A balanced diet is an important part of a child’s life, as it has a significant impact on his physical and also intellectual development. Often, the transition to artificial feeding is a necessary measure for the mother, so the choice of a suitable nutritional formula must be done very carefully. Today we will talk about two products from the world famous company - NAN and Nestogen. What are the features of each and which option is better? More on this later.

Infant formula NAN 1

This mixture is an adapted substitute that is as close as possible to the composition of human breast milk

, and is intended for babies from birth. The mixture belongs to the premium class of baby food and promotes optimal mental and physical development of the child from the first months.

Until six months, most parents try not to introduce additional complementary foods, so most often it is used as the only source of food components. This mixture can be stored for up to two years without losing its beneficial properties. Scientists are constantly improving milk formulas of the National Academy of Sciences, introducing patented and new technologies, including:

• Protect start
  - from the first months strengthens the baby's immunity and promotes its healthy development.
• Bifidogenic effect
  is a technology for maintaining the correct microflora in the baby’s intestines.
• DHA, ARA
  are acids that are necessary for the proper development of the child’s brain and vision from the first months.
• Opti pro
  is a component that is responsible for the optimal amount of protein that is absorbed by the baby’s body and is responsible for its proper growth and development.

Infant formula NAN 2

Like the NAN 1 mixture, NAN 2 contains a number of components and scientific developments aimed at the comfortable development of the baby’s growing body and is classified as a premium mixture. However, it is intended for the next stage in development, which occurs after six months. The optimal amount of protein is concentrated here, which is responsible for the active growth of babies in their first year of life.

If the first formula is often used as supplementary feeding (if there is not enough breast milk) or as a complete replacement (when there is no milk at all), then the NAN 2 milk formula is given to the baby along with his first complementary foods - various cereals, purees and other products. Powdered milk formula NAN 2 is also full of multi-directional technologies that allow the mixture to be as similar as possible to mother's milk. Here are some of the technologies that NAS 2 contains:

• OPTIPRO
  is something that is found only in Nan milk formula and controls the absorption of exactly the amount of protein that the baby needs at his stage of development.
• Live bifidobacteria BL
  - are responsible for the natural strengthening of children's immunity.
• DHA and ARA
  are acids that promote the proper development of the baby’s vision and brain.

Formula NAN 2 400g from 6 months

NAN 2 OPTIPRO is a milk formula intended for feeding children from 6 months of age as a milk component of the child’s diet along with complementary feeding products. Cannot serve as a substitute for breast milk during the first 6 months of life. Provides your child with all the nutrients necessary for his harmonious physical and mental development.

• OPTIPRO is an optimized protein complex found in the NAN blend. Thanks to it, the child receives exactly the amount of protein needed for optimal growth and development, reducing the risk of overloading immature organs.
• Live bifidobacteria BL help strengthen your baby's immunity.
• DHA and ARA are two special fatty acids present in breast milk that play an important role in the development of the baby's immune system and promote brain and vision development.

Protein has been scientifically proven to be one of the most important nutrients for your baby's growth and development, including the development of the brain, muscle tissue and other organs. The quality and quantity of protein your child gets from food will help lay a strong foundation for his health now and in the future. Properly selected protein in the mixture promotes the development of immunity and the development of digestion, as well as healthy weight gain.

That's why proteins are called the "building blocks of life" and only with the highest quality protein can you lay a strong foundation for your child's development.

What are the differences between dry milk formulas NAN 1 and NAN 2?

Having familiarized yourself in detail with each of the milk mixtures, you can come to the following conclusions. Obviously, each of them corresponds to its own stage of development of the baby and is recommended at a certain stage of life. Thus, NAN 1 milk formula is prescribed at the very first stage and is recommended for infants from 0 years of age.

Powdered milk formula NAN 2, in turn, is the next step and is used as supplementary feeding for babies from 6 months. This is their main, but not the only difference. They also differ from each other in that if the first mixture is recommended as the only one in the baby’s diet, then the second is intended as one of the components of the baby’s diet. This is due to the fact that most parents already begin to introduce the first complementary foods after six months and one milk formula is no longer enough for the child.

