How to choose a good formula milk for baby

Choosing a formula milk for babies is not as easy as we think.Baby  does not fit with milk that  we give will get diarrhea.
the majority of us as parents do not understand well with the existing nutrients in infant formula. That is why many parents are confused when faced with choosing sus
Tips on choosing infant formula:
The first thing to be a concern in choosing infant formula is the rate of infant age. Adjust the age of the baby, which is generally divided into 2 types, 0-6 months and 6-12 months of follow-up milk or formula. At present, many maternity hospitals and DSA (read: Child Specialists) which apply exclusively breastfed for 6 months. But if there are problems with the mother's milk, then do
ctor would suggest a formula as ASI.
Classification of age for infant formula based on the baby's digestive conditions.
In general, infants aged 0-6 months, the digestive system is not complete, while the majority of the age above 6 months has started to improve and even already being given extra food. With differences and problems, the nutrients in milk formulas for both age groups and even then adjusted.
The second thing to note is that there are three types of infant formula when viewed from the level of infants allergic to milk formula. Three types are regular milk formula, soy milk and elemental.
 If Little when tested in one formula that became our choice and no problems like allergies it can be argued that Little can consume milk formula made from cow's milk and fortified (added) various nutrients to approximate the nutritional characteristics of milk and infant nutritional adequacy rate.
 If Little had problems with regular milk formula, in general, your doctor will advise us to use formula milk made from soybeans. It occurs in infants who are allergic to cow's milk fat.
 But if Little was also troubled by the usual formula milk (cow's milk) or formula milk from soybeans, then the doctor will advise us to use elemental milk or formula milk casein hydrolysis. This milk is basically the formula milk fat content is reduced but the other nutrients in multiply.
We should not be forced to give a specific formula in infants regardless of the level of compatibility problems and infant formula
Do not be influenced ads that say milk formulas A, B or C contains a substance - a particular substance, without clarifying with a dietitian or pediatrician our subscriptions. Nor should we be affected and forced to buy expensive infant formula, but note the nutritional adequacy of the numbers. What is the meaning given formula milk expensive when the number and rate of less nutritional adequacy and should not be diluted or less than the dose.

The cause of the baby's Flat head syndrome

Supine sleep in infants is very useful for preventive SIDS, but if your baby is too long in the supine sleeping position will result in the occurrence of an abnormality in the shape of his head, called Flat head syndrome, or better known as the head peyang.

Head peyang not only can happen on the back of the head only, but also the side of the baby's head. This is usually caused by a baby for too long in the position of head tilt to the left or right only during sleep.

In addition to sleeping position, head peyang in infants is also due to several causes, namely:

Craniosynostosis, which is a medical condition where the formation of bone in the baby's head
