Often, newborns are diagnosed with an allergy to mixtures that are made on the basis of cow's milk, and even adapted options are not suitable for all babies. In this case, pediatricians recommend switching to baby food, which contains goat milk. However, not all manufacturers can offer such a product to the consumer, and in shops there is little choice. Only a few companies boast the release of such food. Among its species in a special place is a mixture of “Mamako”, reviews of which must be studied, because not every mother knows the brand. The article will detail the product originally from Spain. At its core, it has goat milk and is additionally enriched with all the minerals and vitamins necessary for the full development of the child. In addition, goat milk is a natural source of selenium, calcium and zinc.
Who needs the food?
"Mamako" - a mixture of goat milk, which is intended to feed children from birth. It is recommended for those babies who have allergies or digestion of cow protein. Also, doctors advise the product to be offered to children with weight loss or in the presence of allergic reactions. With digestive disorders and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, goat milk-based nutrition can be prescribed, because its protein is absorbed by the child’s body faster and better than cow's.
Who releases
Mamako baby formula is a product of two factories located in Serbia and Spain. At each stage of production, all processes pass complete control by specialists from the Ministry of Agriculture, located in Spain. All equipment used is German, which was specially manufactured using ComediaMed technology.

Moreover, it was established that the quality meets the standards of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and Rospotrebnadzor.
Unique composition
Unlike the usual baby food, which is made on the basis of milk protein, the Mamako mix is made with goat. Reviews of mothers confirm that it is absorbed quickly and completely, allergic manifestations are not observed and the baby is steadily gaining weight. Pediatricians emphasize that for the successful development of the mental and physical abilities of the baby, various trace elements are necessary. Especially important is the intake of iodine, calcium and iron:
- Iodine. Responsible for metabolism.
- Calcium. It is necessary for the formation of the skeleton, the growth of future teeth and proper bone growth.
- Iron. It is necessary to saturate the body with oxygen.
If the little man lacks these substances, then, most likely, anemia and rickets can develop.
In this regard, an additional amount of these elements was added to the Mamako mixture in goat milk. Experts' reviews also show that trace elements are well absorbed by infants, because goat protein is present in the composition.
In addition to all the necessary vitamins, probiotics and prebiotics are included in the diet, the latter being included in the form of oligosaccharides.

Mixture "Mamako": reviews of pediatricians
The product has obvious advantages that have been evaluated by pediatricians. Quite often there are children to whom conventional mixtures are not suitable. In this case, parents are encouraged to transfer the child to food from goat milk. Among other brands, Mamako has the following advantages, which were appreciated by doctors:
- The diet contains a large amount of iron, iodine and calcium. As a result, the development of such popular ailments as anemia and rickets can be prevented.
- Goat milk, which is used to make the baby formula, is skimmed, which is the best option for the baby’s digestive system. With such nutrition, children are not colic, there are no problems with stools and the load on the liver is reduced.
- The composition contains prebiotics and probiotics. Substances contribute to the proper digestion process, and oligosaccharides are of significant benefit to a fragile organism.
- The content of omega-3 acids in the mixture is reduced. Polyunsaturated fatty acids provide invaluable benefits for both the adult body and the newborn. However, for their best digestibility, the necessary proportions and the presence of other acids are necessary.
