Patient's question:
2 months, I've been feeding him formula milk, and now I've noticed he's lacking calcium. What should I do now? Is the formula milk not good? Onset time and the kind of assistance you care about: Should I switch to a different formula milk...Doctor's answer:
Whether it's fresh milk or yogurt, neither is suitable for babies to drink at this stage. The best drink for babies at this time is breast milk, followed by formula milk.Milk secreted by mothers 7 days (or 12 days) after childbirth is called colostrum. Due to its high content of beta-carotene, colostrum appears yellow, is slightly thick, and is in small quantities (2 to 20 milliliters per feeding). Compared to mature milk after the full moon, colostrum has lower fat and sugar content, making it suitable for newborn digestion and absorption. However, it has a higher protein content and contains 20 to 40 times more immune globulins that help fight diseases than mature milk. As a result, babies fed breast milk have a much higher incidence of illness compared to artificially fed infants. It is recommended to breastfeed!
