How to prepare newborn milk powder, you should pay attention to these points

The issue of preparing milk powder for newborns is also a very important issue. When preparing milk powder for your baby, you must pay attention to proper disinfection to prevent bacterial growth, pay attention to the correct ratio of milk powder and water, and do not leave the prepared milk powder for too long.

1. Proper disinfection to prevent bacterial growth

Babies have poor resistance, and bacterial infections can make them seriously ill. While brewing milk provides nutrients for children, it also provides conditions for bacteria. Therefore, you must wash your hands with soap and water before making milk to clean the bacteria. At the same time, baby bottles, nipples, bottle caps and other mixing utensils should be boiled and disinfected to prevent the growth of bacteria.

2. Pay attention to the correct ratio of milk powder and water

When mixing milk, pay special attention to the correct ratio of milk powder and water. Generally, it is prepared according to the instructions based on the child's age. Do not make it too thick so that the baby will choke, and do not let the baby drink too light so that the baby cannot absorb nutrients.

3. Do not steam and boil milk powder repeatedly

Repeatedly steaming and boiling milk powder will not only destroy the protein, vitamins and other nutrients in the milk powder, but will also have an adverse effect on the baby's stomach. Repeated boiling of milk powder changes its original nutrient structure, thus losing its nutritional value. Moreover, repeatedly steamed and boiled milk powder is prone to produce bubbles, and babies' stomachs are more fragile and can easily get upset.

4. Do not leave the prepared milk powder for too long before feeding your baby

If the milk powder is left for a long time after being soaked, not only will the temperature drop but it will also easily breed bacteria. It is best for your baby to finish the prepared milk powder within two hours. Otherwise, the milk powder that has lost its temperature and has bacteria will make the baby feel uncomfortable. It is best to let your baby breastfeed regularly, which not only allows you to control the preparation time of milk powder but also allows your baby to develop regular eating habits.

5. How to test the temperature of the milk powder

When feeding your baby, try to see if the temperature is right. So what method should we try? Parents can drop a drop of milk powder on their hands. If it is not hot, it is just the right temperature. Never try to use your mouth. This will not only easily infect your baby with bacteria, but also the baby's esophagus is more fragile, and the temperature that adults can withstand may not be what the baby can adapt to.
