To replace female milk it is impossible - its properties are unique, - the professor speaks. - for this reason the primary goal of artificial feeding is the greatest possible approach of a food to the standard - to female milk

In olden time if the child lost mother or it for any reason could not nurse it, in a mouth to it put a small bottle with usual cow (or, as a last resort, goat) milk. In spite of the fact that milk of house cattle always was considered as natural and healthy nutrition, the percent of a children's mortality was very high.

The assortment of children's milk kitchens is often limited presently to milk, kefir and cottage cheese. These products can be very useful to children is more senior one year, but they in any way do not correspond to physiological features of children of the first year of a life as many organs at this age do not function yet in a full measure. Therefore physicians do not recommend to include milk products in a ration till 6-8 months. To this age it is possible to give to children special admixtures - "substitutes" of thoracal milk.

Artificial admixtures for children share on dry and liquid, fresh and sour-milk. However exists also their separation into two groups on approach degree to structure of natural female milk - adapted and partially adapted.
In the adapted admixtures the general maintenance of the fiber, which excess is lowered (for example, in the cow milk) adversely influences a metabolism, and also function of its digestive tube and kidneys. Thus milk Adeps is in full or in part replaced by an admixture of vegetable oils. In the majority of substitutes of female milk lactose which possesses a number of properties, important babies for physiological development contains also. For example, it promotes a calcium absorption, supports bifidobacteria growth, normalises a condition of a thick and thin intestine.

As a rule, such admixtures contain also necessary for health and development of children's organisms trace substances, first of all, iron, zinc, copper, iodine, fluorine, water-and liposoluble vitamins.

However, they possess lower cost and can be recommended to thoracal children about one year, especially in difficult social and economic conditions. Many admixtures which are let out by the domestic industry, for example, concern them.
From 5-6 months children can give so-called "the subsequent admixtures".

Them make from dry whole milk without addition of milk Serum, they contain starch, sucrose, and also necessary for the child in the second half of the year of a life vitamins, mineral substances and iron.

To enter into a ration those feedings or other admixtures it is possible only under the indicating of the doctor-pediatrist. As on occasion at the child allergic reaction can be shown.

If to give admixtures for any reason it is impossible (for example, owing to any force-majeur circumstances), it is possible to replace with their milk dissolved with water and kefir, advises Igor Jakovlevich - they have less adverse influence on an infantile organism, than whole-milk products. But thus it is necessary to supplement a food by Polyvitaminums necessarily.
