Should We Use Whey Instead Of Breastfeeding?

Whey cannot replace milk and especially breast milk because it does not contain enough nutrients like breast milk, especially low protein content in whey.
What is whey?
Previously, whey was made by picking up the top of the milk and cooling it. Today, manufacturers use centrifuges to separate the top of milk, which is whey. Depending on how you prepare it, there are different types of whey.
In addition, there are artificial whey made from vegetable oils (coconut oil, palm oil,

...), adding casein (cow's milk protein) and lactose (the type of sugar found in cow's milk)

Observing the label on the whey box, we will see that the main ingredient of whey is fat.



The amount of fat in a jar of whey is twice as high as the fat in a regular glass of milk of a child. Therefore, this is a very high power supply. However, the protein and vitamins and minerals in the whey are very small. Therefore, parents should not use whey to replace milk for children.
Children should use whey
Whey is high in fat, providing a lot of energy, so it is good for those who are in need of energy: children over one year of age are underweight, malnourished and newly ill. For these children, mothers should use whey as a snack for children.
The amount of whey you can feed a day depends on the age, weight and type of whey purchased

On average, children from 6 to 12 months old can eat 1 box of whey per day, children over 1 year: can eat 1-2 boxes / day, depending on the child's tolerance level.



Children should not eat too much can cause bloating, diarrhea due to too high fat content.
Babies should not use whey
- Children under 6 months old.
- Children are overweight - obese.
- The child is having diarrhea.
- Children allergic to cow's milk.

According to the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), it is necessary for infants under 6 months of age to exclusively breastfeed. Therefore, only whey should be fed after 6 months to supplement energy to help children gain weight better. If using whey instead of breast milk, babies will be deficient in protein, easily leading to malnutrition, anemia due to micronutrient deficiency.




Things need to notice

Whey is very susceptible to damage, so it should be stored in a refrigerator where the temperature is relatively stable. Do not leave whey on the refrigerator door because opening the refrigerator door regularly will not keep the temperature stable.
After buying, you should use it as soon as possible. Only whey should be purchased from reputable agents with good storage conditions. When buying, pay attention to the expiry date, the ingredients are shown on the household.
