The best replacement for infant formula, according to Dr. Komarovsky

Baby food in jars is the basis of the diet of children up to three years. Mixtures are also needed if the mother does not have milk. In this case, you can not do without them. Unfortunately, war often causes shortages for certain types of products. It happens that on the shelves for weeks there are no necessary jars. Dr. Komarovsky told what to do in this case to young parents.

Sometimes the problem is in shortage, and sometimes the mother and baby are forced to stay in the shelter for a long time. If leaving the house is too dangerous, you can temporarily replace the mixture with cow's milk. Evgeny Komarovsky gave his recipe for the proper use of ordinary milk. It should be written down for all moms. There may be no shortage in your region yet, but it can happen any day.



In order not to harm the baby, you should not feed it cow's milk for more than a month. It is only an emergency measure.

The ingredients

• 120 ml of boiled milk
• 1.5 tsp sugar
• 80ml boiled water

For a month of milk feeding, you need to do everything to find the right mixture. Evgeny Komarovsky claims that only infant formula in jars is the best diet for infants. Breast milk can also be replaced with cow milk for a period of no more than a month. It is a time of crisis in Ukraine, but children are our main value. Their health is on the highest priority.



Try to ask friends to pass the mixture. Think about moving abroad with your child at least for a while. Adults can take care of themselves. In terms of nutrition, we can be patient. The wide variety of possible adult diets gives us the chance to find many alternatives without sacrificing health. Unfortunately, kids don’t have that choice.



What to do for mothers who have lost milk - this is a serious problem. The reasons can be very different, but now the most common is anxiety. Because of it, women lower the level of oxytocin, which is responsible for milk production. Lactation may also disappear due to extreme fatigue.

Both are especially important now, during the war. Women fear for themselves, their children and their men. Particularly stressful are those whose husbands or fathers are on the front lines. There's too much pressure on women. Those who have recently given birth are the hardest. What can be done to bring back lactation?



You can drink lactogon drinks. The simplest recipe: 1 glass of hot milk and a spoonful of cumin. You need to brew and insist for about two hours. Do not forget about foods with high protein content. lean on meat and fish. Dairy products will not be superfluous either.



You can do self-massage and warming baths. Of course, do not forget about the large amount of water. Often due to stress, we forget to eat on time, and so few people remember water in peacetime. It is necessary to eat well not only mothers, but also everyone else. It is important to give the body energy to control stress and fear.
