Mother's milk is the most complete nutrition for infants is irreplaceable by any formula. If mothers can not breastfeed her baby, what kind of formula should be selected?

The choice is formula with complete nutrition. It is more expensive, but for the sake of the future baby there's no harm in giving the best. At the age of infants less than one year, if that baby had to fed by formula , give them the best formula. If you have more than one year, may be bought for any formula.

The "best" Infant formula is referring to the milk with the most complete nutrition supplemented into it. The reason is, intake of supplements, would have a positive effect only if given before the baby is 18 months old, for a minimum of 18 months.

The age range is important because during the construction process is going on the brain that is crucial. Many nerve cells are formed, interwoven and used. For that, they need optimal nutrition and stimulation. After 18 months of age or older, infants generally had been given supplementary food.The function of milk was no longer crucial because the baby is getting nutrition from food he ate.

Currently, infant formula products are competing with a diverse complement the additional nutrients such as DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and ARA (Arachidonic Acid), which is not foreign to the ears of the mother.

DHA is found in higher concentrations in the brain and retina is an important component of the membrane phospholipids. Infants who received DHA in their foods showed a higher DHA content in the layers of his brain. ARA component is also important for the structure of cell membrane phospholipids and central nervous system.

Both types of these fatty acids known play an important role to optimize brain development, neural network, a network of vision, and helped establish the immune system in infants. Should ensure that levels are correct. Recommendations of FAO / WHO is 90 mg/100 g for the DHA, and 180 mg/100 g for the ARA.

Recent studies reported that children treated with milk intake of 0.36 per cent levels of DHA (90 mg DHA/100 grams) and 0.72 percent of the ARA (180 mg ARA/100 grams) during early life, at the age of 4 years has a high IQ 7 points higher than children in the control group who received milk without DHA and ARA. This clinical trial conducted by Dr E Birch, ophthalmology experts from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, and published in Birch et al.

"Another study showed that IQ scores in children aged 4 years has a correlation with IQ scores at age 17 years. This shows the existence of long-term stabilization and IQ scores indicate more or less the same height in adulthood," said Dr. Craig Jensen, Associate Professor from Baylor College of Medicine Texas Children's Hospital.
