    Nestojen

    Nestogen baby formulas are produced by the Nestle concern.

    A feature of the company's marketing policy is strict adherence to the International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes of the World Health Organization (WHO Code), according to which direct advertising of breast milk substitutes for children under one year old, including Nestozhen formulas, is prohibited in order to support breastfeeding.

    Employees of the company are allowed to consult only medical specialists. In this regard, information about Nestogen mixtures for children under one year old is not available on the official website of the company, however, an analysis of information from the packaging about nutritional value of these products, makes it easy to evaluate all their advantages and disadvantages.

    All Nestogen products for healthy children under one year old are breast milk substitutes, which, depending on age, are divided into:

    1) infant milk formula Nestozhen 1 and Nestozhen 1 Midi from birth to six months;

    2) baby milk formula Nestozhen 2 and Nestozhen 2 Midi from six to twelve months.

    The difference between Nestogen 1.2 and Nestogen 1.2 Midi is only in the economical packaging format, where the mixture contains not 350 g, but as much as 700 g. The composition of the mixture does not differ.

    As for Nestogen 3.4, they are significantly different from breast milk, therefore they are not a substitute for it and are called baby milk, subdivided into:

    1) baby milk Nestozhen 3 from twelve months;

    2) baby milk Nestozhen 4 from eighteen months.

    A successful development of the company is the packaging of mixtures, which, after opening, reliably protects the contents from external influences due to a box with a lid and a convenient spoon-clip for the bag.

    The milk components of the mixtures are produced from the milk of Swiss farms, approved by Nestlé specialists, which serves as a guarantee of their quality.

    Nestogen mixtures, like breast milk, have a low osmolality, so that they do not exert an increased burden on the child's excretory system.

    The protein component of Nestogen 1.2 mixtures is 60% whey proteins, as in a woman's mature breast milk.

    In Nestogen 3.4, whey protein makes up only 23% of the total protein content.

    In terms of amino acid composition, cow's milk differs from human milk protein, therefore, manufacturers of human milk substitutes often add the missing essential amino acids to the mixture additionally.

    Unfortunately, only one essential amino acid, taurine, was introduced into the Nestozhen mixture.

    Carbohydrates:

    In addition to milk sugar - lactose, Nestogen contains maltodextrin, which makes the mixture thicker and provides a long feeling of satiety.

    Nestogen 3.4 mixtures do not contain sucrose, which distinguishes them favorably from some similar products from other manufacturers.

    The fat component is represented by a mixture of vegetable oils that provide the body with fatty acids.

    Among them there is no palm oil.

    The mixture does not contain docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (ARA) acids, the source of which in other mixtures is fish oil, which is its obvious disadvantage, since these acids strengthen the immune system and are necessary for the proper development of vision and brain.

    Other components:

    As a result of their activity, a low pH in the intestine is achieved, which is unfavorable for the development of pathogenic microflora, and short-chain fatty acids are synthesized, as in breast-fed children.

    Short-chain fatty acids ensure the normal state of the intestinal epithelium, its energy supply, contribute to its antibacterial and antiviral protection.

    To date, a large number of brands of milk infant formulas are presented.

    The main requirement for any milk formula is as close as possible to the composition.

    What is the danger of an overestimated amount of nutrients in the mixture?

    • during the processing of protein in the liver, nitrogenous compounds are released, which are normally excreted by the kidneys. If the amount of protein in the mixture is large, there will also be many degradation products. And not always the kidneys will remove everything from the body by 100%. In turn, the products of protein breakdown (nitrogenous slags) adversely affect the development of the brain, nervous system;
    • a large amount of fat leads to such consequences as metabolic syndrome (obesity, arterial hypertension in adulthood);
    • if the mixture contains a large amount of carbohydrates, the body is programmed to develop other metabolic disorders.

    Types of mixtures

    There are two types of mixtures:

    • basic;
    • medical.

    Basic are used in healthy children. Medicinal mixtures are administered when a child has a health problem.

    Only a doctor should select such a mixture, taking into account the characteristics of a small patient and his diagnosis, and for a certain period of time. It is impossible to constantly feed the medicinal mixture.

