Matviy is developing very well, he already can sit, and soon he will have his first teeth. He clearly responds to the voices of mom and dad, to the facial expressions, laughs, and plays with toys, takes them by his hands. In general, the child is healthy; he passed a course of massage. His diet is enriched with new products: vegetable soup, fruit juices or purees, low-protein pumpkin porridge and zucchini. All new diet compounds are entered strictly in certain quantities, thus, not to exceed the daily intake of phenylalanine. 

 

Medical food mixture "Anamix" is mandatory one, phenylalanine is calculated with regard to all the feeding. The boy’s mother recently got 5 cans of it. But, 2 cans she has to gave back for another parents she had borrowed it when the mixture was absent. One can of special mix food costs 920 UAH. There are mix cans for only 15 days, so, please, help to buy more to help Borkovsky to keep the child in good shape.

The baby constantly is tested on phenylalanine in the blood. The daily supplement mix “Anamix infant” is necessary for phenylalanine elimination.
