NAN 1 OptiPro

Food for newborns

The main task of the mixture is to qualitatively replace natural nutrition, making it as close as possible in composition and benefits to breast milk. As the baby grows, the quality components of mother's milk change, and the same applies to formula. The number “1” on the Nan OptiPro package means that it can be fed to infants at the very first stage of their life, that is, from 0 to 6 months. This recommendation should be followed because... The digestive system of a young child is not adapted to the perception of a mixture developed for older children.

From numerous reviews of the Nan OptiPro 1 formula, it is clear that although it does not replace breast milk 100%, it is very close to it in composition.

Kinds

"OptiPro 1,2,3"

Mixtures of all OPTIPRO groups contain only natural sunflower, high-oleic, coconut and rapeseed oils , without the use of palm oil, which is harmful to the body. Also in this category, the manufacturer introduced more phosphorus, calcium, vitamins A and E and pantenthenic acid and reduced the iron content.

"Hypoallergenic"

It is used if there is a family predisposition to an allergy to protein or cow's milk . Reduces the risk of allergic reactions due to easy absorption due to the use of proteins susceptible to hydrolysis. Sometimes it is used as a transitional mixture from medicinal complementary foods to conventional adapted ones. “NAS Hypoallergenic 1,2,3” contains live bifidobacteria BL, which help improve the child’s immunity.

"Sour milk"

Suitable for babies who have undergone antibiotic-based therapy and are prone to problems with the stomach and intestinal tract. Helps improve baby's digestion and normalize microflora , protects against harmful intestinal infections, and also strengthens the immune system.

It contains special organisms that trigger the fermentation process of the milk component, which distinguish mixtures of this type from other NAN products.

The baby's digestion process becomes faster and less expensive due to the fact that part of the work of the digestive enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract is taken over by the starter bacteria.

Prices (for 400 grams) vary from 630 to 730 rubles.

"Anti-colic"

This mixture has a very similar composition to NAN Triple Comfort. The only difference is that this mixture does not contain probiotics (oligosaccharides) . The product reduces the risk of allergies and food discomfort due to partially hydrolyzed protein. This type of mixture also has no age limits.

Price (for 400 g): 580-610 rubles.

"Antireflux"

Recommended for children under 6 months of age if parents have numerous complaints about the baby spitting up. It is classified as a therapeutic food, which is not used as the main diet, but acts as an additive to breastfeeding or artificial feeding . By increasing the amount of starch, the viscosity of the product increases, which forms a dense clot in the stomach, prevents regurgitation and provides a long-lasting feeling of fullness.

Price for 400 g: from 700 to 790 rubles.

"Lactose-free"

Intended for infants with lactose intolerance , it helps the child cope with the recovery of the body after suffering from diarrhea. The ratio of whey proteins and casein is 60/40, and differs from “NAN”1 by an increase in the proportion of casein. Lactose has been replaced with glucose syrup, which is much easier to digest. Designed for children from birth and is not divided by age.

Price for 400 g: from 650 to 850 rubles.

"Pre NUN" and "PreNAN 0"

Promotes optimal development and growth of premature babies . Ensures protein and essential substances are consumed as required. An optimal balance of calcium and fluoride contributes to the proper formation of bone tissue. Doctors recommend using the product until the child reaches a weight of 1800 g, after which they advise replacing it with a regular adapted formula. Contains structured palm oil.

• PreNAN 0 is intended for children under 1800 g to achieve it.
• PreNAN is intended for feeding a baby over 1800 g to reach a weight of 2500-3000 g.

Price for 400 g: 820-940 rub.

"PreNAN breast milk fortifier"

Due to the higher needs for proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins, as well as calories, experts advise adding a fortifier to breast milk to speed up the growth of premature or low birth weight babies . In this way, the child will receive all the components necessary for his development. Milk fortification is necessary for a child if:

• Body weight at birth is less than 1800 g.
• Gestational age (that is, age at birth) is less than 34 weeks.
• Intrauterine growth retardation in a premature baby aged 2 weeks and older.

A little about the manufacturer and brand

For about 150 years, it has been engaged in innovative developments in the field of baby nutrition. More than half a century ago, she managed to create the NAS brand, under which the first baby food products were produced, which were later loved by many customers.

As a result of laboratory research and scientific experiments, a unique innovative technology OPTIPRO was created in 2000. It is based on reducing the amount of protein in the mixture without losing the balance of amino acids necessary for the baby’s growth. The development of OPTIPRO has become the main feature of the Nan 1 OptiPro mixture and other products in this line.

Appearance

The Nan 1 OptiPro mixture, according to reviews from regular customers, has undergone design changes. Now on tin cans weighing 400 or 800 grams there is a bright and clearly visible inscription “OPTIPRO”. Previously, only the brand name – NAN – was indicated on the packaging in the center, and “OPTIPRO” was barely visible in the lower corner. The lid has also changed. She became transparent. Now you can see through it the measuring spoon, which is separated from the mixture by a foil partition. Therefore, there is no need to look for it inside the jar, violating the sterility of the product.

How to dilute baby food to prepare it?

1. First, you need to carefully study the instructions, which indicate in what proportions the mixture should be diluted with water, as well as the shelf life of open and closed packaging.
2. Prepare everything you need for preparation: a bottle, a measuring spoon, water and the mixture itself.
3. For production, use only sterilized water; before preparation, you should thoroughly wash your hands with soap.
4. Do not use hot or unboiled water. The optimal temperature of the mixture is 35-45 degrees.
5. The mixture in the bottle should be shaken well so that it has a uniform structure and is free of lumps.
6. You should not leave the prepared milk for reuse; it is intended for one time use. Carefully calculate product volumes. On average, toddlers consume 120-240 ml of milk, depending on age and level of development.