    Types of medicinal mixtures:

    • for premature babies (usually come with the prefix pre-);
    • antireflux (if there are problems with regurgitation);
    • fermented milk (for digestive disorders);
    • hypoallergenic (with a mild degree of allergic reactions);
    • amino acids (when there is a severe manifestation of allergy);
    • lactose-free and low-lactose mixtures, which are used for, after suffering.

    Nutrition calculation

    The dosage depends on the following factors:

    • the age of the child;
    • completely artificial feeding or mixed;
    • the weight of the child;
    • some physiological features (for example, prematurity).

    There are many formulas for calculating nutrition, but your attending physician should deal with this and adjust the dose of the mixture for one feeding, taking into account all the features.

    The important point is not to overfeed the child on the mixture, which happens very often. The child begins to act up, and the mother, in the hope that he will calm down, offers two feedings instead of one. It is not right.

    By overfeeding your baby, you can earn a lot of health problems for the baby in the future. If the baby is very worried, it is better to consult a doctor, rather than suggesting extra formula feeding.

    Nutrition with a mixture of "Nestozhen"

    Why are many people advised to use the Nestogen mixture?

    1. It is highly adapted (the composition is close to mother's milk).
    2. Does not cause digestive problems (colic, regurgitation).
    3. Guarantees regular stools due to the presence of Prebio fibers and lactobacilli in the composition.

    Consider the types of mixtures:

    1. The mixture "Nestozhen-1" is suitable for feeding healthy children from birth to 6 months. Contains natural dietary fiber Prebio (prebiotics) and lactobacilli L.reuteri, which help digestion, the formation of regular stools and the maturation of the digestive system. This favorably affects the microflora, reduces colic, regurgitation and minimizes discomfort in the baby. The composition of "Nestogen 1" also includes acids (linolenic, pantothenic, folic), maltose, whey proteins, vegetable fats, lactose, vitamins of all groups, trace elements. The mixture is made without the use of genetically modified ingredients, dyes, preservatives and flavors.
    2. A mixture of "Nestozhen 2" for children 6 - 12 months. Contains dietary fiber Prebio (prebiotics) and lactobacilli L.Reuteri. Contains a set of components with carbohydrates (17 g per liter) with an increased amount of lactose, whey, vitamins and minerals. The mixture is designed for the increased needs of the baby.
    3. Baby milk "Nestozhen 3" and "Nestozhen 4" are intended for children after 12 months and 18 months, respectively. Contain, in comparison with the previous mixtures, more proteins, fats, carbohydrates. They have an increased amount of prebiotics, a strengthened complex of vitamins / minerals, which is important for full development in the second year of life.
    4. "Nestogen" low lactose from birth. This blend is low in lactose. It can be used as the main food for children from birth in cases of lactase deficiency, as well as after an intestinal infection.

    Mix Nestogen (Nestlé) 1 (from birth) 350 g

    Rules for preparing the mixture

    1. The bottle must be clean. It is your choice to sterilize it or not (not all bacteria die in this process), but WHO recommends. But it’s worth using special baby products for washing bottles. On the walls of the bottle should not remain the mixture from the previous feeding.
    2. Always read the instructions for use. It details how many scoops you need per feeding. You need to measure so that the spoon is without a slide.
    3. Use boiled water, cooled to 37 degrees Celsius. This temperature allows you to save live bacteria that are in the composition. There are mixtures that require a temperature above 37 degrees, the manufacturer indicates this in the instructions.
    4. First, pour water into the bottle, and only then add the mixture, and not vice versa. This will allow it to dissolve better and achieve the correct concentration of the mixture.
    5. Stir (shake) for at least 30 seconds until a homogeneous mass without lumps. For formulas such as "anti-reflux", for example, a small amount of lumps in the finished formula is allowed, but they should not clog the nipple.

    It is recommended to store the finished formula for no more than 2 hours, but only if the child has not eaten from this bottle. The mixture itself is a very breeding ground for bacterial growth. Therefore, giving the formula to the child from the same bottle after a while, you expose the baby to the risk of developing an intestinal infection. To avoid such cases, follow the rule: every feeding - a clean bottle, a new mixture.

