Although a person began to eat milk of ruminant animals from the moment of the formation of livestock civilizations, that is, at the beginning of its economic activity, the main food of children in those distant times was still breast milk. When the mother could not feed the child, resorted exclusively to the help of the cormal.

Breast feeding has lost popularity, especially among wealthy women, mainly because it prevented themselves to lead secular life. From the middle of the XVIII century, the feeding of children with milk animals has become quite common, and the preference was not given to a cow, but goat and donkey milk.

Allergy to milk

In the XX century, on the contrary, there were reports of allergies to the cow's milk. From this to the present, more and more doctors began to be aware of the reality of the existence of allergies on the protein of cow's milk. Reactions can be developed either locally in the gastrointestinal tract, or in other organs: leather, respiratory tract, kidneys, mucous membranes, nervous system.

Allergy to milk is mainly a disease children under the age of two yearsAnd its prevalence decreases sharply in children over three years. But no age cannot be considered safe: this diagnosis can be delivered to a teenager and an adult. IN early age More susceptible to the disease boys.

Children with allergies to cow milk are often reacting and on the goat (the so-called cross reaction).

The rate of appearance of allergy symptoms to milk can be from several minutes or hours to several days.

Causes of allergies

Early, that is, from the first month of life, the emergence of allergic reactions in the baby, which is in breastfeeding, is associated with the nature of the mother's nutrition in the third trimester of pregnancy and during lactation. It is daily (regardless of the dose) that the use of dairy products of the future or nursing mom leads to the formation of hypersensitivity to the protein of cow's milk.

The risk of developing allergic reactions increases with the use of raw milk and at the same time - a large amount of sugar (condensed milk with sugar). And on the contrary, the risk decreases with thermal processing of milk (boiled, dry milk).

Features of the assimilation of milk

80% of children under 14 years old have been suffering allergic to cow milk.

According to the information received from the head of the Virology Department of the Children's Health Center, Ramna, Doctor of Medical Sciences Tatyana Senzova, from the ninety of the most consumable foods most often the body of most babies and adolescents does not accept the cow's milk.

Allergenic, children's dairy mixes, yogurts and cheeses based on them are also recognized. According to experts, it may be associated with the quality of feed, which today take animals today, as well as the fact that the immune system of children is weakened. It is curious that many babies suffer from allergies even to maternal milk. It turned out that the reason is that the parental, in turn, use cow's milk.

Goat milk is recognized as safe from the point of view of allergenicity.

Products for low-energy feeding can limit energy consumption, therefore the average energy density should usually be no less than 4.2 kJ (1 kcal) / g. This is the first reason why cow's milk, especially with low fat, is not recommended to give infant children until they reach a two-year-old age.

The second reason is the imperfection of the gastrointestinal tract. In breast milk contains enzymes that contribute to hydrolysis of fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the intestine. There are no them in the cow's milk, they do not have to talk about the digestibility of this food. Unpained products are aggressors irritating intestinal mucosa. Casein, being an aggressive soluble protein, despite the large molecule, penetrates through the intestinal walls, forcing the Histamine organism to produce. Thus, it causes, firstly, intestinal bleeding, even if we are talking about microscopabins, which, however, put in guilt the manifestations of reduced hemoglobin in children. Secondly, is one of the reasons for the reaction in stressful situations to the accumulated histamine. That is, very strong allergies occur dramatically. The most reasonable thing is to wait for the age of ripening the intestinal mucous membrane, when at least partially neutralized the aggressive effect of the protein of cow's milk. This is an age of one and a half or two years old.

Moreover, even if milk is sufficient fat (this is returning to the question of food density), secretion of bile salts only enough for the formation of micelles - the effectiveness of fat absorption is low compared to adult organism reactions.

As for the work of the kidneys, the load on them dissolved substances, say, the mature breast milk is 93 mosmol / l. Mixtures - 135-150 mosmol / l. Cow Milk is about 350 mosmol / l and more (depending on additives). The load of three and a half times is large than biologically "designed" the body of the child of this age.

