Methods for babies fed with pure milk powder

After giving birth, mothers find that they have no breast milk to feed their babies, or friends who suffer from congenital breast hyperplasia are unable to feed their children due to this problem. In this case, the children need to use milk powder. Next, let us understand whether babies fed with pure milk powder are healthy.

Improper method of preparing milk powder

Improper water temperature for mixing. Each can of milk powder is clearly marked with the required water temperature, which is generally around 40°C. Too high water temperature will destroy the nutrients in the milk powder, such as vitamins C and B, causing the baby to be malnourished; at the same time, it will cause the protein to denature and become inactive, making it unable to be digested and absorbed, leading to indigestion and getting angry.

Drinking too much milk powder will also cause internal heat

Improper preparation order

The normal sequence for preparing infant formula is to add the formula to warm water. If you pour the milk powder into the bottle first and then mix it with warm water, this will cause the milk powder to be unevenly moistened, lumps to form and not fully dissolved. The brewed milk is difficult for the baby to digest, leading to indigestion and internal heat.

Improper mixing ratio

If the milk is too concentrated, it will increase the burden on the baby's intestines and kidneys, leading to digestive disorders, constipation, and getting angry; if the milk is too dilute, the baby is prone to nutritional deficiencies, resulting in small size, emaciation, etc. 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.

There are tips for choosing milk powder

When parents choose formula milk for their babies, they should try to choose refined vegetable oil formulas. Babies will not get irritated after drinking it, their stools will be loose and soft, and calcium and fat will be well absorbed, which helps the infant's bone development and energy absorption and utilization.

A good way to add complementary food

Add complementary foods appropriately. It is best to chop spinach, cabbage, green vegetables, shepherd's purse, etc., put them into rice porridge and cook them together to make vegetable porridge for your baby. The large amount of cellulose and other food residues contained in vegetables can promote intestinal peristalsis and achieve the purpose of laxative.