    If the mixture does not fit?

    As with any mixture, an allergic reaction may occur on Nestogen. In this case, it is worth switching to a hypoallergenic mixture. For example, Nutrilon Pepti Allergy or Nutrilon Hypoallergenic.

    It is impossible to switch from one mixture to another in one day!

    It needs to be replaced gradually. To begin with, half the volume of the old mixture + half the volume of the new. The next day - one feeding with a new mixture, the rest - with the old one. Until you completely switch to a new mixture. Mixing mixtures of two different brands in one bottle is also prohibited. Each mixture has its own bottle.

    The price-quality ratio of the Nestozhen mixture is decent. It easily replaces the more expensive analogues of this company (NAS, Nutrilon). For example, "Nestozhen 1" package of 350 g in the Russian Federation costs from 270 rubles, and "Nutrilon 1" 400 g package costs from 390 rubles.

    The availability of the mixture "Nestozhen" is high. You can find it on the shelves in almost any chain of supermarkets and pharmacies.

    A good alternative to breast milk is the Nestogen Hypoallergenic formula. Pediatricians recommend it in the case when a woman, for various reasons, cannot breastfeed her baby.

    This HA mixture contains probiotics and prebiotics that protect the child's body from various manifestations of allergic reactions. Positive feedback from young mothers is proof of this.

    Let us consider in detail the benefits and varieties of baby food that saves from allergies.

    Distinctive features of hypoallergenic mixtures

    mother's breast milk - best food for a newborn. However, not every woman manages to maintain lactation. Some milk is not enough, others it does not appear at all.

    In such situations, the pediatrician advises introducing a special mixture into complementary foods. There are many of them, not every body of a newborn is well absorbed: allergic reactions are possible in the form of dysbacteriosis and redness on the skin.

    Hypoallergenic mixtures, for example, Nestozhen, will help to avoid such troubles. This is the name of specialized nutrition (there are powders and ready-made formulations on sale), which is intended for the treatment and prevention of allergies in infants and children aged 6-12 months.

    The main difference between hypoallergenic baby food and other types is that it does not contain natural milk proteins.

    It cannot harm a baby who has an individual intolerance to cow's milk protein. For example, for the prevention of allergic manifestations, pediatricians recommend giving the child "Nestozhen", this powder contains pro- and prebiotics that normalize bowel function.

    Brief description of expensive food

    Nestle supplies the market not only with the affordable hypoallergenic Nestozhen, but also with the more expensive NAN. The powder dissolves well and is practically devoid of a bitter aftertaste. Its disadvantages: high price (from 800 rubles per pack weighing 400 grams), possible constipation in a child.

    More expensive than hypoallergenic "Nestozhen" is "Nutrilon" (Nutrilon). Developed by specialists from the Dutch company Nutricia, this HA mixture contributes to the normal development of the central nervous system, the brain, and protects against intestinal infections. The disadvantage is the high price (from 650 rubles per 400 grams), possible violations of the stool.

    Reviews about the nutrition of "Baby" (products of the company "Nutricia") are both positive and negative. You will also have to pay more for it than for the hypoallergenic Nestozhen (from 350 rubles for 350 grams), but this HA mixture may not be suitable for the baby.

    Features of cheap mixtures

    Among the cheap powders, there are also good ones. In addition to the hypoallergenic Nestozhen, a child can be given, for example, Nutrilac. This powder produces Russian company InfaPrim (INFAPRIM).

    It does not contain palm and rapeseed oils, it has a positive effect on the development of the brain, the growth of the baby's muscle tissue. It is valued for its relatively low cost (from 550 rubles per 350 grams), but it is not suitable for all children.

    Unlike the hypoallergenic Nestozhen, this HA mixture has a bitter taste, and its smell may seem unpleasant.

    Among the inexpensive ones are those developed by Belarusian specialists "Bellakt". This food saves from colic, does not irritate the intestines, and has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of the baby.

