‘MOTHERS MILK IS BEST FOR YOUR BABY’
No formula milk can substitute for breastfeeding. But, you may need to start formula feeding your baby in some unavoidable situations. There is plenty of formula milk available in the market. In this post, we will be discussing two common formulas available in the market- LACTOGEN1 and NAN PRO 1.
Both of these popular formula brands come from the house of NESTLE, the largest player in the formula milk market.
LACTOGEN1
NAN PRO1
COMPARISON OF NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF 1000ML PREPARED FORMULA AND HUMAN MILK
(*Green color denotes a higher amount in comparison to another brand)
(**Composition of breast milk changes with the age of the baby, race, ethnicity, etc. You may find the different values of breast milk nutrients in another place.)
1. MACRONUTRIENTS
You can notice that NAN PRO 1 has
- Better whey: casein ratio(more like breast milk, which is better for digestion and absorption)
- Contain nucleotides ( helps in the proper development of the digestive system, immune system, and nervous system; promotes physical growth)
- Contain DHA & Arachidonic acid( helps in the growth of the nervous system and vision)
- More polyunsaturated fat.
Other parameters are similar in both of these formulas.
2. MINERALS
Most minerals are present more or less in similar quantities in both formulas.
3. VITAMINS & OTHERS
Most vitamins are in higher quantity in NAN PRO 1.
4. COST( 400 gm pack)-
LACTOGEN1-415/-
NAN PRO1- 715/-
5. DIGESTION & TASTE
Both of these formulas have good taste. The digestibility of NAN PRO 1 is a bit better than LACTOGEN 1.
FINAL VERDICT: NAN PRO 1 is better than lactogen 1 in almost all aspects. but, it has a significantly higher cost. If price is not an issue, NAN PRO 1 is the choice.
I, personally don’t like any formula milk as it will always be inferior to mother’s milk.
