EXPERIENCE OF USAGE OF ADAPTED MILK FORMULA IN MATERNITY AND CHILDREN HOSPITALS OF DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Breast milk is an optimal food for infants of the first months of life, but there are certain contradictions to early onset of breastfeeding. These contradictions can be due to mothers or children causes. Maternal contradictions are: severe conditions and decompensation conditions, as well as several infectious diseases. Children contradictions include low Apgar score, severe prematurity, severe maxillofacial congenital defects, II–III stages of cerebral circulation disturbances, severe asphyxia. In all of these cases an appropriate adapted milk formula which meet all the modern standards and has a composition as much as possible close to the breast milk, should be chosen. Aim: to study tolerability of adapted milk formula in full-term infants at the age of 0–6 months old, administered to different medical facilities of the Russian Federation. Patients and methods: 3567 infants (among them 2849 from department of neonatal physiology and 718 — from general pediatric departments) were included into the open-label multicenter postmarketing clinical trial. Results: good tolerability of the milk formula was established in 3543 (99,3%) of infants, 24 (0,7%) of children had undesirable reaction in the form of erythema, which is not higher than the mean population values. Conclusions: milk formula has good tolerability and can be recommended as a primary feeding product for the healthy full-term infants if breast-feeding is impossible due to various causes.