    It costs a little more than the hypoallergenic "Nestozhen" - from 450 rubles per 350 grams. Disadvantage: in some children it causes individual intolerance to individual components.

    How to choose hypoallergenic baby food?

    Children's hypoallergenic food should be given to a child only as prescribed by a doctor and only after delivery. necessary analyzes. The doctor selects the mixture, taking into account those allergic manifestations that are observed in the baby.

    If there is a high risk of allergies, the baby is prescribed a prophylactic mixture, for example, the hypoallergenic "Nestozhen" or NAN. If the disease proceeds in a mild, moderate form, a small patient is prescribed mixtures containing split whey protein.

    In severe forms of allergies - casein mixtures. It happens that the pediatrician recommends several varieties of HA mixtures with a similar composition for use.

    In such a situation, parents need to gradually give the baby any one powder, for example, hypoallergenic "Nestozhen", and monitor the reaction child's body. If colic, dysbacteriosis, allergic rashes appear, the powder is changed.

    HA-blends are sold in tin cans or, like the hypoallergenic Nestogen, in cardboard boxes. They must be labeled "HA" or "HA", which means "hypoallergenic" or "hyppoallergenic", respectively.

    Next to the name of the mixture are the numbers "1" or "2". This is an indication of the child's age. Nutrition with the number "1" is designed specifically for babies, with the number "2" - for children over the age of 6 months.

    When choosing a powder, pay attention to its composition (there should not be palm, coconut or rapeseed oils), the date of manufacture and the expiration date.


    The appearance of a baby is an important event that the family is waiting for with such excitement and awe. But no less responsible is the establishment of lactation. Doctors say that there is nothing more useful for a child than breast milk. Its composition is truly unique.

    But what about mothers who have problems with breastfeeding? A mixture of "Nestozhen 1", reviews of pediatricians about which are only positive, can help out in this situation. Why you should choose this particular brand of baby food, we'll talk in the article.

    Why is breastfeeding so important?

    If the mother cannot establish lactation, it is necessary to purchase the Nestogen 1 mixture. Feedback from pediatricians about her is only positive. She is famous for her composition. But is it as unique as Scientists around the world still cannot unravel the mystery of milk. The fact is that its composition varies depending on various factors: time of day, number of feedings, and much more.

    Another important point is the establishment of psycho-emotional contact between mother and baby during breastfeeding. Therefore, a woman needs to make every effort to establish lactation. Close people should also help and participate in the process: walk with the baby so that the mother has time to relax and sleep, rock, bathe, change diapers and much more.

    In what cases is it impossible to do without a mixture?

    There are cases when it is impossible to breastfeed a baby:

      Complications caused by childbirth.

      Taking medications.

      Maternal infection.

      Lack of fat content and milk production. This may be noticed by a doctor or during examination. The baby in the first month should gain at least 600 grams.

    In the latter case, doctors may recommend switching to mixed feeding (breast and formula at the same time). But how not to get confused and acquire the right and healthy diet for the little one? The most important thing is that the mixture is fully adapted and suitable for age. Forget about cow's milk, using it will ruin your baby's stomach. Milk formula "Nestogen 1" is ideal for healthy children who do not suffer from colic, severe constipation, profuse regurgitation. A balanced set of nutrients, affordable price, availability - these are its main advantages.

    If after the birth of the baby there is no way to establish natural feeding, you can use the mixture "Nestozhen 1". Feedback from pediatricians about her is only positive. And this is not at all surprising, there are many points that distinguish it from other mixtures:

      Can be used from birth.

      Low price.

      Availability. It can be found on the shelves of any large store and in pharmacies.

      Thanks to the prebiotics included in the composition, babies do not have problems with stool.

      All vitamins and nutrients that are responsible for the normal development of the baby are included.

      Contains no palm oil.

      Proteins are broken down, so they are easier to digest.

      The composition does not contain: preservatives, GMOs, dyes, flavors.

      The pleasant sweet taste is pleasant to kids.

      The mixture is nutritious, so children gain weight well.

