Abstract

Mother's own milk is the best source of nutrition for almost all babies. Beyond somatic growth, breast milk as a biological fluid has various other benefits, including modulation of postnatal bowel function, ontogeny immunity, and brain development. Although breastfeeding is highly recommended, breastfeeding may not always be possible, appropriate or just adequate. However, following baby's growth and development, breast milk alone is no longer enough to add nutrition to children. Because of that the baby must be given Mother's Milk Complementary Food. One milk product that has the best market is a formula, but it is not easy to choose what formula is suitable to meet the nutritional content of babies. Baby formula milk is a substitute produced by the industry for baby consumption. Infant formula tries to mimic the nutritional composition of ASI as close as possible, and is based on cow's milk or soy milk. A number of alternatives for cow milk-based formulas also exist. One of the SPK methods that can be used is PROMETHEE II. Based on the results of research using 9 criteria, namely: Energy, Fat, Sugar Protein, Carbohydrates, Sodium, Protein, Affordable Prices, More Variants of Flavor, Easy to Search and 5 Alternatives, namely: Dancow, SGM Eksplor, Vidoran Xmart, LactoGrow, Bebelac 3. The results of the assessment obtained the final result of the calculation of net flow is Vidoran Xmart (0.2075: Ranking 1), Bebelac 3 with net flow (0.0825: Ranking 2) and Dancow with net flow (0.0425: Ranking 3). It is hoped that this research can contribute to parents so that they will no doubt choose formula milk that is suitable for babies.
