The very first breastfeed of a newborn is always an exceptional moment, whether it is breast milk or formula. This first feed stimulates both bowel movement and the maturation of her entire gastrointestinal system . But like many other parts of the human body, the gastrointestinal tract is not fully mature at birth. And while his body is well equipped to digest, digestion is a business he still has to tame. This requires a very active participation on his part. This is where constipation , diarrhea, colic , and gas occur … To help him overcome his ailments, here is our advice and adapted infant formulas.
Infant gastric reflux
Reflux occurs when food comes up from the baby’s stomach. This is because in infants, the muscle ring between the esophagus and the stomach, not being fully formed, prevents the stomach contents from rising. Regurgitations disappear with the acquisition of a sitting position . However, there are a few steps you can take to mitigate them; such as avoiding putting the baby to bed immediately after taking the bottle. Taking 3 or 4 breaks during the feed with a roast helps to evacuate the air in his stomach. If the reflux persists or is too frequent, we advise you to opt for the SN-2 Bio Plus Organic Anti-Regurgitation Milk from Biostime. This organic baby formula is formulated with 100% Norman milk. Enriched with carob, a thickener of natural origin, it has been specially designed to limit the reflux of babies and meet their specific nutritional needs.
Colic
Colic episodes start when an infant is about 6 weeks old and subsides dramatically after 3 to 4 months of age. If a perfectly healthy baby squirms and screams, stretches and tucks his legs and then straightens them out, you are very likely to be dealing with colic. Colic attacks can last for more than 3 hours for at least 3 days a week, for at least 3 weeks. They come from multiple sources such as stress, migraine, allergies …
But generally, this evil is related to the level of maturity of the intestine. In particular the poor coordination of the latter with the nervous system or the absence of certain enzymes in its wall. To soothe your baby, it is extremely important to remain calm during times of crisis. Rocking him gently will bring him comfort. If despite your best efforts, it remains inconsolable, your pediatrician will advise the Baby Expert AC Transit of Gallia . Clinical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of this Anti-Colic (AC) milk.
Intolerances and allergies
Allergies are often hereditary , but their transmission is not systematic. Certain foods eaten by the mother can cause allergic reactions in breastfed babies. But if your baby is formula-fed, they may be less tolerant of an ingredient in it. Most of the time, it is bovine protein because infant formulas are made from processed cow’s milk.
If your baby is one of them, don’t panic. Infant formulas based on proteins from goat’s milk are now available in France. The Goat Milk Infant Baby of CapriCare is a nice alternative to infant formulas made from cow’s milk protein. Developed from the natural qualities of whole goat milk, Capricare is fortified to provide the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients required, in accordance with the regulations, to be a substitute for breastfeeding.