    When buying a mixture of "Nestogen 1", reviews of pediatricians about which are positive, you can be sure that the child will not remain hungry. It is not for nothing that leading experts offer this adapted mixture even to newborn babies if the mother has problems with lactation. You should not chase cheaper products, you need to understand that the first year of life is very important for a child. It is at this time that immunity is laid. Do not save on the health of your crumbs, choose the right, adapted mixtures.

    Why is it necessary to choose a mixture of "Nestogen"?

    Before buying baby food, you need to carefully study the components that are included in it. The composition of the mixture "Nestozhen 1" is fully adapted to the child's body. You can use it from the birth of the crumbs.

    The composition is as close as possible to breast milk. This allows the child to receive all the necessary nutrients for proper physical and mental development.

    We study the composition

    One of the important components are prebiotics. They are able to normalize the intestinal flora, to establish digestive processes.

    Vitamins, trace elements, fatty acids are also part of the Nestozhen 1 mixture. Thanks to them, the child is actively developing.

    Separately, I would like to highlight iodine and iron, which are responsible for the development of the nervous system. Thanks to these elements, the baby becomes calmer, nerve fibers form faster.

    An essential component is calcium. He is responsible for the formation of bone tissue and the laying of teeth.

    Doctors believe that this mixture is as close as possible to breast milk, so when choosing it, parents do not have to worry about the health and immunity of their baby.

    How to apply the mixture correctly?

    Many parents ask: “How to dilute the Nestozhen 1 mixture?”. Doing this is quite simple:

      Wash your hands thoroughly with soap.

      In the sterilizer, process the bottle and nipple. If there is no such device, you can boil them in water.

      Boil baby bottled water ("Baby", "Agusha", "Theme").

      Cool it down to 37-38°C.

      According to the instructions, pour the required amount of water into the bottle (pay attention to the age of the baby).

      Add the included amount of mixture without a slide.

      After closing the bottle with a nipple, shake well until the mixture is completely dissolved.

      Check the temperature of the prepared drink again by putting a couple of drops on the back of your hand.

    Are there any contraindications?

    Many parents, choosing a mixture, prefer Nestozhen. The price for it is small, while it is sold in almost any large supermarket. But can all children use it?

    Doctors assure that there are practically no allergic manifestations to this mixture. But those babies who have been found to give it are prohibited. In this case, you need to consult a doctor and choose the mixture individually. As a rule, pediatricians prescribe mixtures based on goat's milk. They cost a lot (600 - 800 rubles) per jar, but mom simply has no other choice.

    Note to parents

    Choosing the Nestozhen mixture, the price of which is not very high (within 300 - 400 rubles per pack), I would like the baby's parents to once again pay attention to the following points:


    Remember, there is nothing better for babies than breast milk. Nature itself took care to give the baby all the best from birth. It is in mother's milk that contains the necessary vitamins, nutrients, acids, which are responsible for the immunity and proper development of the child. If it so happened that it is not possible to establish the lactation process, buy only the best food for the crumbs. Infant formula "Nestozhen 1" will be a good substitute for breast milk. Due to its correct composition, reasonable price and availability, it will appeal not only to children, but also to their parents.

    Nestozhen infant formula is an alternative food for infants who, due to certain circumstances, cannot be breastfed. Producer - Switzerland together with the world famous company Nestle and in cooperation with the Russian representative office. Each package has its own marking from 1 to 4, so it’s not enough to buy a product, it’s also important to understand how it differs from others, what the number on the package means, how and when to use it, how to feed the baby but.

    Types of base mixtures Nestozhen

    Nestogen products are able to replace (albeit not 100%) mother's breast milk from birth. Manufacturers took care of each age separately:

    • for newborn babies from 0 to 6 months, you can buy a mixture from "Nestozhen 1" and a mixture of "Nestozhen 1 Midi";
    • for babies from 6 months to a year - milk mixture "Nestozhen 2" and "Nestozhen 2 Midi";
    • for children from 12 to 18 months, baby milk “Nestozhen 3” is suitable, which they will certainly appreciate;
    • for children from 18 months old milk “Nestozhen 4” is already being bought.

