What should I do if my baby’s urine turns yellow after drinking milk powder?

For some mothers who really have no milk, if they want to feed their babies, they must use milk powder. However, the price of milk powder is very expensive now, so you need to have sufficient financial strength. In fact, it stands to reason that no matter how good the milk powder is, it is not as good as mother’s milk. Moreover, some babies are prone to getting angry when eating milk powder. So what should I do if my baby's urine turns yellow after drinking milk powder?

1. Choose the right baby milk powder

Babies are constipated because their stools are too hard, which is caused by insoluble substances in the stool. These insoluble substances mainly come from palmitic acid and stearic acid that cannot be absorbed in the intestines and combine with calcium to form calcium soap. Therefore, it is important to control the palmitic acid and stearic acid in the baby's diet. When choosing formula milk for your baby, you should avoid infant formula milk containing ingredients such as palm oil, whole milk powder or milk fat. Try to use refined vegetable oil formula, which will not cause the baby to get irritated after drinking it and will better absorb calcium and fat, which will help the infant's bone development and energy absorption.

2. Give your baby plenty of water every day

Give your baby warm water between every two meals of milk powder, and the amount of water he drinks each time should be about one-third of the amount of milk he drinks per meal. Mothers should help their babies develop the habit of drinking warm water, especially when the weather is dry, the baby has been crying, drinking milk, or sweating a lot, and pay attention to replenishing water in time.

You can boil cabbage and white radish in water and give it to your baby to drink. To make the taste better, you can add some glucose for babies to the cooked soup, which is quite effective.

3. Train your baby to develop normal bowel habits

Your baby's bowel movements are just as important as eating. Eating is for the baby's survival and growth and development, while defecation allows the body's metabolic waste or harmful substances to be excreted in time to avoid damage to the body. It is generally advisable to let the baby defecate after eating. For example, let the baby sit on the toilet at a regular time every day. Even if there is no bowel movement, let him sit for ten minutes or so to establish a conditioned reflex of defecation, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
