1. What is modified milk
Modified milk is a special nutritional food for infants and young children. It is based on cow's or goat's milk, which is modified to make its composition as similar as possible to that of a female. Unfortunately, it is not possible to create milk identical to our mother's. For many years, an alternative to breastfeeding was breast milk (women who breastfed unrelated children, who usually also served as caregivers) or animal milk.2. Types of modified milk
Demand for different ingredients varies with age, and interestingly, the composition of breast milk varies during lactation Differed immediately after birth, and different several months afterwards. The basic criterion for the distribution of milk modified is the age of the baby. Milk is usually numbered 1 to 5. Primary milk (1) intended for newborns and infants up to 6 years of age.3. Other labelling that can be found on the packaging of modified milk
HA hypoallergenic milk which is intended to prevent the development of a food allergy to cow's milk proteins. It is used in infants with an increased risk of allergy (e.g. allergy occurs in parents or siblings). It contains partially dehydrated protein, i.e. one whose structure is broken down into smaller elements (peptides). However, the protein chains are shorter, the product is less allergenic.4. Things to look out for when choosing
Therefore, the selection of the appropriate modified milk should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor. It is important to know that the composition of the product is regulated by the European Union Directive and the Health Minister's Regulation. However, the content of the key nutrients is the same in each preparation and each of them will satisfy the basic needs of the baby. The composition is long and complex, but it is best understood because it is to be as close as possible to milk, which contains many different ingredients.
