Should boys and girls get DIFFERENT formula milk?Researchers believe the sexes may have different needs
[*]Dr Katie Hinde, from Harvard, says formula milk could be gender-specific
[*]She says monkeys produce milk that is fattier and higher in protein for male infant monkeys and milk that is higher in calcium for females
[*]She also says some women produce such poor quality breast milk that their babies could be better off with formula milk
Formula milk needs to be reformulated – for boys and girls.
Researcher Katie Hinde said just as we produce different deodorants for men and women, we should consider making gender-specific formula milk.
Dr Hinde also said that as breast milk varies so much from woman to woman, in some cases formula may be better for the baby than its mother’s milk.
She spoke out after showing that nursing monkeys make different milk for boys and girls.
Milk for male babies is fattier and higher in protein and the milk made for the firstborn male is particularly rich.
In contrast, the milk for female babies is less rich but there is more of it. It is also higher in bone-building calcium.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual conference also heard that the few humans studies carried out have had mixed results. But some have also hinted at sex-specific differences.
There are also differences in the way the sexes respond to breast milk.
Dr Hinde, of Harvard University in the U.S., has shown male and female monkeys respond to the stress hormone cortisol in different ways.
And work on human babies found that girls, but not boys, get more fractious if their mother’s milk is high in cortisol.
However, in rat studies at least, this has long term benefits, with the animals actually better at coping with stressful situations than others.
Research also shows that the quality of breast milk varies greatly from woman to woman, with different amounts of vitamins, minerals, sugars, fats and other nutrients.
In some cases, the quality is so low that formula may be better.
However, women are made to feel guilty if they don’t breastfeed, said Dr Hinde.
Calling for more research on sex-specific formula milk, she said: ‘Public health would be aided if greater attention was paid to this.
‘We have good reasons to be sceptical of a one-size-fits-all formula milk.’

研究指婴儿奶粉应分男女
【本报综合报道】原来除了用作除体臭的止汗剂可分男女，奶粉亦可因应需要，分开男女婴儿使用。美国一名女教授最近发现，猴子妈妈的奶水成分，会因应牠诞下小猴的性别不同而有所差异，故她认为奶粉制造商亦可作参考，生产不同配方的奶粉。
动物母乳随胎性别改变美国哈佛大学教授欣德（Katie Hinde）前日在一个科学会议上表示，她早前研究猴子妈妈的奶水成分后，发现如果牠诞下的是雄性小猴，其奶水会含较多脂肪和蛋白质，若首胎是雄性的话，所含的脂肪与蛋白质便会更为丰富。
相反，猴子妈妈诞下的是雌性小猴，奶中有助骨骼生长的钙含量则会较多。因此，欣德认为奶粉制造商，应该因应男女婴儿的不同需要，生产不同配方的奶粉。
另外，雄性和雌性猴子对压力贺尔蒙皮质醇亦有不同反应，其中雌性在母乳中摄取大量皮质醇的话，便会变得更为烦躁。
欣德又发现，母乳的成分因人而异，所含的维他命、矿物质及其他营养分量各有不同，有时奶粉的质素可能较母乳为佳，故此女性毋须因不能为婴儿哺乳而感到内疚。
在网上查了一下，原来国内早已经有奶粉厂商推出了男女不同配方的婴儿奶粉。看来，商家的脑筋比科学家动得快！

有这样的奶粉？刚搜了一下还真有，国外的国内的都有啊。原来美乐宝就有这样的。 senjies 发表于 2014-2-16 14:39 static/image/common/back.gif

因为我家孩子很大了，对奶粉我也不太了解。
我对美乐宝这个品牌没有认识，其他用过的爸妈能否确认一下？
用不着分男女吧~，如果是我，应该不会买这种概念奶粉的，可是只是一个噱头而已 唉，母乳喂养是王道呀…… 哈哈 这个好
而且男孩的用蓝罐
女孩的用粉罐
以示区分 应该没啥区别吧
