A few important points

When feeding Semper Bifidus (instructions for use details all the nuances of preparing this mixture) it is important to observe hygiene to prevent the entry of various kinds of infections into the body of the child. Also, in order to dilute the milk powder well and at the same time to preserve the beneficial substances, it is important to observe the temperature regime. The optimum temperature of boiled water for the preparation of the mixture is 36-37 ° C. Before feeding the baby, you should check the thermal state of the food and drip some liquid food on the back of the hand.

When preparing children's food, you need to withstand the correct proportion of water and dry powder. The liquid consistency will not feed the baby properly, does not cause a feeling of satiety, and in time can provoke a deficiency of nutrients. Excessively thick food will overload the stomach and intestines. Will give an additional burden to the kidneys.

Semper Bifidus: instructions for use

The daily amount of a dry mixture for children of the first ten days of life is calculated as 2% of the weight of the newborn, multiplied by the number of days of his life.

To babies older than ten days the mixture "Semper Bifidus" is given in the following proportions:

• From 10 days to 2 months - 1/5 of the child's body weight, somewhere around 600-800 ml per day;
• From 2 to 4 months - 1/6 of the weight of crumbs, it is 800-950 ml per day;
• From 4 to 6 months - 1/7 of the body weight of the baby, 900-1000 ml per day;
• Over 6 months - 1/8 or 1/9 of the live weight of the baby, approximately 1000-1100 ml per day.

You can calculate the daily diet of the baby and calories. This approach is more accurate and correct. So, the baby before reaching the age of six months, should eat 115 kcal / kg per day. After six months, the caloric content of the meal for a child decreases slightly and is equal to 110 kcal / kg. In order to calculate the daily amount of food for babies, you should find out the value of the dry mixture in kcal. Nutrition of maternal (breast) milk fluctuates around 700 kcal / l.

The resulting figure will become the daily norm.