The skipping capacity of the kidneys is insufficient to simultaneously work with high load of dissolved substances and maintain the necessary fluid - its increased output. Because of this, the child asks to drink even more, gets the same load and falls into a closed circle. The same applies to juices. Moreover, the load is determined by the conclusion not only substances obtained as a result of protein metabolism, but also the sum of four electrolytes, such as sodium, chlorine, potassium and phosphorus, which six eights exceed the biological norms for the child.

As for the state of the mucous membrane, it is worth adding: casein is alien food for the human body. And microbiological proteins are applied direct toxic strike (except immunological).

Milk is one of the most severe and potentially dangerous foods in the child's nutrition.

Several generations of parents grew up with a solid belief in the fact that the cow's milk is the most useful product for a child containing all the useful substances for the growth and development of crumbs. However, all this is true only for maternal milk. To feed the human child with cow's milk - the same thing is that the blood is the blood of an inappropriate group, that is, it's dangerous. However, death will not immediately come immediately, and later, when it is already forgotten than the kid fed his parents, and therefore many people are not seriously related to such a "delayed" threat.

What useful makes milk?

Milk, both female and cow, is water with the addition of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, trace elements and vitamins. But do not think that their benefits are the same. The words "Cat" and "Current" are composed of the same letters, but what difference as a result!

As can be seen from the table, the components of female and cow's milk are the same, but their number is different.
The cow's milk is aimed at growing faster to grow faster, because in 2 years it will be an adult animal and will reserve his own offspring.

Female milk provides parallel development of bone muscular and central nervous systems, brain. Therefore, the children on the milk of mothers grow slower, but exactly in accordance with the program laid by nature.

Why can't the cow's milk for children of the second year of life?

The fact that the children of the first year of life can not be fed with milk cows, no surprise causes. It is clear that high infant mortality before the era of dairy mixes was explained and improper feeding. Now rare parents are "hardened" at 8-10 children and no one wants to lose the child in connection with the unsuitable nutrition.

The children of the second year are not so vulnerable, many moms on the council of grandmothers are thrown to breastfeeding and consciously translate children on the cow of milk, even without guessing that they are awarded with their own hands the favorite child with many diseases associated with immunity and heart, vessels and kidneys, that is - reduce His life.

High doses Saturated fats They lead to the development of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of the children's vessels. In Russia, they are already detected by preschoolers!

The content of phosphorus and calcium in the cow's milk is significantly higher than in female. Due to this, children who feed cow's milk have more thick hair, but they quickly overgrow the spring, without giving the head to achieve normal sizes. So, the big spring rods should be maintained until the middle of the second year of life, but it is still tightened on the first. It is fraught with the development of headaches due to elevated intracranial pressure In schoolchildren's children, in connection with which they cannot fully learn, and in an adult state - hundreds of times the risk of hypertension increases.

In cow's milk less iron and copper, then the child, feeding them, will suffer from anemia.
These facts can be continued infinitely. The meaning is important: cow's milk - unsuitable nutrition for the child both the first and second year of life.

What to feed?

The cow's milk is a natural, but inappropriate product, and the mixtures offered by manufacturers are far from perfect. What to feed the child after a year? The answer is simple: breast milk. WHO experts directly recommend extending natural feeding as long as possible. And if there is a desire to feed the one-year-old child with cow milk, then you need to give no more than 100 grams per day. An increase in the number will bring more harmthan good.

Milk has always been considered the most valuable products in children's nutrition, and indeed very useful for any person. And indeed it is. Milk contains almost all the basic nutrients needed to children for development and growth: fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Must occupy a weighty place in the diet of the child. But just no one year old. Modern pediatricians argue that one-piece milk is forbidden to give to children until the year. The recommendations of the World Health Organization also talk about it. True, in some countries this restriction is valid until 9 months of age.

