Almost 70% of Russian women suffer from decreased secretion of mammary glands - these are the results of medical studies. Doctors say: not all young mothers realize the need to feed babies with special adaptive food and use ordinary baby products. Improper replacement of breast milk can lead to illness of the baby, so parents need to understand the types and composition of liquid milk substitutes well. Let us examine this question using the example of Agusha.
Agusha - made in Russia
Agusha has been present on the market since 2001, all products are manufactured at the Lianzovsky plant in Moscow. Since 2005, the composition of children's products manufactured here has been developed with the participation of nutritionists at the State Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. Each mixture is tested in state medical institutions.
Different nutrition for different ages
"Agusha" offers two lines of infant formula, based on the age of the child. Products for babies up to six months have the number 1 on the package, food for babies over this age is marked with the number 2. For both age categories, both liquid and dry substitutes for breast milk are produced.
In addition, baby food brand "Agusha" for each age is divided into sour milk and fresh. Pediatricians advise starting feeding the baby with fresh, and then moving on to sour-milk nutrition, gradually bringing it to half the daily diet.
Fermented milk mixtures "Agusha" provide for the prevention of dysbiosis. They contain bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the stomach and intestines of both a weakened and a healthy child.
Liquid food is available in ready-to-use form, it is enough to pour them into a bottle and sterilize by heating on a stove. Dry substitutes must be diluted with clean water.
The composition of the mixtures
The composition of the Agusha mixtures is as follows:
- whole (or skim) milk;
- lactose;
- maltodextrin;
- a mixture of vegetable fats;
- cream;
- whey protein concentrate;
- mineral premix;
- vitamin premix;
- bifidoacidophilic yeast;
- premix of nucleotides;
- water.
Pros and Cons of Agusha
Parents of infants leave generally positive reviews about this brand of nutrition on the forums. Among the advantages are the pleasant taste and low price of milk mixtures. Disadvantages: sugar, which is part of some substitutes, can cause an allergy in a child; cans with dry mixes are supplied with a very rigid lid.

We also read: how to choose a mixture
We tried this mixture and we didn’t like it. A week after the start of use, the child’s stomach ached. So I had to transfer to another mixture.
we used this mixture. The mixture is good. My daughter had a good appetite, ate her on both cheeks. Well, the plus of course is that this mixture is not so expensive.
The mixture is good and for all the time of its use I have not had a single case that I would have been disappointed in the mixture. It has everything you need, plus the child felt fine.
I do not understand those mummies who believe that our Russian food is bad and buy imported food. This mixture is good and I fed her both of my children.
I liked the mixture of Agush. She is nutritious, with everything necessary for a child. And the way my daughter reaches for a bottle suggests that she likes the mixture.
What nonsense! Reduction in the secretion of milk, research, another nonsense to promote the goods. Yes, and mothers are lazy, they believe the telly about the similarity of the mixture with breast milk, there are those who feel sorry for the chest. They feed all rubbish from infancy, and then children with allergies and so on. There can be nothing better than breast milk, but the “lack of milk” and the excuse “I am non-dairy” are the woman’s unwillingness to work hard to establish and maintain lactation.
Anastasia, I completely agree with you! Sneaky marketing ploy, they say, you don’t have milk, and that’s normal, 70% of Russian women don’t. It is presented as if it were some kind of disease, a decrease in secretion, and there is nothing to be done, and someone believes. Nothing that this secretion depends on breast stimulation? what, interestingly, for such “research”? It is outrageous by what methods the mixtures are promoted. Of course, there is nothing better than breast milk! And MOST can breastfeed! You should not be shy to seek help from consultants on GV, look for resources on lactation and not believe the advertisement of mixtures.
More precisely, it’s not even like that - UNABLE to breast-feed units - these are women with serious health problems. Lactation and the ability to feed is normal for a woman. Failure is an extremely rare disease state, and not “this is normal, right now no one has milk, ecology, etc.”
