How to properly administer the goat milk mixture

Cabrita is a mixture, reviews of which indicate a high demand for the product. It is recommended to be introduced into the diet of a newborn not earlier than 1 month of life. Up to this point, the newborn's digestive system adapts, and the introduction of the mixture can lead to indigestion (diarrhea, regurgitation, constipation).

From the first months of life, a child is recommended to introduce a mixture into the diet only if necessary and after consulting a pediatrician. Not enough breast milk can be the cause. Determine the amount of milk missing to the norm by weighing the baby before and after feeding. Instead of the missing volume of breast milk, the baby is given formula.

On the 1st day of administration, it is recommended to inject no more than 10 ml of the goat milk mixture. Every day, the volume of the mixture can be increased by 10-20 ml, gradually bringing the amount to the desired rate and replacing the old food with a new one.

The gradual introduction of the mixture will help the body to adapt more easily to the new diet and track the negative reaction of the body in the form of stool disorders, manifestations of allergies in time.

Dosages of infant formula by child's age

Calculation of the daily nutrition of a child under the age of 1 g. The manufacturer recommends checking the life as follows: 2% of the child's body weight (unit of measurement g) is multiplied by the number of days of the newborn's life.

Further, the resulting volume can be divided by 6 (the number of feedings recommended for healthy full-term babies per day). This is how the right amount of the mixture is calculated for each feeding.

Starting from 5-6 months, 1 feeding can be replaced with a portion of porridge, vegetable or fruit puree.
