Formula Doesn’t Have the Right Formula

(Newswire.net — November 24, 2017) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Formula is considered to be second best after breast milk but this ranking still doesn’t make formula good. Scientist are yet to recreate all the components of breast milk, powdered formula is just as close as they’ve gotten and even so it’s grossly lacking, comparatively speaking.

There are measuring concerns with mixing formula at home because the powder to formula ratio has to be spot else it opens the door to a host of issues. An excess of water will cause the mixture to be too thin and of insufficient nutritional value, leaving the baby hungry and deprived in spite of feeling filled. Adding too much powdered formula and you’re faced with excess value as the concentration of particular components become too high, which sometimes lead to constipation.

“Blood or mucus in the stool usually means the bowels are inflamed, which is a sign of a possible allergy,” says pediatrician Margaret Morris. “If a baby is persistently unhappy, there’s probably a reason, and an allergy may very well be it. So it’s important to check it out.”

The creation of formula is frankly man’s best guess as to how the body manufactures breast milk so perfectly according to an infant’s particular gender and feeding habits, done with great efficiency one might add.

“If your baby is allergic to milk-based formula, your doctor may recommend switching to one made from soy instead,” recommends the BabyCenter.com. “If your baby is also allergic to soy protein, your doctor may recommend an extra-hydrolyzed formula, in which the protein has been broken down into a more digestible form.”

Breast milk is nature’s way of ensuring that newborns are well fed as it provides them with the best odds of survival and optimal health. As such, it’s a mother’s responsibility to stay in good health herself and by extension safeguard the quality of milk she produces. Exercise and diet are important factors so even a moderate fitness routine should be maintained and restricted consumption of alcohol ought to be observed.

It’s wisely advised to be prepared to conduct a quick and reliable breast milk analysis test using alcohol detecting strips such as PureMilk™ by HealthyWiser™ in the few instances that a nursing mom chooses to have a drink.
