optimal product for feeding children in the first months of life; it contains numerous stimulating factors that ensure the development of the immune system, the digestive system, and the formation of a normal biocenosis. Natural feeding promotes the maturation of these systems and forms the most physiological way of further functioning. However, if breast milk is not enough to ensure adequate feeding, or for some reason natural feeding is not possible, the question of introducing supplementary feeding arises. The concept of «supplementary feeding» includes mixtures – breast milk substitutes. In this article, we propose an algorithm that will allow the practicing physician to freely navigate in all the variety of artificial mixtures not only at the moment, but also in the future, when new products appear on the market. By understanding the principles for administering formulas outlined in this article, it will be fairly easy for a pediatrician to extrapolate these principles to future formulas. |
