Do Toddlers Need Advanced Formula Milk?
Breastfeeding (breast milk) for two years is the best foundation for infant health. Enzymes present in breast milk (milk) are needed infants, especially in the first two years of development.
However, after a little over two years, what milk should be given after breastfeeding? We have more product choices and brands of formula milk for infants continued over the age of one year. Even so, parents should be extra careful when deciding to choose the advanced formula.
According to dr Purborini Asti, Sp A, of the Central Association Perinatologi Indonesia, parents should examine the food safety of dairy products. “You’d better choose safe products, for example, that do not contain preservatives. Therefore, if for milk, milk of choice is fresh or UHT milk (ultra high temperature) and pasteurization,” he said. In addition to preservative free, fresh dairy products are much cheaper.
Learning from the case of milk contamination, either by the bacteria Enterobacter sakazaki or melamine, it is important to understand by the parents that the infant formula milk products are not 100 percent sterile. Therefore, in the use and storage needed special attention.
For two-year-old child, fulfilling the child nutrition could be optimized through the provision of a balanced diet. “Give your child foods that contain carbohydrates, vitamins, protein, and minerals,” said Ida Ruslita Amir, SKM, M Kes, from Nutrition Association met in Indonesia during the launching ceremony held by Frisian Flag, some time ago.
“In the food pyramid released by the WHO, the milk is perfect combination. The amount required was smaller than vegetables or carbohydrates,” Rini said when contacted Kompas.com. Therefore, according to Rini, parents do not have to worry if your child does not want to drink milk for nutritional needs are met from food.
“Mothers today more frantic when her daughter did not want to drink milk, but calm when his son hard to eat vegetables,” said Rini. Concerning the provision of food to children, Rini suggested that the mothers make their own food. In addition to healthier, nutritious, and hygienic, of course, are cheaper than buying factory-made instant food.
