REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Some parents are used to giving formula milk compared to fresh milk aka fresh milk. In fact, according to the doctor, milk that has been turned into powder has reduced nutritional content.
“It’s just that, to avoid deficiencies, usually formula milk is added. We call it fortification, for example adding vitamins so that it can compensate fresh milk,” said a clinical nutrition specialist from Siloam TB Simatupang Hospital, Jakarta, Christopher Andrian at the event media gathering “Milk Coffee: Let’s #StartFresh with Greenfields Fresh Milk Pasteurization of the Largest Livestock in Indonesia!” in Jakarta, Friday (7/7/2023).
Want to find natural milk, including its components? Christopher’s doctor advised to choose fresh milk. Another case if the child has an allergy or lactose intolerance. If you have allergies, you can look for non-lactose milk.
Actually, whether or not formula milk is needed for children depends on their nutritional needs. For example, he has malnutrition.
“We can’t force him to drink fresh milk every day. We also have to look for calorie-dense milk so that he can gain weight quickly. The needs are different. That’s why formula milk needs a recipe, it can’t be arbitrary,” he said.