Warning

The ideal food for an infant is mother's milk. Breastfeeding should continue for as long as possible. Before deciding to bottle-feed using infant formula, seek advice from a healthcare professional. Age restrictions are indicated on product packaging in accordance with the law.

NAN 2 OPTIPRO formula is intended for feeding healthy children from 6 months of age, when breastfeeding is not possible. NAN 2 OPTIPRO cannot serve as a substitute for human milk during the first 6 months of life.

The product is made from raw materials produced by specially selected suppliers, without the use of genetically modified ingredients, preservatives, colors or flavors.

Which milk formula should I choose?

Having familiarized yourself with these formulas in detail, parents will certainly be able to decide on the choice of milk formula, commensurate with the age of the child. But it is worth noting that in addition to numerical designations, NAS mixtures may also differ in composition and series. For example, there are lactose-free formulas intended for infants with congenital lactose intolerance. They can be for both the first and second and subsequent stages of development.

Starting from the second stage of development, the baby can already be given fermented milk mixtures, which are also available in the NAS line. When choosing, first of all you should be guided by the age indicated on the can. But it’s also worth paying attention to what’s written on it. In this case, you need to rely on the advice of your pediatrician.

Good afternoon

When my baby turned half a year old, we were just starting to supplement the formula with only 1-2 feedings per day, so we were quite happy with the formula with number one. Moreover, at first it was Nutrilon Comfort 1, then Ordinary Nutrilon. And only on the third attempt we were lucky and through trial and error we found the right one - Nan 1.

By that time the child was already more than eight months old. At the same time, supplementary feeding with the mixture was also approximately 1-2 times a day, the rest of the time there were vegetables, cereals, cottage cheese and breast milk. When the baby was nine months old, I asked our pediatrician about the formula, because it was high time to switch to number 2! To which I received the answer that this can be done, only children endure this transition often painfully. Again, tummy problems, diarrhea, constipation, restless nights and other delights may arise.

But I decided to take a risk and move on.

Appearance…

The difference from its counterparts is minimal - the number 2 on the front side of the can.

Once again, I would like to note a convenient special “floor” for storing a measuring spoon. Many manufacturers have not thought through this point at all!

How to fill a spoon without a slide...

Compound….

In fact, there is only one NAS. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 differ in the ratio of nutrients.

I wrote it out specifically for comparison.

NAS 1 b

- 9.6
f
- 27.7
y
- 57.8 NAN 2
b
-10.82
f
-21.5
y
- 60.79 NAN 3 (hypoallergenic)
b
-14.8
f
- 22.7
y
- 57, 5. The same goes for vitamins and minerals.

All contain vitamins, bifidobacteria, optipro protein, smart lipids, amino acids and minerals.

Nan 2 contains more carbohydrates and fats because the child moves more at this age and needs additional energy.

The composition is generally good. Naturally, I am confused by the presence of palm olein. But it is found in almost all infant formulas.

Cooking...

With this, too, everything is standard: wash your hands, wash and sterilize bottles and nipples, boil water, cool it and measure it, add the mixture according to the instructions. Check the temperature of the finished mixture. All! Now you can feed.

According to the instructions, you should feed 210 ml (seven spoons of dry mixture) twice a day.

It dissolves very well in water. No lumps, no sediment, no foam! Everything is fine.

Transition from NAS 1 to NAS 2….

There is no need to switch, as pediatricians advise, from a mixture from one manufacturer to a mixture from another. You can immediately replace all feedings with another number, the manufacturer and the mixture are the same.

But I was afraid to do this, especially since I had a large 800 gram jar of one at home. I bought a small jar of two and, crossing my fingers, first gave literally 60 ml for testing, naturally, this amount is very small for one feeding, so I diluted the one additionally in another bottle.

I didn’t feel much difference either in the child’s behavior or well-being, so I boldly replaced all feedings with NAN 2.

I didn't notice any differences in taste either. Purely in appearance, NAN 2 is slightly yellower than NAN 1.

Three days later, small red rashes appeared on the child’s face. We began to reconsider our diet. They didn’t think about the mixture right away.

A day later the rash was already in the perineum and the child became restless.

I decided to feed one again. The rashes are gone.

They did not feed this mixture again.