Undoubtedly, the best for breastfeeding has always been, there will be breast maternal milk. You can talk about his benefits and uniqueness for a long time, but about this topic - breast milk is always sterile (if the child sucks him directly from the breast, that in theory is excluded when feeding it with any other milk), absolutely balanced in composition and easily digested Not yet formed an imperfect baby digestive system. In this regard, only breast milk can provide a child with everything necessary and in the best of all possible form. If you say in more detail, but briefly, the arguments against goat and cow's milk look approximately.

Why do not cow's milk breast kids?

  • One-piece cow's milk is oversaturated with minerals: calcium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium, potassium. They create an "extra ballast" in the body of the child, with which its functionally not developed urinary system cannot cope. As a result, children's kidneys begin to work with 2-3-fold overload, trying to bring the cow's milk.
  • The cow's milk contains 3-4 times more proteins and sodium than breast. And this is a protein of quite different quality - a potentially allergenic for an infant. Allergologists have established that if you give a cow milk to children in the first 3 months of life, then each 4th child arises allergic to milk and dairy products.
  • In cow's milk too many casein.
  • But carbohydrates cow's milk is poorly.
  • It contains an insufficient amount of iodine, zinc, copper, vitamins C and E.
  • Also, there are few of the necessary fatty acids (linoleic and a-linolenic acids) and polyunsaturated fatty acids for the development of the brain.
  • Iron content in cow's milk is very low. Namely, iron is the basis of the rapidly developing erythrocytes of a growing baby, and its lack can lead to development.
  • With regular consumption of babies, cow's milk can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, especially under the age of 6 months.
  • It does not have folic acid, Taurine and cystin amino acids necessary for the normal development of the child.
  • It has been established that the early introduction of cow milk into the diet of infants can provoke the development of the first type. Therefore, it is recommended to completely eliminate the cow's milk from the diet of the child of the first year of life, if there are insulin-dependent patients in the family.

Why do not goat milk breast kids?

  • In goat milk there is even more casein than in a cow.
  • The content of some vitamins and trace elements in goat milk is too high for an infant. The urinary kid system is not yet working properly, therefore such a concentration of mineral salts creates a greater burden on the kidneys.
  • The divorced goat milk to the "safe" level does not represent any value - all its properties are lost.
  • The folic acid content in goat milk is very insignificant. And this vitamin is necessary for blood formation. Thus, a child foliageful anemia can develop a child that feeds goat milk.
  • In goat milk contained in large quantities Kapron, capricious and caproic acids that have toxic effects on a children's body.
  • The ratio of calcium and phosphorus in goat milk "is broken" (compared to the chest) in the direction of increasing calcium. And this slows down the digestibility of these substances.
  • The bioavailability of goat milk iron is 3.5 times lower compared to the chest.
  • In goat milk is not enough for a child vitamin A and vitamin D.
  • But fat in it is more than in breast and even cow's milk. Therefore, goat milk is an excellent energy product for children of preschool and older age, but the kids of the first year of life have not yet enough enzymes to digest this fat.
  • The use of goat milk for feeding children up to a year leads to diapered bleeding from the intestine, which, in combination with a low level of assimilation of iron from this product leads to the development of iron deficiency anemia.

Milk Murok Rotn

The basis of milk of any animal (including a person) is a protein. Depending on its nature, the animal milk is divided into two groups: casein, among which the cow and goat milk, and serum (with a protein albumin and globulin), to which belongs, for example, mare and donkey milk. By the way, serum proteins have antibiotic properties that protect the organism from infection. And what is interesting: most of the women's milk proteins are albumin, that is, it refers to the last group and is very far from the composition of cow and goat milk. What does this mean for a child?

Under the influence of gastric juice, any milk, falling into the human body, folds. At the same time, the albumin milk turns into flakes, which are easily digested even by an unformed infant digestive system. And casein milk turns into a dense clock, which is not able to digest a small ventricle.

