Recently, in our country, special attention has been paid to demography, support for motherhood, health and protection of children. The state helps financially young families with children. Psychologists and educators urge newly-made parents to environmentally friendly education. Pediatricians give clear recommendations about the healthy nutrition of babies. The production of baby food, both mixtures for newborns and first foods (cereals and purees) is put under separate control. The requirements for its quality are disproportionately higher than for products for adults.
In this light, the issue of feeding newborns is acute. The medical community and child psychologists alike promote breastfeeding as the basis for healthy infant development. But for various reasons, breastfeeding remains an unattainable luxury for some women. And then the logical desire is to find the highest quality and purest artificial nutrition for your child. It is also important that it be close in its properties to breast milk, be safe and cover all the nutritional needs of a small person. These high demands are met by the products of the baby food brand Kabrita. Let's take a closer look at its features and benefits.
What is special about goat milk?
Kabrita is a Dutch baby food manufacturer based on goat's milk.
Most infant formulas are made with cow's milk. Although for a child's body it is a heavy product. It is no coincidence that it is banned until 1.5-2 years of age. Dense α-casein, contained in large quantities in cow's milk, causes colic, gas formation, and digestive disorders in babies. Their immature digestive system does not yet have the necessary enzymes to break down such a complex protein.
Cow's milk is far from breast milk in its composition. In the latter, casein is represented mainly by proteins of the group β- they are soft and easily soluble. But α-Casein is almost non-existent in human milk. Goat milk has a similar composition. It also dominates β-casein.
According to recent research by scientists, any animal milk can be divided into 2 types: A1 and A2. Their difference is in genetic preservation. Milk A1 in the process of evolution and selection transformations has changed its composition. Whereas type A2 milk remained genetically unchanged. It is it that is the easiest product for a person. Goat milk is of this type. But with a cow, everything is much more complicated. This is A1 milk, its dense casein, when digested, forms a substance called beta-casomorphin. It is believed that it is this that leads to gastrointestinal disorders.
That is why goat milk products are the first choice food for newborns.They contribute to comfortable digestion, do not irritate the delicate mucous membrane of the children's gastrointestinal tract, and when digested, they form a soft curd clot that is easily split and absorbed.
Kabrita goat milk formulas are made exclusively from fresh farm milk. In the Netherlands (the official name of Holland), great attention is paid to ecology. After all, the Netherlands is among the top five world exporters of agricultural products and flowers. This is one of the most developed agricultural countries, where 65% of the territory is given over to pastures and fields. The country prefers to build its economy on its own raw milk, which is produced on traditional family farms. The farthest farm from the factory is 2.5 hours away. This approach allows you to use only fresh milk for the preparation of mixtures. The Netherlands has very strict quality control of dairy products. In addition to the factory's own control system, the products are regularly checked by the supervisory authorities COKZ and Kwaligeit.
Maximum adaptability of the mixture for newborns
In addition to the natural bioavailability of the milk base, any mixture must be adapted to the age requirements of the baby. Even light goat's milk in its pure form is not suitable for feeding newborns, since it is casein (albeit with soft β-casein). For complete nutrition, a newborn needs whey milk, such as mother's. But in the milk of animal whey proteins, only 20-30%. The goat is no exception. Therefore, it is specially adapted to a ratio of whey to casein similar to breast milk, adding the most valuable whey in the amount of 63% to the starting mixtures. It would be useful to note that goat milk whey is in short supply and not all goat milk mixtures are enriched with it.It is all the more gratifying that the manufacturer has its own raw material base, which allows solving this issue.
Kabrita Newborn Formula is additionally enriched with all the necessary nutrients for the healthy growth of your baby:
- the unique DigestX fat complex to aid digestion and bone development;
- enriched with the most valuable whey for easier digestion and absorption;
- prebiotics and probiotics for healthy microflora and immune support;
- ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids for brain and vision development;
- natural nucleotides and oligosaccharides of goat milk to support immunity;
- vitamins and minerals.
Thanks to this balanced composition, the mixture covers all the nutritional needs of the baby.
