ARTIFICIAL
OR
SUPPLEMENTARY
FEEDING
ARTIFICIAL FEEDING
Introduction:-
 Artificial feeding should be started only if
mother is unable to breastfeed the baby
 Mothers who are not motivated for
breastfeeding may use this as an excuse for
top feeding their babies.
Meaning
 Artificial feeding means -to feed the child
other than breast milk.
 It involves the use of breast milk
substitutes in the form of liquid milk,
i.e.fresh cows or buffalo’s milk or
commercially available dried whole milk.
Aims of artificial feeding:-
-to provide adequate nutrition to
the infant
-to substitute breast milk and
provide nutrients approx. as same
as breastmilk
-to fullfil the needs of the child
for proper growth and
development
Indications for artificial
feeding-
1.Death or absence of
mother
2. Prolonged maternal
illness
3.Complete failure of
breast milk production
4.Absolute
contraindication of
breast feeding
5.Expressed breast
milk is not available
Factors contributing to rising
incidence of artificial feeding:-
Lack of interest in breast feeding
Wrong beliefs and ignorance related to
breastfeeding
Increasing numbers of working
mothers
Aping the western countries
Changing lifestyle
Availability of alternatives of mother’s milk
Publicity and appealing advertisements
Principles of artificial feeding-
1. The decision of giving artificial
feeding must be taken after failure of
all efforts to breastfeed the baby
2. Feeding should be given by spoon
and bowel or cup or glass
3. In sick or preterm infant, the
feeding can be given with dropper
Cont….
4. Bottle feeding must be avoided and mothers
need explanation or information about the hazards
of bottle feeding
5. Strict cleanliness in the preparation and feeding
procedure should be practiced.
6. Milk left over from previous feed should not be
used again.
7. Feeding must be given with the calculated
amount of fluids and calories according to the
baby’s expected weight.
8. Correct technique of
feeding to be followed.
9. The milk should be warm,
not too hot or cold.
10. An average 15 to 20
minutes may be needed to feed
the total quantity, as required.
11. No. of feed can be 6 to 8
times in infant and 3 to 5 times
in older babies.
Cont….
12. Hygienic measures are very
important.
13. If dried milk is used, it should be
reconstituted as per direction given
by the manufacturer.
14. Burping may be needed to allow
to push out the swallowed air and to
prevent vomiting, abdominal
discomfort
15. Supplementation of vitamins and
minerals may be needed for babies to
prevent deficiency condition.
Choice of milk-
Cow milk
Buffalo
milk
Formula
milk
COW’S MILK VS HUMAN MILK
COW’S MILK
PROTEIN
Has more protein
as calves need more
to enable them to
grow quickly
HUMAN MILK
Need less protein
and more fat as
required in
development of
brain, spinal cord
and nerves
Protein divided into CASEIN: WHEY PROTEINS
Normal ratio in cow milk is 80:20
Normal ratio in human milk is 40:60
CASEIN is difficult to digest and linked to various
disease, allergies and diabetes in children
FAT
Cow milk contain
3.9g
Contain more of
saturated fat
Human milk
contain 4.1g
Contain more of
unsaturated fat
CALCIUM
Cow milk contain
120 mg /100ml
Large quantity
difficult for
digestion for a
newborn baby
Human milk
contain
34mg/100ml
Easily absorbed
Cow milk contain
very little iron,
vitamin A, C & D
cow milk has high
protein, sodium,
potassium,
phorphorus,
chloride which
increase renal load
Important points-
 Use katori spoon or cup for feeding
 Avoid using bottle for feeding which is a
source of infection.
 If used, prefer glass bottles instead of
plastic or metal bottles.
 Clean feeding vessels and rubber Nipples
using bottle brush & fresh clean water after
each feed.
Cont…
 Bottle and nipple need to be sterilized by
boiling before each feed.
 Boil rubber nipple for 1 or 2 minutes only
&bottle for at least 10 minutes.
 keep bottles and nipples in covered
container, till these are used
Preparation of milk
 If cow or buffalo milk,boil properly,
boiling makes caesin curds finer and
easily digestible
 Commercially available dried powered
milks are reconstitued by mixing –
one level measure of milk powder
+
30 ml of water
Feed requirement
Age No. of feed in
24 hrs
Amount (approx)
At birth At least 6-10 Birth to Day 3-baby will
need:- -Frequent feeding
 ½ oz -2 oz at each feeding
2 weeks-1
months
At least 6-10 2-4 oz (60-120 ml)
1-2 Months 6-8 2-4 oz (60-120 ml)
3-5 Months 5-7 5-6 oz (150-180 ml)
6-8 Months 4-5 6-8 oz (180-240 ml)
9-11 Months 3-4 6-8 oz (180-240 ml)
12 Months 0-3 6 oz (180 ml)
Hazardous factors related to
artificial feeding-
Danger of
contamination
Multiple
nutritional
deficiencies
Gastro-
enteritis
Long term sequeal of exclusive
artificial feeding leads to:-
Lactose
intolerance
Obesity
Atherosclerosis
Poor learning
abilities
Poor parent
