What brand of milk powder is good for newborns The perfect formula is the key

As a mother of two who frequently visits major parenting websites, I often see the most common question being: Which brand of infant formula is best? Indeed, as more parents from the post-80s and 90s generations become conscious about their babies' early nutrition, there is a growing emphasis on breastfeeding. Even in situations where breast milk is insufficient right after childbirth, parents hope that their baby's first formula will closely resemble mother's milk. Among the dazzling array of formula brands on the market, I would like to share my experience on how to choose the right one for newborns.

One thing is clear: whether you are browsing through a maternity store or a supermarket, you will find an increasing number of formula brands. Ever since I started choosing formula for my older child, I have ignored those brands that I have never heard of. A good brand is not made by advertising campaigns; it is established through the experiences of countless babies. Therefore, word of mouth is crucial for a brand. I suggest listing down the brands you know and then proceeding to a detailed selection based on your baby's needs.

The source of the milk determines the fundamental quality of the formula, especially in today's context of severe atmospheric pollution. A reliable milk source is particularly vital. Parents should research and confirm that the milk sources of their selected brands meet the necessary standards. I personally favor milk sources from New Zealand, which is among the world’s top-quality milk sources and the only country globally without mad cow disease. There are many formula brands from New Zealand, but I chose New Zealand Nutrilon for my children, a brand recommended by friends around me. With its status as the "national team" of the dairy industry and its unique, scarce milk source in New Zealand, Nutrilon made an excellent first impression on me.

Let's talk about the formula itself, which is the main event. For new parents wondering about the best formula for newborns, a good formula means one with an easy-to-digest and comprehensive nutritional profile that supports robust growth in babies. Nutrilon stands out in my heart as such a brand. The Nutrilon Profutura Infant Formula that I gave to my child contains a unique LNG formula - L represents lactoferrin, N for neutral oligosaccharides, and G for nucleotides. Lactoferrin is a core component of immune proteins in breast milk and an essential part of a formula that closely mimics breast milk. It not only boosts the baby's immunity but also aids in iron absorption, an ingredient missing from many formulas on the market. Neutral oligosaccharides help balance the intestinal environment and promote calcium absorption for bone development, while nucleotides increase antibody levels and reduce the occurrence of constipation and diarrhea. These three nutrients work synergistically to protect the baby's intestinal health and enhance immunity. Additionally, Nutrilon Profutura contains DHA, ARA, choline, taurine, and other nutrients that contribute to the development of the baby's brain and eyes, making the baby smarter and healthier. The old saying goes that formula can cause 'internal heat' and easily lead to constipation, but in essence, this often comes down to an improper choice of formula. That's why I highly recommend Nutrilon Profutura as the first choice of food for newborns to increase resistance, ensuring that babies eat well, sleep soundly, and keeping new parents from becoming overwhelmed.

After reading so much, I hope you found some helpful insights into selecting the best brand of formula for newborns. Additionally, now that my older child is in kindergarten, I add some Nutrilon colostrum powder to his formula, hoping to enhance his immunity effectively. Colostrum is the closest natural food to human breast milk in chemical composition, with bioactive components homologous to human colostrum, offering special nutritional benefits for infants. Rich in immune factors and growth factors, colostrum is known as "soft gold" for boosting immunity. I hope all parents will have the opportunity to learn more about it!