Result: Give a positive rating to NAN 2 infant formula, I can’t raise my hand! At the moment we are eating a mixture of NAN 3 hypoallergenic (I chose it not by chance) - everything is fine. No diathesis, no problems with the stomach and stool. It's a shame that NAN 2 caused an allergic reaction.

I wish all mothers to feed their babies breast milk for at least one year! And there are no problems with infant formula! Breastfeeding is wonderful! I was not very lucky and the milk ran out earlier than I would have liked!

Thank you for your attention!

Price for 400 grams: about 500 rubles.

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

:

Attention!

Since all children are individual and at different stages of development need different amounts of components, vitamins and microelements, their quantity varies. To take into account the characteristics of all babies, Nestle specialists have developed a whole range of infant formula and baby milk for children under two years of age.

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"

Used if there is a family history of allergies 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.

The baby's digestion process becomes faster and less expensive

due to the fact that part of the work of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract is taken over by sourdough bacteria.

• NAN Fermented Milk 1 – for newborns up to 6 months (price per 400 g ~470-600 rubles).
• NAN Fermented Milk 2 – for babies aged from six months to 12 months (price per 400 grams ~ 500-600 rubles).
• NAN Fermented Milk 3 – for children over one year old (price per 400 g ~ 470-570 rubles).

"Triple comfort"

Includes ingredients such as lactobacilli L.reuteri, “smart” lipids, hydrolyzed protein “Optipro”, probiotics, as well as an additional complex of vitamins and minerals, oligosaccharides, potato starch, which help eliminate functional digestive disorders leading to colic and constipation and disorders of intestinal microflora.

Contains palm oil. The mixture is designed for children from birth and has no age restrictions

.

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"

Designed for lactose intolerant infants

, 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.

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

, differing from each other both in composition and taste, so you can definitely choose the best option for you.

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.

Rules for using nutritional mixtures

In order for a baby to grow strong and healthy on artificial feeding, it is necessary to approach the selection of a suitable formula and its use with all responsibility. How to prepare, store formula and feed it to a baby? Remember simple rules:

1. When choosing a suitable mixture, first of all, focus on the age category of the baby (on the packaging of the product, the manufacturer always labels it from 1 to 4, depending on the age of the children for whom it is intended);
2. Before diluting the composition with water, carefully read the instructions with recommendations on the required amount;
3. Before preparing food for your baby, wash your hands thoroughly and do not forget to sterilize the dishes;
4. Use only boiled water at a comfortable temperature (about 35-45 0C);
5. Before using the diluted mixture, shake it thoroughly to avoid lumps;
6. One portion of the mixture cannot be reused (under no circumstances leave the mixture diluted with water “for later”).

How to determine what food is suitable for your baby?

The main sign that the food has been chosen correctly is satisfaction after eating, as well as balanced growth and development of the baby. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the product should not cause an allergic reaction.

There are problems that can be encountered due to choosing the wrong product

. They can be constipation, diarrhea, dysbacteriosis, gas, colic, regurgitation, problems with weight gain and others.

The Nestle line of baby food products provides a huge selection of therapeutic and preventive formulas that help cope with these obstacles (their varieties and indications for use are described above). However, when the first symptoms of such diseases appear, you should immediately consult a doctor. Nan formulas are very popular among mothers. Maybe you should try it too?

Mother's milk is the most valuable and healthy product for a newborn baby. But sometimes it is not enough or it is impossible to breastfeed the baby. That is why infant formulas have been developed that are adapted to the physiological needs of the infant.

One of the most famous brands of mixtures is NAN. They have been produced since 1962 by Nestlé. Every year, NAS products improved, new types of formula appeared for certain groups of children, taking into account their needs. The purpose of nutrition with mixtures is to normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, strengthen the infant’s immunity, and provide the body with all the substances necessary for growth.

Specialized food "Nan" for newborns

There are times when a child needs special nutrition designed to solve specific problems. First of all, this is important for newly born babies. For this reason, infant formula manufacturer Nan has expanded its product line with additional varieties.

1. Prenan. Sometimes children are born earlier than expected. Modern medicine allows babies to gain a foothold in our world. For some time they are kept in special incubators that create conditions similar to the mother’s womb. But they also need suitable nutrition. The mixture for premature newborns Prenan is supplemented with a complex of minerals and vitamins, so that the little body will have everything necessary for the formation of bone and muscle tissue and strengthening the immune system.

1. "Antireflux". In the first months of life, children are just getting better at digestion, and there are minor glitches. One of the problems for many parents is frequent burping of the baby. You can cope with this by choosing the right thing to feed your baby.

1. Alfare. Among the Nan mixtures there is also a food that, with the help of the necessary amino acids, has a healing effect on the intestines of babies and relieves them of diarrhea. Diarrhea threatens the newborn with dehydration, so such nutrition can prevent serious consequences. But you can start feeding a specialized type of formula only under the supervision of a pediatrician.

1. "Nan Premium" She also took care of the most demanding children. “Nan Premium” infant formula for newborn babies has the most extensive composition, which distinguishes it from all other types of baby food:

• skimmed milk;
• vegetable oils;
• whey purified from minerals;
• microelements;
• bacteria that normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
• nucleotides;
• fish fat;
• vitamins;
• carnitine;
• lycithin;
• taurine;
• inositol

It is important to note that this is not milk protein, but whey protein, so Nan Premium is hypoallergenic. In addition, the composition contains everything necessary for the full growth and development of newborns and to prevent various types of discomfort.

Criteria for choosing formula

When choosing a mixture, you need to consider some nuances:

• Child's age.
  Mixtures from the same manufacturer may be intended for different age categories. They are usually divided into several groups: children from 0 to 6 months, from 6 months to a year, and over 1 year.
• Best before date.
  Typically, the manufacturer writes the date of manufacture of the mixture on the bottom of the jar or on the lid, and indicates the period and storage conditions. If the product was stored in violation of the instructions, it is better not to purchase it.
• Compound.
  For most mixtures it is quite similar. Differences may be in the type of proteins and fats used.

Nestozhen mixtures: features, varieties

Nestozhen mixtures, created specifically for babies, were developed by the Swiss brand Nestle. The product was developed as a primary/additional source of nutrition, as well as a valuable “supplier” of a vitamin and mineral complex that would help the baby develop. Nestozhen infant formula is based on whey protein, maltodextrin (molasses with a sweetish taste), prebiotics (normalize the digestion process, stimulate the gastrointestinal tract as a whole).

ON A NOTE. Experts note that large amounts of maltodextrin negatively affect the baby’s health. In addition, Nestozhen does not contain the substances DHA and ARA, which contribute to the development of hearing and vision of the baby.

Nestozhen milk formulas are divided into several types depending on the age of the baby:

1. Nestogen 1 – for newborns aged 0 to 6 months. The mixture contains a large amount of iron, zinc, taurine, lactose, acids, etc. This is an excellent “starter” option that will help the baby adapt to a new type of diet, stimulate the development of the nervous system, and normalize the child’s stool.
2. Nestogen 2 – suitable for babies from 6 to 12 months. The key component is ground cereals (rice), as well as milk protein, lactose, fatty acids, etc. Excellent for evening/night feeding as it provides intense saturation.
3. Nestogen 3 – intended for babies from 12 to 18 months. The composition is rich in prebiotics, vitamins, fatty acids, and dietary fiber. The latter, in particular, help normalize stool. The product perfectly stimulates the digestion process and is suitable as complementary food. With regular use, the baby will sleep well at night and become calmer.
4. Nestogen 4 – intended for the age group from 1.5 to 2 years. It differs from the previous type of product in the increased amount of prebiotics, microelements and vitamins.

Types of nutrition from Nestlé

The first NAS mixtures were developed for healthy infants who needed artificial feeding. They contain all the substances necessary for the growth and mental development of the baby (vitamins, minerals, taurine, fish oil, iron).

The main NAS lines are widely used:

• NAN 1 Premium (from 0 to 6 months);
• NAN 2 (from six months to a year);
• NAN 3 (1-1.5 years);
• NAN 4 (from 1.5 years).

NAN 1 Premium

Dry formula, which is recommended for feeding healthy babies up to 6 months. Provides the body with vitamins and minerals that activate its protective functions and maintain normal intestinal microflora. The composition of the NAS mixture of this type is much richer than usual.

It is based on whey protein. It also contains skim milk, lecithin, and vegetable oil.

Hypoallergenic

Produced for two age groups NAS 1 (up to 6 months) and NAS 2 (from 6 months). It is also based on whey protein. It contains amino acids that reduce the risk of allergic reactions in the baby. That is, allergens are removed from the protein using special technologies and it becomes low-allergenic. Recommended for children with signs of food allergies, as well as for the prevention of constipation and intestinal colic.

This mixture is especially suitable for those who are hypersensitive to cow protein.

Hypoallergenic NAN contains vitamins, minerals, lactose, protein, taurine, carnitine. The mixture is also suitable for feeding healthy children without allergies.

Note!

It is not recommended to give this type of formula to a child unless prescribed by a specialist.

Pre-NAN

A special formula for children born prematurely and underweight. Pre-NAN contains fatty acids that are easily absorbed by the baby’s weak body and are necessary for its full development. 70% of the composition is whey protein, necessary for the normal formation of muscle tissue.

Lactose-free

Suitable for children with lactose intolerance.

It is also recommended for diarrhea of ​​varying severity. Due to the low osmolarity of carbohydrates in the mixture, it alleviates the severity of diarrhea and promotes normal bowel function. Nucleotides help strengthen the immune system and restore tissue.

Fermented milk

Nan fermented milk mixture is recommended to be given to young children with gastrointestinal dysfunction, as well as during antibiotic therapy, which leads to disruption of the intestinal microflora. To ensure that protein is easily absorbed, it contains beneficial bacteria. They alleviate the baby’s condition with infectious intestinal diseases and dysbacteriosis. Pediatricians advise giving the mixture to infants with severe colic and constipation.

To maximize the benefits of feeding NAS milk formulas to children, they must be used correctly:

• You can only give formula that is appropriate for the child’s age. For older children, larger fractions are made, and digestion of large particles of the mixture by babies under 6 months will be difficult.
• Before feeding, you must wash your hands so that pathogenic microflora does not get into the mixture.
• The bottle must be sterilized (boil in water for 5 minutes) before each feeding. The pacifier only needs to be dipped into boiling water a few times.
• The water for preparing the mixture must be boiled, 35-40 o C. It cannot be boiled a second time.
• Pour the mixture into a special measuring spoon according to the dosage indicated on the package.
• Place the nipple and cap on the bottle and shake until there are no lumps left.
• The package with the dry mixture must be hermetically sealed to prevent excess moisture from being absorbed.
• The remaining prepared mixture after feeding should be thrown away and not reused.

Instructions for using Lazolvan children's cough syrup are described on the page.

Preparation

1. Wash your hands before preparing baby formula.
2. Wash the bottle, nipple and cap thoroughly to ensure that no traces of milk remain on them.
3. Boil them for 5 minutes. Cover until ready to use.
4. Boil drinking water for 5 minutes and then cool to 37°C.
5. Using the feeding chart as a guide, pour the accurately measured amount of water into the boiled bottle.
6. Using the feeding chart as a guide, add the exact number of scoops of powder according to your baby's age. Use only the level measuring spoon in the jar.
7. Shake the bottle until the powder is completely dissolved.
8. After use, place the measuring spoon on the lip of the jar as shown in the instructions.
9. After preparing the mixture, the jar of powder should be tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry place.

Warning. The mixture should be prepared immediately before feeding. Follow cooking instructions exactly. The diluted mixture remaining after feeding cannot be stored or subsequently used. During feeding, it is necessary to support the child so that he does not choke. As your baby gets older, switch to cup feeding.

Warning . The use of unboiled water and unboiled bottles, as well as improper storage, transportation, preparation and feeding can lead to adverse consequences for the child’s health.

Note. To preserve live bacteria, boiled water should be cooled to approximately body temperature (37 ℃) and then dry powder should be added. To prepare the mixture, use the included measuring spoon, filled level. Diluting the wrong amount of powder - more or less than the amount indicated in the table - can lead to dehydration or malnutrition in the child.

These proportions should not be changed without the advice of a medical professional. At this age, it is often recommended to gradually introduce cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat and fish into the child’s diet.

Because children's individual needs vary, seek advice from a healthcare professional. If your doctor recommends introducing new foods earlier, reduce the amount of formula as recommended.

