Since children returned to school, the number of children infected with Covid-19 has increased more. Do you have any expert advice for parents on what they can do to protect their children from infection?
Many mothers ask me questions about post-Covid, in fact, there is no specific way to prevent post-Covid happening, the most effective way is to not let children get infected. The most superior solution is vaccination, but currently, whether or not to vaccinate their children still makes many parents wonder, so increasing resistance is the most comprehensive way to protect children against the risk of infection. And if there is an infection, the baby can easily pass it.
This is also the period when the weather changes seasons, in addition to the return of children to school, parents are even more worried about their children’s health. So what do you need to do, experts?
There are actually three times when children are more likely to get sick: At weaning, when starting preschool or returning to school after a long break, and when the seasons change, the weather changes. You should focus on your baby’s foundational factors such as digestive health and micronutrient balance to help him cope with these stages. Children who do not get sick, a mother’s job is not to prevent her child from getting sick, but to best prepare her and accompany her to overcome it. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be for your child to conquer the first health challenges of his life.

When it comes to strengthening the child’s resistance, HMO is currently receiving great attention from breastfeeding mothers. So does HMO really help children strengthen their resistance?
HMO is a complex carbohydrate, present in breast milk, and occupies the third largest volume, after Lactose and Lipid. HMOs are prebiotics, but have a more specific biological activity than conventional fibers previously known to mothers, with very special effects: HMOs are food for intestinal beneficial bacteria while the bacteria can harmful bacteria cannot use HMO, beneficial bacteria are an extremely important part of building gastrointestinal health, and the digestive system is the root of the body’s resistance, so HMO has the effect of promoting health. push, strengthen resistance.
Not only that, HMOs also counteract the adhesion of pathogens to the cell surface through a clever trapping mechanism, causing pathogens to attach to the HMOs instead of the intestinal mucosal surface and prematurely die. excreted out. The HMOs also help strengthen the intestinal mucosal barrier, while the part of the HMO that is absorbed into the bloodstream helps to balance the immune response. It is for these reasons that now, after many studies, there have appeared formulas with HMO added to the formula, most commonly 1-2 types of HMO, in particular, there are formulas with added HMOs. Up to 5 types of HMOs out of a total of more than 200 types of HMOs are found in breast milk to help support babies who are not fortunate enough to have enough breast milk.
There are more than 200 types of HMOs in breast milk, divided into 3 main subgroups
Does adding up to 5 HMOs while other products only add 1-2 HMOs make any difference?
Add as much as possible, the more variety the better! Just imagine there are more than 200 types of HMOs in breast milk. Although it has not been proven, it can be conjectured that gut bacteria will favor different types of HMOs, so a rich supply of HMOs is like having a “hearty meal” for an army of beneficial bacteria. this bacteria.
What are the benefits of these 5 types of HMOs for children, experts?
I also constantly update the latest nutrition research, according to what I recently read, the 5 types of HMOs including 2’FL, DFL, LNT, 3’SL, 6’SL are the most studied HMOs. and clinical studies also show a lot of benefits related to effective resistance enhancement such as helping to increase beneficial bacteria, reducing harmful bacteria thereby helping to establish a healthy intestinal microflora, helping to reduce the risk of disease. some types of infectious diarrhea, helping to reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Not only has a good effect on resistance, some recent studies also show that the 5 types of HMOs I mentioned above have additional benefits on the brain and bones that help support children’s cognitive and cognitive development. high. Thus, 5 types of HMOs including 2’FL, DFL, LNT, 3’SL, 6’SL help bring a lot of health benefits to your baby.
Mothers should choose formula products containing diverse HMO ingredients, in which groups 2’FL, DFL, LNT, 3’SL, 6’SL should be prioritized because they have been proven to help babies strengthen effective resistance
In summary, increasing resistance is absolutely essential so that parents can help their children stay healthy, thereby discovering many new things and developing their full potential. However, I advise parents to embark on the journey to increase resistance from now on, do not wait until the child starts to get sick to start increasing resistance because any dietary change or change takes time for the child to develop. may change. And when thinking about ingredients that help increase resistance in breast milk, immediately think of HMO, try to maintain breastfeeding for as long as possible because this is the most effective solution to help children increase their resistance effectively. In case the baby does not have enough breast milk or for some reason cannot breastfeed, then I recommend choosing formula with added HMO, adding as many HMOs as possible and the more diverse types of HMOs possible. Choosing formula with the addition of 5 types of HMOs 2’FL, DFL, LNT, 3’SL, 6’SL is also a good choice because this group of HMOs has been clinically proven to help children increase their resistance effectively. .
Wishing parents always take care of their children’s health and develop their full potential!
