Artificial feeding
Producers of artificial children's mixes try to repeat as much as possible structure of breast milk in the product. However completely mixes do not manage to approach the ingenious invention of the nature yet. There are not enough components which are contained in genuine mother's milk therefore at some children the allergy, neuropsychological disorders or disorders of digestive organs develops. In artificial mixes there are no regulatory peptides (human proteins of caseins) which are necessary to the kid for the correct development. It is necessary to nurse the child as long as possible, up to 1-3 years. Transition to artificial feeding is carried out only when breastfeeding is impossible.