Initially, the animal milk is intended for feeding animals, not people. After all, the main task is to catch up with muscle mass and the weight of a fast-growing physically young animal. The main purpose of female breast milk is to provide a child's brain with essential polyunsaturated fats. A person treats completely to another biological species. Therefore, the animal milk cannot be an adequate replacement of the chest in the breast feeding process.

And if we talk about the alternative, then the most close-to-carrying human body and in the composition of breast milk is the donkey milk. It should give preference among all others if there is no feminine.

From two evils choose less

Pediatricians around the world strongly recommend feeding a child up to a year only with breast milk, and no other. However, this is not always possible and not always acceptable to mothers for very different reasons. What to do in this case? If you do not have breast milk or not enough - consult with a consultant breastfeeding: In most cases, you can keep and even increase. If you decide for some personal reasons, find a donor milk of another woman for him. But here there are its stumbling blocks here: this woman should certainly be healthy, right and well eat and stick healthy image Life, first of all, not to have harmful habits for health. If you find a donor milk, it is impossible or for you this thought is the best alternative nutrition for the newborn will be adapted milk mixtures. Pediatricians recommend them as a replacement of milk to 3 years of age. But, first, not all families on the pocket of this expensive product, and secondly, very many parents by convictions are chosen as a replacement of breast milk - it is the animal. If you were not convinced of the facts outlined above, and you decided to feed the baby by ordinary milk, then you, of course, are interested in the question: Which of them choose as baby food?

So, we found out that from all kinds of animal milk it is dony in composition and properties, the most approximately approximately to female breast milk. But get the donkey milk is very difficult, if at all really. Therefore, most better decision (If this can be called that in view of the above facts) there will be a goat milk. First of all, due to the protein, which compared to the cow is still digested at least a little, but easier, and also due to the lack of agglutine in it, which is present in the cow's milk and is also awakening digestion. In addition, the fatty acids of goat milk are absorbed better.

In goat milk is three times more useful and vital to the baby amino acids than in a cow. The amino acid Taurine is especially useful: it helps the formation of all organs and the kid systems and significantly increases its immunity.

Goat milk is more than cow fits children prone to allergies. It contains less causins \u200b\u200bthat are allergic, which are more similar to the casein of breast milk than cow. Also, goat milk is more suitable for children suffering from the intolerance to dairy sugar, because it is less lactose than in the cow's milk. Therefore, pediatricians recommend mixtures based on goat milk to allergy children.

Regarding vitamins and microelements, the milk of both animals is rich in them, only in different ratios. Calcium, potassium, copper, selenium, vitamin B6 and vitamin A more contained in goat milk. But the milk of cows is much richer with folic acid - in goat milk it is negligible, and it is extremely necessary for a small child.

Think yourself, decide for yourself: give or not give

Before mom, which cannot or does not want to feed the child with breast milk, it is actually a difficult task. What kind of points of view choose? To feed a very small crumb with functionally undeveloped internal systems "heavy" animal milk or still safer artificial children's adopted milk mixtures? After all, the nutrition of the first year of life lays the foundation of the human health for his entire subsequent life!

Animal milk - absolutely naadapted for a small child product, say pediatricians. It is very useful for older children. But should not be considered as a panacea from all diseases, and enter the diet of the child as a diet. It is especially undesirable that small children consume milk animal in large quantities. If a 12-month-old child drinks one liter of cow's milk or an equivalent amount in dairy products, it provides two-thirds of its energy needs. Thus, very little space remains for the other products necessary for its organism that make up a diverse healthy diet. In addition, in the absence or decrease in the number of enzymes that take part in the digestion of milk, it may cause meteorism and fermentation processes in the intestine as a result of nonsense.