Reviews about the composition

In addition to the appearance, the composition of the Nan 1 OptiPro mixture has also changed. Reviews say that the milk protein complex has become slightly different, and some useful substances have changed their percentages. In the new mixture, the amount of phosphorus, calcium, vitamin A, E, pantothenic acid has increased, but iron has decreased. Parents who initially gave their baby “Nan 1” can immediately and in full switch to the “Nan 1 OptiPro” formula.

Reviews of the composition and reviews of the use of Nan milk say that it is rich in vitamins and minerals that help strengthen the immune system. The baby’s age-related nutritional needs are met through such product components as:

• OPTIPRO is a qualitatively and quantitatively balanced protein complex. Its task is to supply as much protein as is needed for the baby’s full growth and development, without overloading his body. With its help, the mixture is easily absorbed.
• Live bifidobacteria BL - strengthen the immune system, beneficial for intestinal microflora.
• Fatty acids DHA, ARA - they are also present in breast milk. Aimed at developing the central nervous system, brain, vision and muscles.
• Vitamins and minerals.

The fat composition of the milk includes fish oil and vegetable oils - coconut, soybean, sunflower. The carbohydrate components of the mixture are represented by lactose and maltodextrin. They give the child long-term satiety, provide the necessary energy, and add thickness and sweetness to the product.

The absence of sucrose in the mixture positively distinguishes it from similar products.

Compound

The mixture includes:

• Whey and skim milk;
• Sunflower, soybean and coconut oils;
• Lactose, molasses, fish oil, soy lecithin, citric acid, bifidobacteria B.lactis, nucleotides;
• L-phenylalanine, L-histidine, L-carnitine;
• sulfates of zinc, copper, manganese, iron;
• magnesium, potassium, sodium chlorides;
• hydroxides and citrates of calcium and potassium;
• sodium phosphate and selenate, potassium iodide;
• taurine, inositol.

The role of protein in child development

In the first two years of life, the child grows rapidly and develops both physically and intellectually. For this process to proceed harmoniously, the body needs to receive the right amount of protein. Its excess leads to metabolic disorders and too rapid growth. Lack of protein leads to poor growth and developmental delays.

Nestlé experts have developed a unique OPTIPRO formula, which is as close as possible to breast milk in terms of the amount of protein and the ratio of its whey and casein parts.

Pediatricians advise

From the reviews of pediatricians about the Nan OptiPro 1 mixture, it is clear that it is designed for healthy children. Its innovative formula ensures easy digestion and absorption of protein, good metabolism, development and growth of the child, and also prevents obesity.

Some doctors advise giving it already in the maternity hospital (of course, if there is no breast milk). However, some young mothers note in their reviews that this mixture strongly strengthens the stool of newborns (the newborn period ends on the 28th day from the date of birth). Here we can only say that each baby’s body is individual, which must be taken into account when selecting nutrition.

In general, according to pediatricians, the adapted formula for newborns “Nan 1 OptiPro” is a worthy replacement for breast milk. It contains everything that is so necessary for the harmonious physical and mental development of the baby.

Instructions for use

1. When feeding, hold the bottle at a slight angle.
2. Make sure that the milk completely fills the nipple.
3. The baby's head should be raised and not thrown back or to the side; do not hold the baby in a horizontal position.
4. Take breaks during feeding to allow your baby to burp. To do this, hold the child in an upright position for several seconds.
5. During the process, bubbles should form in the bottle. This means that you are doing everything right.

IMPORTANT! During feeding, it is important to establish an emotional connection with the baby so that she feels calm and comfortable. You cannot feed a baby in an irritated or upset state, just as you cannot force feed a newborn. Wait until he gets hungry.

What do parents say?

Moms like convenient, economical packaging, high-quality composition, pleasant smell, good taste. Powdered milk dissolves easily without forming lumps, children drink it with pleasure. In most cases, it does not cause allergies, does not tighten or swell the tummy. All these are the advantages of Nestlé’s new development.

However, some parents report that Nan 1 OptiPro formula causes constipation. There are not many reviews about this, but they exist. In this regard, consultants working on the Nestlé support line explain that in the first year of life, constipation in babies is not associated with any specific food products, but occurs due to the fact that newborns’ digestion has not yet stabilized.

All children are individual, so dry formula may be ideal for some, but cause constipation or allergies for others. If parents know that their child is prone to such problems, then he should be given specialized milk, for example hypoallergenic.

How to choose which one is better?

In an effort to choose the best option, you should not try to try all types. It is better to pay attention to the characteristics of your baby or contact a pediatrician . In order to avoid health problems for your baby, introduce artificial nutrition into the diet gradually, starting with 90 g per day. You need to know for sure that the baby is not allergic to one or another component.

Only if the allergic reaction does not manifest itself within three days can the baby be switched to this type of feeding. Also, the baby may simply not like the milk, in which case you will also have to look for another option.

NAN products offer a wide range of options that differ from each other in both composition and taste, so you can definitely choose the best option for you.

Difference from others

The main advantage is that they are sold in many stores and pharmacies, and this is one of the main criteria when choosing complementary foods for your baby, because it is very important to be able to purchase it at any time. The next difference is the composition. NAN products have advantages in terms of protein and protein/casein content.

All types of NAN mixtures contain the following main components:
