Milk formula NAN 1 OptiPro Hypoallergenic (NAN 1)

Every mother wants the best for her child, including trying to give everything for full growth and development. The best means for this in infancy is breast milk, but it is not always possible to ensure adequate breastfeeding. The reasons can be varied - maternal illness, lack of production or lack of milk.

In this case, infant formula comes to the rescue. A variety of artificial nutrition allows you to choose a formula, taking into account all the characteristics of the baby. Hypoallergenic formulas are intended for children with allergies. The Nestle® concern has developed “NAN Hypoallergenic” - this is a preventive nutrition based on partial hydrolysis of protein. Thanks to its composition with reduced allergenicity, it can be used by children at risk, children with mild forms of food allergies. The exceptional composition allows you to provide the child with everything necessary for the full development and formation of immunity.

Indications for use of "Nan GA"

The mixture should be used exclusively as prescribed by a doctor, and indications for this may include:

• predisposition to allergies from the first days of life;
• a mild form of food allergy that occurs after the introduction of complementary foods;
• mixed or artificial feeding with increased sensitization to cow's milk proteins;
• low birth weight child with a hereditary predisposition to atypical immune responses;
• violation of the metabolic functions of the body.

The created baby food fully meets all age-related needs of the child. Manufacturers try to bring it as close as possible in composition and functions to breast milk. But nothing can replace breast milk, so a woman must make every effort to maintain lactation for as long as possible.

During this period, it is important for the mother to have adequate nutrition, which includes a hypoallergenic menu. All new products should be introduced with a gradual increase in dose, and it is worth monitoring the reaction of the child’s body. It is necessary to choose food for complementary feeding and supplementary feeding, taking into account the age of the child; it is better to give preference to homemade products that correspond to the season. A small stomach does not need large amounts of food, and for the full development of a child, high-quality food is needed.

Self-administration of a GA mixture may lead to an exacerbation of allergy symptoms. The prophylactic composition cannot be used for moderate and severe manifestations of an allergic nature, since it is based on partial hydrolysis of protein. At such a moment, the body can even accept split protein particles as a foreign object.

Hydrolysis is the separation of protein into smaller peptides. Partial cleavage implies shortening of the molecular chain, but its weight remains quite large. This is what can cause a negative response from the body if there is a severe manifestation of allergies. In this case, the doctor prescribes a medicinal composition based on fully digested protein, which is completely safe for infants with ongoing allergies.

“Nan GA” should not be used if the baby is lactose intolerant, since its carbohydrate composition is represented by 100% lactose. In order to avoid negative consequences as a result of using the mixture, it should be used only as prescribed by a doctor.

Nutrilak is hypoallergenic - a medicinal, lactose-free mixture. Types and reviews of hypoallergenic mixtures

Nutrilak is a hypoallergenic mixture used for feeding children with allergic reactions of the body for various reasons.

Nutrilak is produced in Russia and is recommended for children at risk to prevent allergies.

Causes

In some cases, it is necessary to switch the child to hypoallergenic formulas. The reasons are: a small amount of milk consumed as food, allergies.

At the first appearance of symptoms: rash, itching or any other unusual changes, you should visit your pediatrician.

If, after an examination, the doctor determines that the child has an allergy, he should receive recommendations for creating a diet. Usually a hypoallergenic mixture is prescribed, selected depending on the specific situation.

An allergy to lactose occurs if close relatives have a similar pathology.

Nutrilak ha

Positive features

Taking hypoallergenic mixtures in food helps reduce allergic symptoms. Taking prophylactic mixtures helps prevent relapse and speeds up recovery from illness.

Some products, such as Nutrilak, promote a speedy return to normal eating.

Negative traits

• You need to try, because introducing hypoallergenic mixtures into food is problematic because they taste unpleasant. The reason is the presence of amino acids. Casein mixtures have a more unpleasant taste than others.
• They provoke regurgitation and sometimes constipation.
• High-quality hypoallergenic mixtures, like Nutrilak, have a high price.
• A formula-fed baby will sometimes have green stools, which is considered normal.

Visit to a specialist

Symptoms vary, so you should pay close attention to deviations in the child’s behavior or condition. If negative factors appear, you should visit a pediatrician who can determine the true cause of the problems.

The doctor will prescribe a diet for a child exposed to allergies. Switching to hypoallergenic formulas on your own can have a negative impact on your health.

The consequence of changes in the child’s body, according to Dr. Komarovsky, is poor digestion.

The situation arises when absorbing large portions at a fast pace.

Varieties

Mixtures are divided into three types: for treatment, for prevention, and combining. The latter include Hipp, Nutrilak and others. Number 1 on the package indicates a product that can be eaten from birth, 2 hypoallergenic formulas for children from 6 months, 3 hypoallergenic formulas for patients over 1 year.

Medicinal mixtures for allergies

Preventive hypoallergenic mixtures

The product is based on proteins broken down into peptides, which are easily digestible and do not provoke an allergic reaction. The possibility of an allergy is inherent in the molecular mass of the peptides: the larger the mass, the higher the chance.

Prophylactic mixtures should be added to the diet during remission for more than 6 months.

Having reviewed hypoallergenic mixtures, we can note: preventive ones have the prefix HA (hypoallergenic) or NA (low allergenic) in the name.

Among the manufacturers of hypoallergenic mixtures it should be noted:

• Nutrilon, Nutrilak, Similak, Frisolak.
• Nan, Humana, HiPP.

The packaging indicates how a particular mixture differs from the usual one: low chance of causing allergies, the presence of special additives.

Some contain a lot of simple carbohydrates glucose, which can be harmful. There are few carbohydrates in the mixtures of the Nutrilak and Frisolak companies.

Features of preventative products:

• Indicated for children at risk of an allergic reaction to lactose.
• Indicated for patients with milk allergies or prolonged remission after treatment.
• Not indicated for treatment, with the exception of some mixtures, such as Nutrilac.
• Most hypoallergenic formulas are created in several variations for children up to six months and after. Mixtures similar to Nutrilac can be used at any age.
• Some companies' products contain prebiotics or probiotics that stabilize well-being.
• Some contain substances that develop the body.

Therapeutic hypoallergenic mixtures

Highly hydrolyzed mixtures with the following names should be distinguished:

• Nutrilon, Nutrilak STC, Nutramigen.
• Friso PEP.
• Alfare, HiPP.

Features of medicinal mixtures for allergies:

• Highly hydrolyzed proteins do not cause irritation.
• They contain broken down lactose, which helps to recover from poisoning.
• There are more peptides in whey formulas than in casein formulas, which limits the scope of application of each type.
• They have different age categories.

Serum

There are lactose-free whey mixtures. So, Bellakt contains a lactose-free base. The rest contain small amounts of lactose in hydrolyzed form. The medicinal mixture Friso PEP has a pleasant taste.

Triglycerides contained in the mixtures improve digestion and improve the absorption of broken down proteins. Nutrilon, Hipp, Nutrilak and Frizo PEP contain nucleotides.

Casein

Compared to whey, they cause allergies in exceptional cases. Small peptides help recover during serious illness.

Storage period and method

The expiration date is indicated on the packaging and is 24 months from the date of production. Once the box has been opened it must be used within a maximum of three weeks. It is very important to store the powder with a well-closed lid in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator. The temperature in the storage area should not be higher than 25°C, and the humidity should not be more than 75%.

The Nestle® brand produces the “NAN Hypoallergenic” prophylactic mixture in Germany. The product is packaged in 400 grams and sold in an iron can. The price ranges from 480 rubles to 1000 rubles, it all depends on the point of purchase and the region of Russia.

Reviews

We changed our son’s food several times until Nan was advised. After several uses, digestion and skin condition noticeably improved. There are still rashes in some places, but the pediatrician said that everything will go away soon. Anastasia, Moscow

I highly recommend Nan for complementary feeding of allergic children. We haven't tried anything before. But now there are no rashes, diarrhea or constipation. Ksenia, Tyumen

Great mixture, quick to prepare. The baby eats with pleasure. They forgot what colic is. The product dissolves well and does not foam. The composition is natural, so it is absolutely safe for infants. Olga, Ekaterinburg

Precautionary measures

To eliminate possible negative consequences, you must adhere to the following:

1. Use the prophylactic mixture only as prescribed by a doctor.
2. Avoid taking such food if you have moderate allergic manifestations.
3. Do not give Nan GA to your child if he or she is lactose intolerant.
4. Follow a therapeutic and preventive diet.
5. Strictly follow the instructions and prescriptions of the manufacturer and doctor.
6. Follow the rules for storing and preparing the product.
7. Introduce the mixture gradually over the course of a week.
8. Do not add other food components to the prepared mixture.
9. Introduce complementary foods according to the baby's age.
10. Properly support the baby during feeding to prevent the baby from choking.
11. Carefully monitor the health and condition of the baby in order to promptly eliminate the causes of negative conditions.

Properly selected nutrition ensures the full growth and development of the baby, minimizing all risks.

Rules for introducing the mixture into the diet

The question of which mixture is better is quite difficult. It is worth recommending that mothers do not change the mixtures every day one after another, experimenting on their child. Study the composition carefully and talk to a doctor who knows the developmental characteristics of your baby. It will limit the scope of your choice and thereby minimize your effort.

If you use NAN after trying to feed your baby with baby food from other brands, it is better to be careful. Pediatricians' recommendations will be as follows:

o When diluting the mixture in water, be sure to follow the instructions.

o The first portion of baby food should not exceed 90 ml.

o Do not give your child any new foods that can cause allergies (fruits, juices). If the child is on mixed feeding, the mother should adhere to a strict and limited diet.

o For 3 days after starting feeding, monitor the newborn's reaction: he should not have skin rashes, problems with bowel movements or colic.

Our tests have shown that the composition of Nestle Nan 1 Premium dry infant formula contains noticeable deviations in iron and vitamin C from those declared by the manufacturer. At the same time, the calcium and potassium contents correspond to those indicated on the packaging. If the iron content is only 4.8 mg (-8%), then vitamin C contains only 80 mg (-8%, but +160% of the daily value of a child aged 6 months).

The ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the mixture is 1.8:1. Most experts agree that the optimal ratio should be 2:1.

It is worth noting a significant deviation in the ash composition. The manufacturer indicates 2.87% by weight of the mixture, while our tests showed only 2.0% (-30%). Such a large difference may indicate significantly less mineralization of the mixture than is written on the packaging: the mass of ash indicates the amount of unburned mineral components.

Also contains:

Whey proteins (70%) are proteins that, unlike casein (heavy protein) in cow's milk, are easily digestible by infants.

DHA and ARA are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial for the development of a child's brain and vision.

Nucleotides are participants in many biochemical and energetic processes in the human body.

Probiotics are live cultures of beneficial microorganisms that are activated as they enter the intestines and help normalize digestion.

The composition does not contain prebiotics - oligosaccharides that are not prone to breakdown in the stomach and intestinal tract, serving as food for beneficial microorganisms in the lower intestines.

Security - 5.0

Nestle Nan 1 Premium baby food is safe - our experts came to this conclusion: it contains no toxins or pathogenic microorganisms. No sucrose was also detected.

Taste and ease of breeding - 3.8

According to our tasters, the NAN mixture has an unpleasant taste. They rated it "satisfactory." The advantages include the rapid speed of its dissolution in water.

The manufacturer suggests following a 1:7 ratio when dissolving Nestle Nan 1 Premium. For every gram of mixture there should be 7 ml of boiled water and cooled to 35-40 degrees. Remember, if you dilute dry milk mixture at a higher temperature, then vitamins are lost in it.

Packaging and its convenience - 3.1

Nan 1 Premium milk formula is sold in metal packaging of 400 g. Considering the average nutritional needs of a 4-6 month old baby, it should be enough for 4 days.

Convenient metal packaging is divided into two sections. Unlike other mixtures in metal cans, the measuring spoon in the NAN 1 Premium can is located in a separate section, separated from the dryest mixture by a soft metal membrane. The membrane opens without any extra effort.

The plastic lid fits tightly and hermetically to the jar. It is worth noting that despite all the energy efficiency of the jar, it does not have a measuring scraper, with which you can easily level the mixture in the measuring spoon.

A measuring spoon of the Nan 1 mixture will add only 3.8-4.0 g of the mixture in one scoop without a slide instead of the 4.3 promised by the manufacturer. Thus, with standard dilution, you get a mixture diluted by more than 10%! According to our experts, this is a significant drawback of the dosing spoon. We strongly recommend that you check the weight of the mixture taken on a scale, or recalculate the amount of water for the correct ratio of components.