How to properly introduce formula into a baby's diet

The best formula to choose for a child can only be determined by a pediatrician who is well aware of his health and condition. You cannot experiment on your own and regularly change one mixture to another.

Before introducing NAN mixture into your diet, you must adhere to the following recommendations from pediatricians:

• Strictly follow the instructions for use, diluting the product with water.
• The first dose of the mixture introduced into the diet should not exceed 90 ml.
• At the same time, there is no need to give your baby other new foods that can provoke an allergic reaction.
• With a mixed diet (formula and breast milk), the mother must strictly limit the diet.
• For the first 3 days after introducing formula into the diet, you need to monitor the child’s condition (for abnormal bowel movements, rashes, colic).

If an allergy appears while consuming the mixture, it must be changed to another (as recommended by the pediatrician).

Product cost

The price of the NAN mixture is determined depending on the type of product and the components in its composition. It can vary between 400-700 rubles. The usual formula for healthy children NAN 1 will cost parents 400-500 rubles. Medicinal mixtures (hypoallergenic, fermented milk) – 600-700 rubles.

Unfortunately, breastfeeding is not always possible. What to do in this case? How to understand the variety of mixtures and choose the one that would satisfy the needs of the baby?

Today we will talk about NAS infant formula.

“Nan” food for children with allergies

Despite the fact that strict requirements are observed in the production of baby food, some children may develop allergies.
Up to a year, a newborn is just adapting to various components in food, and the tendency to undesirable reactions is many times higher. Therefore, among Nan’s products there is a special type of mixture that is hypoallergenic. “Nan-1” can be used to feed babies from the very first days of life, “Nan-2” is included in the diet of six-month-old children. The composition of hypoallergenic mixtures is supplemented with amino acids that counteract the child’s possible allergies. However, even these mixtures contain cow's milk protein. It is precisely this that the body of a newborn baby cannot absorb. For such children, we have released a lactose-free infant formula. The dairy component is excluded from its composition, maltodextrin, which improves intestinal function, and nucleotides, which strengthen the immune system, are added.

Why can't you feed a newborn baby cow's milk?

The answer is simple - it’s all about the composition of the milk. Cow's milk contains twice as much protein as breast milk. The amount of minerals - salts, phosphorus and calcium - exceeds the permissible concentration for children three times. This composition is necessary for the rapid growth of the calf and is unacceptable for the development of the child.

You should not use cow's milk even in diluted form, because the protein in cow's milk is not digested properly. Its accumulation leads to allergic reactions and digestive problems, colic. The child’s immature kidneys cannot cope with excess nutrients. And low iron levels increase the risk of anemia.

What is OPTIPRO protein?

Protein is one of the most important nutrients, a building material necessary for the growth of a child. It’s not for nothing that they are called “the building blocks of life.” Properly balanced protein supplied from food promotes the development of the immune and digestive systems and uniform weight gain.

Rational nutrition in the first 2 years of a child’s life ensures his health for life.

The composition of NAN milk formulas includes OPTIPRO. This is an optimized protein complex, which is found only in NAN Optipro infant formulas. Thus, the baby receives enough of the “right” protein, and the internal organs work without overload.

Compound

The main composition of Nan infant formula includes substances essential for a growing organism:

• minerals;
• iron (prevents the development of anemia);
• vitamins;
• taurine;
• fish oil (helps absorb calcium);
• nucleotides;
• lactose.

The main ingredients are: milk, whey and whey protein. Milk protein causes an allergic reaction in some babies, which is why there are negative reviews from parents. But the company has developed a wide range of products and took into account the characteristics of various children, including those susceptible to allergies.

What else is included in NAN baby food?

“NAN” formulas are highly adapted, which means their composition is as close as possible to the composition of breast milk. To do this, I introduced live bifidobacteria BL, fatty acids DHA and ARA, vitamins and minerals.

Bifidobacteria normalize digestion and populate the intestines with “healthy” bacteria. DHA and ARA are two special fatty acids that play a huge role in the development of immunity and contribute to the development of the child’s brain and vision. It is not for nothing that adapted formulas are also called breast milk substitutes.