Nevertheless, many of the parents are confident: any natural product is much more useful for artificial, including especially for a child. Therefore, they consider more reasonable feeding of children with goat and cow milk than "chemical" mixtures. In addition, this is a very lacking piece on the market, because for children, in theory, nothing is pity, and parents buy expensive mixes in order not to be. Of course, fakes of this product are more than you can imagine, and you never know for sure that you give the baby under the guise adapted mixture. Skeptics also argue that this is a huge business (they will not argue here), in which they are involved and have their own share, including pediatricians. Only this and substantiate their active position in defense of children's "jars and boxes" with artificial fillers.

Whatever it was, and all the responsibility for the decisions made exclusively on the parent shoulders. Weigh everything carefully. And, whatever you choose, consider all possible nuances of such feeding. Relative to the mixtures - detailed instructions You can find their correct application on the package. But relative to the animal milk - just reason competently and logical. First of all, you must be confident in the chistrice of the hostess and the absolute health of the animal. It should be said that the references presented in the markets are not always authentic. Useful will know that if the goat milk has a characteristic nasty smell (Yes, in principle, the cow also), this indicates that before milking, the hostess poorly washed udder, since the volatile fatty acids that give this smell of milk are just on the skin.

But cleanliness and sterility is not all. Much depends on what pasture and in what proximity to the road, where all heavy poisonous metals are settled, the animal is lined up. Even if you buy milk in the store (although it is also possible to know about its composition), you should know that children under one year are not recommended (in which there is practically no fat) milk. Safety (2%) Milk can be given to a child only after two years. Therefore, one-piece milk with fat content should be chosen 3.25-4%. However, it, and especially homemade milk, it is necessary to dilute before feeding and cooking dishes. And keep in mind that when boiling it loses all its vitamins.

Separate attention requires the preparation of children's porridge on animal milk. Such a dish is too calorie for a small child. Therefore, it is better to use breast milk for this purpose or. But if you are a supporter of animal milk, pre-divor it for the preparation of children's dishes: to obtain 200 ml of diluted milk, boil 70 ml of water, add 130 ml of boiled cow or goat milk and a teaspoon without sugar vertex. However, if the baby is chubby with hereditary inclinations to excess weight, it is better to boil him simply on the water.

"Milk" selection is not easy, but inevitable. It is simply necessary to decide on one or the other side, because the child needs to feed something. Be sure to yourself, but sometimes it can be useful to listen and to another opinion ... Let your kids grow fisted and healthy

In order to receive all the necessary vitamins and trace elements from an early age, you need to take care of its balanced nutrition from the first days. With the birth of a baby, parents arises many fears, and therefore questions. It is important to learn independently useful and necessary information about the content and development in case of any deviations timely required to contact child doctor For the necessary diagnostics and consultation.

One of the frequently asked questions from young parents: "When a child can give ordinary cow's milk?" After all, this is the first product that the baby tries immediately after his birth. And parents are important to know all its characteristics and features.

Useful and harmful properties of cow milk

This is a unique drink enriched with vitamins A, B, mineral elements, amino acids. In 100 ml of milk contains: proteins - 3.3%, carbohydrates - 4.8%, fats - 3.7%. Calcium is almost completely absorbed by the body by 97%, which makes milk by an indispensable product for both children and adults. Energy value of the product - 68.5 kilocalories in 100 ml.

At the same time, an insufficient amount of vitamins C, D and iron. This may lead to a delay in development, anemia, an increase in cholesterol, negatively affect vision.

Milk steam room is dangerous, as it is infected (brucellosis), it is necessary to boil it. This indispensable healing product has other positive characteristics that contribute to improving immunity, treat many diseases, are used in cosmetology for rejuvenation, improve memory, soothe nervous system, treat heart disease, gastritis, and also increase the life expectancy.

There are also contraindications for people suffering from the lack of enzyme, which breaks the lactose, allergies, the elderly after fifty years. In this article we will reveal the topic "When you can start giving a child a cow's milk." After all, from him so much benefit!

Food at the initial feeding stages

The most valuable and no replaceable product for babies is maternal breast milk. It contains a whole storehouse of vitamins, carbohydrates, trace elements, so necessary for still small kids. Mother's milk is easily absorbed by the body, gives strong immunity and is a meal and drink for up to six months. It also does not deteriorate and has a positive effect on the body.

It serves as breast cancer prevention, mother's mastopathy. After childbirth, it quickly acts on the contraction of the uterus, and also improves the figure, returning the former forms to women. This is a natural and unique natural process. In the diet, you can enter the cow milk to children. From what age and how to start it correctly, you will learn later.

Features of cow milk in comparison with maternal

Consider the differences of these types of product. To understand whether it is possible to give a child a cow's milk in a year old age, first of all need to be rented. In maternal, in 100 ml, there are: carbohydrates - 7.5%, protein - 1.2%, fat - 7.5%. Energy value -70 Kokalorius. These are the most optimal rates for feeding in the first stages for children.

The cow's milk contains 2 times less carbohydrates, but more protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other minerals that can cause allergies. And high fatty increases blood cholesterol, which can later provoke heart disease, vascular diseases, atherosclerosis, angina.

On the question of when a cow's milk can be given to a cow, specialists of the medical institute respond to the optimal option - starting from 3 years. It was during this period of development that children fully absorb food.

Cow milk or mixture?

Modern science is developing a variety of baby food manufacturing technologies. A lot of attempts were made, but all these products could not fully replace the maternal milk.

True, for last years The mixtures became as close as possible to the desired composition. In comparison with cow's milk, baby food is considered absolutely safe in one year old, as the kid's body is not completely fastened.

When you can give Baby food To date, there are considerable money, not everyone can afford to feed with mixtures up to 3 years. In order to save a budget after twelve months, you can try to introduce milk into the diet.

Right transition to cow's milk

Consult with a children's doctor who will give delivel tips on how old the cow milk is given to children and how to check the body on an allergic reaction. As with other food, you need to pay attention to any side effects. The symptoms of lactose intolerance can be: diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, rash on the skin.

So, it's time to know when you can give a cow's milk to a child and whether it is necessary to breed it with water? The transition can take place at the age when the baby reached twelve months. It is only necessary to give a degreased - only after two years. Start with a small amount, diluting with water in proportions 1: 2, and after 3-4 weeks you can change the proportion of 1: 1.

Carefully watch the toddler's reaction to the new product and time when you can give a cow's milk to a child. Do not mix with fruits, berries and other products that can cause bloating and pain in the tummy in the baby.

Important information

If you constantly add a baby to the food cow's milk or often give it as a drink, a child can have dehydration, as well as allergic to milk protein. How many children can cow's milk? Pediatricians say not earlier than from 12 months, and if possible from 1.5 - 2 years.

Otherwise, too early introduction into the diet of this product may affect the occurrence of certain diseases, for example, iron deficiency anemia. It has the opportunity to get sick diabetes First type, severe disease associated with metabolic disorders.

If there are insulin-dependent patients in the family, we advise not to include products in the diet, which contains non-adaptable protein.

Conclusion

After reading this article, you now know when you can give a cow's milk to a child and how to enter it into the diet. We wish you good health to your family and happy smiles to a child!

On natural and artificial feeding, from a specialist.

The general question that parents ask is, from what age can the child can give ordinary milk? Even when the child grows rapidly, the cow's milk is not recommended until the age of 12 months.

Exists a number of reasons why you should not give wholely cow's milk to kids under 1 year.

  1. The digestive tract of babies is not ready to easily and completely digest the cow's milk, like a breast or mixture. In the cow's milk, a high concentration of protein and minerals, straining not yet mature kidney of a child.
  2. For children, up to the year, more excessive use of dairy products can increase the threat of the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia. Milk interferes with the correct absorption of iron, and iron can not be reduced or removed from the diet of the child.
  3. The cow's milk for children under the year is not recommended yet and because it may irritate the mucous membrane of the digestive system, which is manifested by the appearance of blood in the chair.
  4. In the cow's milk, the amount of sodium is three times higher than in maternal milk.

