Karihome milk powders are rich in quality protein, so you may see foam in the milk bottle after mixing. Rest assured this is normal and the feed is safe for consumption.
One of the reasons you find excessive bubbly foam is due to vigorously shaking of the milk bottle during milk preparation. Excessive bubbly foam (additional air) can hinder your child's digestion or cause digestion issues in little ones, making them feel uncomfortable after feeding. Should you find excessive bubbly foam after preparing a feed, scoop it out of the bottle before giving the bottle to your little one.
It is recommended to rotate and swirl the milk bottle when preparing your child's feed. Gently swirl the bottle until no bubbles appear. Try to mix it with 40 ~ 45 ° C lukewarm water, as this temperature will produce least bubbles. Do not shake the bottle up and down and from side to side, as it will cause more bubbles.
Our manufacturing process firstly uses spray-drying to make the base powder, and then uses dry-blending to mix the ingredients. It is to protect the unique ingredients in the product, such as the nutritional completeness and effectiveness of the water-soluble dietary fiber oligosaccharides.
During milk preparation, after milk powder is added to water for mixing, the fine milk powder particles will adhere to the wall of the milk bottle without affecting the safety and quality of the food. Rest assured nutrition in the product will not be lost, and it will not affect gastrointestinal absorption.
Karihome milk powder provides proper nutrition to support children's growth and development.
Whole goat milk is used to retain the milk fat before adding lactose, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Some vegetable oils are still required to top up the essential unsaturated fatty acids in goat milk,1 but the goat milk fat is not removed. The inclusion of goat milk fat retains the medium chain saturated fatty acids in goat milk,2 which are more readily absorbed than long-chain saturated fatty acids.3
The use of whole goat milk also means that nucleotides4 are also retained. As a result, there is no need to add nucleotides when making formula from whole goat milk.