Types of NAN mixtures

It’s easy to understand the range of products, because each age has its own mixture.

NAN mixture 1

This is the first mixture in the NAN product line. It is designed for babies from birth to 6 months. Produced using proven technology without the use of genetically modified organisms, preservatives, or dyes. The “NAN 1” mixture provides the child with all the nutrients in the required quantities for harmonious development up to 6 months.

NAN 2 mixture

Your baby is six months old, he is growing before your eyes. The child already knows a lot and brings new successes every day. The baby's needs change, the first complementary foods are introduced. The NAN 2 mixture is suitable for children from 6 months to 1 year and fully satisfies the increased needs for nutrients. The carbohydrate component is represented by maltodextrin, which is easier to digest and less likely to cause allergic reactions.

Mixture Nan 3, 4

The child is already a year old, this is a period of high intellectual and physical activity of the baby. Taking care of your health is also necessary at this age. The baby's diet is expanded, but breastfeeding or breastfeeding is also maintained. For older children, the mixture “NAN 3” is suitable, and from 18 months – “NAN 4”. These mixtures help strengthen the immune system and prevent the development of caries in baby teeth.

NAN mixtures: features, varieties, rules of application

NAS infant formulas are not only one of the most famous, but also one of the most popular products on the baby food market. The creator of nutritional formulas for newborns is the famous brand Nestle, which launched the first series of products under the Nan brand back in 1962.

NAN infant formula contains a complex of substances necessary for the baby to fully develop and grow rapidly: minerals, lactose, fish oil, taurine, nucleotides, iron, etc. The main components are whey protein, milk and whey. Since the protein present in milk causes allergies in some children, the company has developed a whole line of products for babies with different needs. To make it easier to select a NAN blend, several categories have been created

according to the child's age:

1. “1” – for babies up to 6 months – the main task is the formation of immunity in a fragile child;
2. “2” – for babies from 6 months to 12 months – the composition is similar to mixture No. 1, but its caloric content is increased;
3. “3” - created for babies aged 1 to 1.5 years - contains substances that stimulate the digestive system and prevent the occurrence of caries;
4. “4” – for children from 1.5 years old – used as a supplement to the main diet.

Separately, we can highlight the fermented milk series

, which is also divided into several types depending on the age of the baby. In some cases, children require special nutrition, and NAS tried to create a product that would fully satisfy young consumers:

1. Prenan - a special mineral and vitamin complex in the composition is intended for babies who were born ahead of schedule, and allows them to grow fully, developing musculoskeletal tissue;
2. Alfare – thanks to special amino acids, children’s intestines are actively restored, relieving them of diarrhea. Since the latter is dangerous for newborns due to dehydration, Alfare from NAS prevents unpleasant consequences for the health of the baby;
3. Antireflux - the product was created for those cases when babies have a digestive failure and frequent regurgitation occurs;
4. Premium – the product has an expanded composition and is suitable for the most demanding babies;
5. Nan-1/Nan-2 – the hypoallergenic composition of these two products makes them an ideal option for newborns who find it difficult to adapt to a new diet.

Other types of NAN products

1. "NAN is hypoallergenic." Produced using a special technology, the protein of this mixture is partially broken down and hydrolyzed. This means that it is easier to digest, helping to avoid such troubles as constipation and colic, allergic reactions. Available in two types: Nan 1 hypoallergenic and Nan 2 hypoallergenic, for babies up to six months and from 6 months to a year.
2. "NAN fermented milk with bifidobacteria." Often the digestive system of a toddler malfunctions. “NAS Fermented Milk” will come to the rescue. The milk formula contains special lactic acid bacteria, which will help cope with constipation, restore microflora after intestinal infections, and treatment with antibiotics. Available in two types, for two age groups.
3. "NAN lactose-free." Therapeutic mixture for children with lactose intolerance. Can be used for diarrhea due to its special composition. The low osmolarity of the mixture helps combat diarrhea, and a balanced composition is necessary for the harmonious development of the baby.
4. "Pre-NAN." Made for babies who were born prematurely or with low body weight. The needs of these children are very different.

The cost of mixtures differs slightly on different sites, on average the price starts at 400 rubles per jar. Special medicinal mixtures cost twice as much as regular ones.
