11 months old baby milk powder

Baby's milk powder is formulated with different nutrients. If the wrong nutrition is chosen at this stage, it may cause the baby's body to not develop normally or may cause developmental delay. The substances in various formula milk powders are different, which can meet the needs of the fetus at different stages. Only after milk powder can complementary foods and some easier-to-digest foods be given to the baby. So, how should an 11-month-old baby choose milk powder?

Babies at different stages of growth have different nutritional needs, and the nutrition they need is also different at different stages. Infant formula is divided into different categories according to the baby's age. Common segments include segment 1 (0-6 months), segment 2 (6-12 months) and segment 3 (1-3 years old).

However, this segmentation is not absolute. For example, the common segmentation of Japanese milk powder is stage 1 (0-9 months) and stage 2 (9-24 months). Therefore, mothers should not mechanically memorize the common classification of milk powder like a formula, but should clearly understand the specific age classification when purchasing.

Generally speaking, babies aged 11 months should eat stage 2 milk powder.

Misconception 1: Buy without checking the segment number

Some mothers do not know to distinguish the stages when buying milk powder for their babies. You should know that the formula milk that babies drink needs to be divided into different stages according to different age stages. Generally, baby milk powder is divided into three stages. Stage 1 milk powder is for babies aged 0-6 months, stage 2 milk powder is for babies aged 6-12 months, and stage 3 milk powder is for babies aged 12-36 months. However, not all brands of milk powder are like this. Therefore, new mothers must ask clearly before buying milk powder for their babies, and do not buy it without distinguishing the stages.

Many parents will choose foreign brands of milk powder first when buying milk powder for their babies. Are foreign brands of milk powder really more nutritious and better for the baby's growth? In fact, purely from the nutritional point of view, foreign milk powder is not more nutritious than domestic milk powder. Whether baby milk powder is produced domestically or abroad, as long as the nutritional indicators meet the standards and the brand is trustworthy, parents can buy it with confidence. There are also many reliable milk powder brands in China. The most important thing is to buy according to the baby's own needs. As long as the baby does not have adverse reactions such as getting angry, diarrhea, constipation, etc. after drinking it, and digestion and absorption are good, it can be purchased.

Myth 3: Thinking that cheap milk powder is bad

Too many parents blindly choose foreign brands when buying milk powder. There is another very critical reason, that is, foreign milk powder is more expensive. They think that expensive imported milk powder is good, and cheap milk powder must be bad. Is this really the case? In fact, the price and quality of baby milk powder cannot be equated. Some milk powder manufacturers will take advantage of this mentality of consumers to deliberately raise the price of milk powder, but the actual cost of milk powder is similar. When parents buy baby formula, they should not be too greedy and choose high-priced formula. They should make a comprehensive choice based on various aspects such as brand, reputation, taste, and nutritional ingredients.
