Indications for the introduction of the mixture in goat milk
The mixture of Cabrite (reviews indicate that its crumbs are eaten with pleasure) is well absorbed by the children's body. Suitable for babies with protein intolerance to cow's milk and often spitting up after feeding, as well as having low lactase deficiency. It has antireflux properties. It has a delicate texture that does not irritate the gastric mucosa and is quickly absorbed by the children's body. The mixture stimulates the digestive process, removes constipation and helps to cope with diarrhea, colic and bloating.
disadvantages
The Cabrite product contains not only nucleotides and prebiotics, but also probiotics, or “live” dairy cultures. On the one hand, they have a positive effect on immunity, and on the other, they inhibit the formation of the natural intestinal microflora.
Mixtures in goat's milk, as well as in cow's, can cause allergies, since beta-casein belongs to animal proteins. In case of an allergic reaction to proteins, special hypoallergenic products should be chosen. In this case, specialists should deal with the selection of food for the crumbs.
And yet, which is better - "Nanny" or "Cabrite"?
There are many mixtures on the market, but the most popular in goat milk are Nanny and Cabrita. They contain only casein proteins. Both the first and second companies produce mixtures for the following age categories: for children aged 0-6 months, from 6 to 12 months, older than twelve months. The first mixture has a version of "Nanny Classic", which is intended for babies from 0 to 12 months.
Both mixtures are adapted and as close as possible to natural nutrition in their composition. Made from goat milk with a low protein content. Nanny uses only dried goat milk, and the mixture is considered casein (ratio - 20/80), while Cabrite uses partially skim milk and a concentrate of goat milk whey proteins with a casein index of 60/40.
In the manufacture of the mixture, the structure of goat milk changes. Most of it is replaced with vegetable oils and fish oil, but it is natural fats that give the result when processing eaten food in the intestines. So, in the Cabrite there are fewer such components than in the Nanny.
The development of mental abilities and the formation of the nervous system are affected by polyunsaturated fatty acids, so it is important that the mixtures contain them. Also, products for children should contain arachinic and docosahexaenoic acids, which play an important role in the formation of the central nervous system and retina. Both mixtures meet these requirements.
Many experts do not recommend buying baby food containing palm oil. In “Nanny” it is not, while “Cabrite” contains this component. Both mixtures have a vitamin-mineral complex that meets all the needs of the child’s body, but the iron in Carbit is less than in Nanny.
Also, the “Nanny Classic” mixture does not contain nucleotides and prebiotics, unlike the “Nanny-1.2” and “Cabri-1.2.3” that contain them. Nucleotides are involved in strengthening the immune system, and prebiotics maintain the stability of the intestinal microflora. Such mixtures are not given to children suffering from diarrhea.
Cabrite, unlike Nanny, contains a probiotic. These are live bifidobacteria plus a prebiotic. Such a composition has a beneficial effect not only on the intestinal microflora, but also on immunity, but at the same time it can have a negative effect on the formation of the intestinal microflora.
Both mixtures are expensive; they are not easy to find in a regular store.
Cost
The Cabrita mixture (the price makes the product inaccessible to many mothers) is packaged in cans of 400 and 800 g. For 400 g, you will have to pay 1000–1300 rubles for the store, and 1800–2000 rubles for 800 g. for the can. This is an expensive and high-quality mixture.