    The packaging is very convenient and economical, 350 or 700 grams. It is also important to understand the difference between infant formula and milk. The second option cannot be used as a substitute for mother's milk, which, incidentally, is evident from age restrictions.

    The main ingredient is milk from Swiss farms, which have been carefully tested and approved by Nestle. Cooperation with a world famous company speaks for itself.

    Mixtures, like mother's milk, boast a low concentration of proteins and salts, which means that you should not worry about a possible excessive load on the baby's excretory system.

    The composition of the base mixtures

    The product quickly became popular among young mothers. This is not surprising, because the composition of the mixture from Nestozhen is safe, useful, easily absorbed by the small stomach of the crumbs. The packaging is sealed cardboard, inside you can find a measuring spoon with a clamp function, so that it is convenient to open and close the pack several times. Consider the composition and BJU (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) in more detail.


    Composition of Nestogen 1

    Protein composition

    Mother's milk contains a sufficient amount of proteins necessary for proper digestion. Baby food Nestozhen 1, 2, 3, 4 is also rich in this important component. Thus, powdered milk labeled 1 and 2 contains 60% whey proteins, labeling 3 and 4 means the presence of 23% whey in the composition. Of course, the percentage is calculated from the total amount of protein.

    Some young mothers try to replace breast milk with cow's milk. However, in composition it is very different, and most importantly, it does not have all needed by the child vitamins and amino acids.


    The mixture is made on cow's milk, but manufacturers are trying to supplement all the missing elements. For example, the important sulfonic acid taurine was not forgotten, and work is underway to further improve the composition.

    Attention: the mixture cannot be considered hypoallergenic, it does not contain hydrolyzed protein. If a child is allergic to cow's milk, then its substitutes, including as part of other products, should be chosen only on the advice of a doctor.

    Carbohydrate composition

    Contains milk sugar (lactose) and maltodextrin, thanks to which the product has the desired density and satiety. The optimal consistency of the mixture and a balanced carbohydrate composition allow the child to quickly become satiated.

    Packages labeled 3 and 4 do not contain sucrose, which is certainly a plus, given the fact that not all manufacturers pay due attention to this component.

    Fat composition

    Vegetable oils supply the body with fatty acids. However, it is very important that there is no palm oil among them. The Nestozhen company can safely boast of the absence of this component in its mixtures, because it is unsafe for a small organism and its digestion. However, the mixtures do not contain docosahexaenoic (DHA) and omega-6 unsaturated fatty (ARA) acids that are beneficial for the body, which, of course, is a significant drawback.

    Other components

    body (including digestive system) of a child is very different from an adult. That is why mixtures should contain only natural ingredients in order to maintain the correct acid-base balance in the intestines. So, for example, natural Prebio prebiotics (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) have a beneficial effect on the microflora and intestinal function in general, protect it from bacteria and all kinds of viral infections.


    Fatty acids, dietary fiber, galactooligosaccharides, fructose and glucose, calcium and phosphorus in the composition of the mixture help the proper functioning of the stomach, form soft stools, maintaining the necessary amount of fluid in the large intestine. Constipation in a baby is not only an unpleasant, but also a dangerous problem. Nestozhen contains all the necessary natural ingredients, because manufacturers understand how important it is to make a product for children with high quality, in accordance with all standards and requirements.

    In addition to L.reuteri lactobacilli, essential vitamins and minerals, the product contains the following useful components:

    • monobasic carboxylic acid;
    • omega-6 unsaturated fatty;
    • folic acid;
    • sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium and other useful elements from the periodic table;
    • vitamin A, D, E, K, C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B12, PP (see also:);
    • biotics, prebiotics, etc.


    calories

    Nutrition should be properly balanced not only in adults, but also in children. It is important to monitor not only the composition of the consumed products, but also their calorie content. So, for example, 100 grams of a dry adapted mixture with prebiotics labeled 1 contains 499 kcal, and a package labeled 2 is already slightly lower - 472 kcal per 100 grams of product.

