Li Wenjun: Breastmilk is the first food for infants and young children should encourage breastfeeding

“Breastmilk is the best food for babies. It is the best thing that nature has left for us. We talk about the benefits of breastfeeding, including not only economics, emotional ties, but also its nutrition, immunity.” in 2012 China At the Women and Children Economic Summit, Li Wenjun, medical manager of Greater China, Nestlé (China) Co., Ltd., said that from a medical perspective, breastmilk is indeed a treasure.

The “2012 China Women and Child Economic Summit” co-sponsored and organized by the Economic Daily and the China Women and Children Health Association, jointly organized by China Economic Net and China Consumer News, was held in Beijing.

Why insist on breastfeeding?

New research found that breast milk contains probiotics. Colostrum is beneficial to humans. It is very helpful for the establishment of early intestinal microecology and early nutritional support.

In addition, the nutritional content of breast milk varies according to the child's growth and development and age. According to the latest research results, the composition secreted by breast milk for boys and girls is also inconsistent. There is currently no formula that can adjust changes according to the child's needs.

Li Wenjun said: "Do not add anything to the exclusive breastfeeding. It is best to go from birth to six months. Don't stop breastfeeding after six months. Can you continue to feed, feed one year old, two years old, and farther? It's all right. Only after six months, the amount of breastmilk can't meet the child's growth and development needs. At this time, supplementary foods should be added, and the quality and quantity of supplementary foods are very important to the child."

Internationally, breastfeeding is also encouraged for premature infants and children below the birth weight. Because the mother's milk quality in preterm infants will be weaker, as long as you add a little breast milk fortifiers and supplements, you can still have the effect of breastfeeding. Especially for children undergoing caesarean section, the incidence of allergies will be more than five times that of natural labor. If you do not eat breast milk, it will be very harmful. Li Wenjun further emphasized that "why, from what perspective, encouraging breastfeeding is a good thing."

What about breast milk?

If breast milk is insufficient or breast milk is not enough due to reasons such as going to work, there are several measures that can guarantee continued breastfeeding. For example, there are good breast pumps and reservoirs that can squeeze milk into the refrigerator and store it.

However, if the amount of breast-feeding is low and the entire amount is reduced, then it is necessary to supplement the food according to the judgment of medical personnel or experts. It should be noted that only infant formula can be supplemented during the period from zero to six months instead of other common foods, and ordinary foods cannot meet the needs of infants.

There are several principles for the supplementary process. First, it is up to the medical staff to determine which formula is more appropriate based on the actual situation of the child.

In fact, there is still a difference between the formula and the formula. In addition, formulas are not the same for children, and the formula should be selected according to the child's digestion and absorption ability and growth and development needs.

Li Wenjun explained by way of example, “For example, a caesarean section child is best if she is breastfeeding at the beginning. However, if she is breast-wrenched, she needs to add probiotics. At this time, according to the medical staff’s suggestion, the choice of clinical research proves that There is a certain amount of probiotics in the formula. Nowadays many children supplement probiotics, if the formula itself is there, you don't need extra supplemental inhibitors."

Referring to China's infant milk formula standards, Li Wenjun believes that there are many ingredients that need further study. With the development of the economy and scientific research, infant formula standards can be modified or improved at any time. However, the formulation standards for special medical applications need to be improved as soon as possible. Because the sick child needs special nutrition, he cannot use ordinary products.