However, when a child will be ready to digest one-piece milk, it can supplement a balanced diet that includes cereals, vegetables, fruits and meat.

Why should a child drink cow's milk?

The milk is saturated with calcium, which strengthens the teeth and bones, contributes to the regulation of blood clotting.

It is also one of the few sources of vitamin D, without which calcium is not absorbed in the body. Vitamin also plays a decisive role in the growth of bones.

Milk provides an organism protein for growth, and carbohydrates give your child the energy in which he needs all day.

If the baby's body initially receives the required amount of calcium in the body, there is evidence that it will have fewer risks to appear hypertension, stroke, a thick bowel cancer and fractures of the thigh in a mature and old age.

After the introduction of cow's milk, it is not necessary to stop feeding the child with breasts. WHO specialists recommend continuing and in the second year of the child's life.

How much milk should drink a child?

The child after 1 year can get enough calcium and vitamin D, drinking 1 or 1.5 cup of cow's milk or the equivalent amount of other dairy products (yogurt, cottage cheese, kefir). At the age of 2 years, the child must receive 400 ml of milk or other milk-based products daily.

Do not offer a child more than 800 ml of milk per day. If the kid still wants to drink - offer water.

Dairy products that are produced for children are adapted for the digestive path of the child.

Children's milk must answer multiple requirements.

  1. Highest quality. Baby milk is made from high-quality cow's milk from cows that are fully healthy and stay in environmentally clean areas.
  2. Monitoring sanitary and hygienic conditions. Baby milk is prepared in special workshops, separate from the production of milk for adults
  3. Microbiological control. Accidental attention is paid to microbiological data control. The number of bacteria in a certain amount of milk is strictly regulated.
  4. Control of fatness. Borders of fatness for children up to three years - 2.5 - 3.5%.
  5. Control of the acidity of the medium. There are special requirements for the acidity limits that are presented by fermented milk products for children. The acidity of children's products should be no higher than 100 degrees of Turner.
  6. Ultrapasterization. Milk is specially treated with ultra-high temperatures (125 - 138 ºС) 2 - 4 seconds in order to preserve the maximum benefit. After that it is quickly cooled. Thus, all pathogenic organisms are destroyed, useful components are simultaneously saved.
  7. Packaging. The final product is packaged in a aseptic tetra pack, which prevents re-entering harmful bacteria inside after packing. In this packaging, the dairy product remains fresh and safe for several months.

Is it possible to give a one-year-old child skim cow milk?

Children of this age requires a high fat content in milk to maintain the normal weight and the optimal level of absorption by the body of vitamins A, D. When the child will be 2 years old, you can translate it to skim milk if there is a good increase in growth and weight.

Exceptions are possible. Your child's doctor can recommend to give milk with low fat (2 percent) after 1 year, if the child suffers overweight or obesity or there is a genetic predisposition to obesity, high cholesterol level, the probability of cardiovascular diseases.

What to do when the child refuses to drink a whole cow's milk?

Some kids drink the cow's milk immediately, but others refuse him, because the cow's milk has another texture, taste and even the temperature than the maternal milk.

If it concerns your baby, first try the cow's milk to mix with breast or with a mixture. Try one piece of milk into three parts or mixtures. Then slowly shift the ratio until it drinks one hundred percent cow's milk.

But there are other ways to include cow milk in your child's diet. For example:

  • add milk to porridge;
  • suggest a child yoghurt, cottage cheese, pudding or milk cocktails as a snack;
  • make soup with milk instead of water.

If the child drank a mixture, which is based on cow's milk, then it will carry the usual cow's milk without any problems.
