4. Physical growth
The common psychology of parents when choosing milk is to only aim for 1-2 certain criteria such as milk to help their children digest well, milk helps their children to immunity well ... even though they understand that the formula they choose cannot meet. child's comprehensive development needs.
This is due to the parent's assumption that all types of milk have only 1-2 functions but cannot meet all the benefits of the overall development of the baby including brain development, healthy digestive system, increased resistance and physical growth.
However, this misconception easily makes the baby lose the opportunity to receive the most important nutrients in the golden period (from the womb to 2 years old) to excel. Because the body is a combination of many relationships between organs such as the gut, brain, and immunity. If one organ is unhealthy it will affect other organs and hinder development. That is why you need to help your child develop comprehensively instead of just developing one factor.
To help your baby develop comprehensively, you need to choose a milk that has the following 4 factors:
Nutrients needed in formula milk to ensure optimal brain development of babies During infancy and under one year of age, the child's brain will have a rapid development. In this key development process, accompany your child by providing your baby with essential daily nutrition for optimal brain development conditions, helping him to excel ...
1. Brain development
Many parents think that when children show awareness and start learning, they need to support their child's brain development - including the necessary nutritional supplementation, but this time is too late. Because the most powerful brain development stage of a baby is the first 1,000 days of life (fetal stage to 2 years old).
Research shows that at this stage, there are more than 1,000 connections between nerve cells in the brain every second. In addition, the brain regions related to the baby's ability to hear, see, remember, and language also develop strongly. This is the premise for babies to develop awareness, learning ability, memory and intelligence. The lack of nutrition during this stage can cause irreversible damage to the developing brain of the baby, causing the baby to suffer serious consequences in the future.
Therefore, for your child to have optimal brain development, you need to choose milk with the following essential nutrients:
DHA: It is responsible for transmitting messages between nerves to help children develop intelligence and vision. However, DHA is easily oxidized, so it needs to be accompanied by powerful antioxidants to help children absorb DHA better and more completely.
Natural Vitamin E: Found in very large amounts in areas of the brain responsible for infant memory and learning. At the same time, this is also a powerful antioxidant, so it can help protect DHA effectively. Keep in mind, natural vitamin E has been shown to protect DHA twice as much as synthetic vitamin E. Therefore, when choosing milk, parents should choose the one with DHA with natural vitamin E instead of synthetic vitamin E, so it can help your baby absorb DHA as much as possible.
Lutein: An important nutrient that determines the child's ability to memorize, develop language, hear and see. It is also a powerful antioxidant with natural Vitamin E that can help protect DHA from degradation.
2. Healthy digestive system
Digestion is the primary concern of parents with young children. Because of a good digestive system, children can absorb many substances to nurture other organs in the body. Many parents believe rumors that low-nutrient milk will be cooler and help their children absorb well and digest gently. However, this is wrong thinking and will trade brain, immune and physical development.
In fact, based on science, for babies to have a healthy digestive system , parents need to choose milk that meets the following factors:
Fat from sunflower oil, soybean oil or coconut oil instead of palm oil: Because this is the culprit that causes constipation in children due to the undigested palmitic acid in the intestines, but combined with calcium to make the young stool hard and make it difficult for children to defecate. Therefore, choosing milk without palm oil will help your baby reduce constipation, vomiting, and stomach pain while increasing the absorption of DHA and calcium - other important nutrients for the mind and body.
Soluble fiber prebiotic fos: Nourishes beneficial gut bacteria for a healthy digestive system. This is the premise for the baby to absorb nutrients best and fight many digestive problems, including constipation.
Nucleosides: Produces probiotics like bifidobacteria for a healthy baby's digestive system, and reduces diarrhea.
Milk must contain Nucleosides, prebiotic fos soluble fiber, palm oil-free fat for a healthy baby's digestive system.
3. Increase resistance
Milk helps increase children's resistance not only to keep children healthy, reduce sickness, avoid the risk of diseases, but also provide a good physical foundation for babies to increase their ability to learn, explore the world and develop. intelligence. On the contrary, if the child lacks resistance and suffers from frequent diseases, the body must focus on nutrients to fight the disease, thereby making the child's brain and physical less develop.
To have a healthy immune system, you need to choose milk that meets the following criteria:
HMO: A macronutrient found in breast milk, helps nourish the intestinal microflora for a healthy digestive system and perfect the immune system to fight off diseases. Research has shown that HMOs can prevent infections, mucositis, diarrhea, acute enteritis, prevent ear-nose-throat diseases, and regulate immune function so as not to overreact. the disease progresses rapidly.
Nucleotides: Protect digestive system and strengthen immune function, increase resistance, protect baby's body against dangerous diseases such as infection, diarrhea, diphtheria and meningitis.
Milk needs to contain HMO, Nucleotides to strengthen the immune system to keep the baby healthy
4. Physical growth
About 10 years ago, parents were often pressured about the child's weight because at that time every family thought that a plump and chubby child was healthy and well-developed. But with today's modern parents, due to being aware of the many risks from excessive weight gain, they have focused on developing the height and brain for their children.
This is the correct perception, but you still need to make sure your baby develops properly, not physically "behind" compared to children of the same age. Because physicality is the foundation of intellect, children are physically well able to think, create and learn.
Research has shown that poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life can cause malnutrition and growth retardation, putting babies at risk of illness due to a weakened immune system.
Therefore, mothers need to choose milk that ensures the following essential nutrients to help their baby develop physically:
Protein (protein): This is the main component that makes up the skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, regulates activities and enhances immunity to help children develop healthy.
Calcium: Plays the biggest role in the formation and development of baby's bones and teeth. Children are tall, strong, teething, fast or not depends largely on the amount of calcium they absorb in the first 1,000 days of life.
Vitamin K and vitamin D: Two important ingredients in helping children absorb calcium to develop strong bones and teeth.
Just choosing the right formula that meets the above criteria can help your baby develop comprehensively brain, digestion, resistance and physical fitness. Parents, because of prejudice, "sacrifice" any development of the child.
