What to do if your baby gets angry after eating milk powder

There are many babies whose bodies are delicate and prone to getting angry when they are young. Compared with breastfed babies, babies who eat milk powder are more likely to get angry because milk powder is drier. When brewing milk powder, it must be brewed thinly so that it is easier for the baby to digest and absorb after eating. So what should I do if my baby gets angry after eating milk powder?

First of all, mothers should know that the symptoms of babies getting angry after eating milk powder are as follows:

When a baby gets angry, symptoms such as dry, sour and smelly stools, difficulty defecating for several days, yellow and scanty urine, abdominal distension and discomfort, vomiting, sour breath, red and swollen gums, reduced or no appetite, irritability, crying, restless sleep, facial rashes, increased eye mucus, etc. may appear.

Once it is determined that the baby's fever is caused by milk powder, in addition to choosing suitable milk powder for the baby, methods such as drinking more water, massaging, and adding complementary foods at the right time can also help babies who eat milk powder reduce fever.

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.

4. Add complementary food to your baby at the right time

Fruit juice and vegetable juice: After the baby is four or five months old, the mother can consider adding complementary foods to the baby. You can feed the baby some fresh vegetable water or fruit juice, which can also play a role in "clearing heat".

Pureed complementary foods: As the baby grows older, you can gradually add other complementary foods to the baby, such as vegetable puree, fruit puree, soft noodles, etc. These foods are rich in vitamins and fiber, which help reduce the baby's symptoms of getting angry caused by drinking milk powder.

Complementary food porridge: You can 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.
