Introduction to feeding temperature for newborns

For newborns, correct care methods are the key to the healthy growth of the child. So what is the temperature for feeding newborns? Newborns are at a critical time of growth, so you must pay attention to the temperature when feeding your baby. The right temperature is crucial to the baby's health. If the temperature is too high, the nutrients in the milk powder will be scalded to death.

The water temperature for making milk should be around 40 degrees. Do not use boiling water and then let it cool, as this will destroy the nutritional components of the milk. When testing the temperature, drop some milk on the back of your hand. It is fine as long as it is not hot. Do not test it by drinking from an adult's mouth. This is inaccurate and unhygienic. In summer, if the baby is not feeding well, the milk can be slightly cooler and the bath water temperature can be slightly lower.

Make sure to feed the baby fully each time. When breastfeeding, feed for 10 to 15 minutes on each side. We often joke with our babies, "This is not a snack." Try to keep your baby awake while feeding. If your baby starts to doze off before he's full, scratch his feet, rub his cheeks, or hold the nipple back. Try to feed your baby enough to last until the next feeding.

When it's time to feed, wake your baby up. You should let your baby sleep through the night instead of sleeping during the day and crying at night. What I do is, when it’s almost time to feed, I open the baby’s room door, go in and draw the curtains, and let the baby wake up slowly. If it is time to feed the baby and the baby is still sleeping, I will pick up the baby and give him to someone who likes the baby, such as the child's father, grandfather, grandmother or other relatives and friends, and ask them to gently wake the baby up. They will talk to the baby softly, kiss him, or help him take off some clothes, so that the baby can wake up slowly.

I hope that the above analysis on the feeding temperature of newborns will be helpful to the parents of newborns. I also hope that parents can learn more about the relevant knowledge of caring for babies, so that they can feed their babies healthily and let their babies grow more healthily. Parents should also pay attention to the care of their children.