    Nestogen Low lactose

    It should be borne in mind that many children are born with secondary lactase deficiency and the usual mixtures are contraindicated for them. The company took care of such babies by releasing a low-lactose product. Of course, it is impossible to completely exclude lactose from the diet, otherwise dysbacteriosis may develop, problems with the nervous system may begin.

    Do not forget that artificial feeding should be prescribed on an individual basis and only in agreement with the pediatrician. It is very important to immediately determine the level of lactose reduction in order to correctly prescribe its concentration.

    The main component in such mixtures from Nestogen for children under 1 year old is glucose syrup, due to which the product has a sweetish taste. The addition of nucleotides helps to restore and calm the baby's intestines, which can not be found in all mixtures from other manufacturers.

    How to properly dilute the mixture?

    Each pack of Nestogen 1, 2, 3, 4 has a photo instruction for use, which tells how to dilute the powder. It should be understood that you need to feed the child immediately after breeding, and if the portion is undernourished, in no case should you leave ready-made leftovers until the next meal. The baby should eat exclusively fresh formula, and not diluted a few hours ago.

    Step by step cooking steps:

    1. First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly wash not only the drinking bowl, but also your hands, because cooking should be done under sterile conditions.
    2. Boil the cups for about 5 minutes.
    3. Prepare boiled water, be sure to warm, not hot.
    4. Look at the table and fill the cup with the prepared warm liquid.
    5. Add the powder, measuring the right amount with a special measuring spoon, depending on the age of the child (all information is indicated in the table). Remember that the spoon must be clean and dry, so after you take it out of the package, rinse it thoroughly under running water.


    Done, it remains to shake the cup until a homogeneous mass is formed so that there are no grains of powder or lumps. Now it is allowed to proceed directly to feeding.

    Is the mixture compatible with other products?

    To mix different types mixtures are not recommended. The exception is problems with the baby's stool. Then the doctor draws up a certain meal schedule and dosage of several good mixtures. As soon as the stool normalizes, you can return to the previous diet. However, it is necessary to carry out such experiments, both in one direction and in the opposite direction, gradually, because a sharp change in food can further aggravate the situation and disrupt the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

    It is only possible to combine Nestogen dairy baby food labeled 1 or 2 without the consent of a doctor with breast milk. Pediatricians usually recommend doing this when the baby is not gaining weight. The mixture in this case will be an excellent supplement.

    Are there side effects?


    With the wrong dosage or unauthorized improper mixing of mixtures, the reaction in a child can be very different. If a young mother does everything as prescribed, then there should be no problems. Otherwise, the baby may experience the following unpleasant symptoms:

    • obstruction;
    • abdominal discomfort;
    • diarrhea;
    • frequent regurgitation;
    • skin redness;
    • allergy.

    The main thing is not to change the mixture too often - stick to one product, and then the baby will eat with appetite and will not know problems. Among the contraindications, one can only note lactose deficiency and allergies to individual components.

    What is better to choose - "Nestozhen" or "NAS"?


    Milk formula NAN 1

    Young parents often argue about which company is better. The main difference between Nestogen 1 and the NAN mixture is the price. The difference is approximately 300 rubles, but if finances allow, it is better to give preference to the more expensive option - NAS. The high cost is justified by the richest composition: nucleotides, DHA, ARA, essential amino acid supplements, etc. If the family budget does not allow you to buy NAS, then it's not scary.

    Nestozhen also has many advantages:

    • compactness and efficiency;
    • low concentration of osmotically active particles in solution;
    • lack of palm oil;
    • there are two types of prebiotics (GOS and FOS);
    • optimal ratio of calcium and phosphorus;
    • There are more whey proteins than casein.

    Of course, there are also disadvantages to be noted. However, there are not so many of them to refuse a well-known manufacturer:

    • lack of docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acids;
    • in mixtures of "Nestogen" there are also no nucleotides;
    • there is an addition of only one essential amino acid - taurine.

    It can also be noted that there is only one specialized mixture in the line - "Nestozhen Low Lactose". Although, some manufacturers do not even have this, so this fact can be attributed to both minuses and pluses. Which food is better - it's up to you!
