My responsible suggestion is: families with conditions can let their children drink formula milk until they are 6 years old, but in this process, they should also let their children adapt to the taste and taste of milk as soon as possible; At the same time, children after 1 year-old should not consume too much milk, otherwise it will also affect healthy growth and development. The following is your detailed analysis:
How should parents treat children drinking milk scientifically? In my life, I have met many children. Some children have never drunk formula milk after they can adapt to pure milk. Some parents no longer pay attention to supplementing milk for their children because they can eat normally like adults; There are also some children who have been letting their babies drink formula milk because their parents are worried that their babies will have diarrhea when drinking milk, or the nutrition of milk is not as good as that of formula milk. As a result, children are not used to the taste and taste of milk when they are older and refuse to continue drinking formula milk or pure milk.
Children can wean formula milk powder after 1 year old, but it is best not to wean for life, even if children can eat like adults. This kind of milk includes not only formula milk powder, but also pure milk at room temperature and fresh milk after strict disinfection.
This is because before 1 year old, children's main nutritional sources are breast milk and infant formula milk powder instead of breast milk; After 1 year-old, children's main source of nutrition has changed into human food, but milk nutrients are still essential for the growth and development of infants, although they no longer occupy a dominant position.
Personal suggestion: when the child is about 1 year old, parents will gradually add milk to the baby according to the method of adding complementary food (to avoid the intolerance of individual babies to milk). If the baby adapts, you can let the baby's milk and formula milk powder drink alternately; If the baby doesn't adapt, try adding milk to the baby's diet after a while.
It should be pointed out that:
After 1 and 1 years old, the daily milk quantity of infants shall not be less than 380ml.
2. You should keep your child's daily milk for life, instead of drinking milk until the child can eat normally.
3, the nutritional supply of formula milk powder is indeed better than pure milk, and families with conditions can let their children drink until they are 6 years old. (Not suitable for drinking infant formula after 6 years old)
4, milk is ready to drink, which is much more convenient than formula milk; And some babies refuse to continue drinking milk powder when they are older. Therefore, even if parents are determined to let their children drink formula until they are 6 years old, they should let their babies adapt to the taste and taste of milk in advance. The younger the child, the easier it is to accept.
Conclusion How old is the best age for children to drink infant formula? There is no conclusion, and parents with conditions can let their children drink until they are 6 years old; Parents who have no conditions or are too troublesome can directly replace infant formula with pure milk after their children 1 year old.
Although pure milk is not as nutritious as formula milk powder, it is enough to meet the nutritional needs of children's growth and development. No matter how old children drink formula milk powder, parents should pay attention to maintaining their children's daily milk intake.
At least from my personal experience, it is absolutely no problem to stop for eight months. Dear Bao Dad or Bao Mom, don't be overly superstitious about formula milk powder. A lot of praise for formula milk powder comes from the promotion of manufacturers. It is also clearly stated in the guidance manual given by foreign governments to newborn parents that children who eat complementary foods can completely replace formula milk powder with fresh milk. This is how my two children were raised. Of course, when I say stop formula, I definitely don't mean weaning children. I believe I explained the details in the video.
I'm glad to answer your question. How old is the best formula for moms? Why? Here are some suggestions that I hope will help you:
In fact, there is no hard and fast standard for babies to drink milk powder. If family conditions permit, children can drink until they are 5 or 6 years old. Most families will choose to let their babies drink milk powder until they are about 3 years old. Because babies after the age of 3 can eat normally. Of course, it is best not to let the baby drink milk powder during this period, but to add some nutritious and easily absorbed foods, such as vegetable juice, fruit puree, porridge, eggs and so on. In fact, after weaning, you can let your baby drink some formula milk powder properly, but you should gradually add complementary food until you can replace milk powder. It should also be noted that fresh milk cannot be used instead of milk powder. In fact, experts believe that it is best not to drink fresh milk for babies under 2 years old. Because the child's kidney system and gastrointestinal function are not well developed at this time, drinking fresh milk directly will bring certain harm to the baby's body.
Benefits of baby drinking formula milk powder:
1. protein ratio is closer to breast milk.
Infant formula adjusted the ratio of whey protein to casein to make it closer to breast milk. Among them, the increase in the proportion of whey protein helps the baby sleep, promotes brain development, improves the bioavailability of protein, and is more easily digested and absorbed by the baby. In recent years, the content of a- whey protein in some formula milk powder has increased, which makes the formula milk powder closer to breast milk. In infant formula, the total protein content is reduced, and the sodium content is also reduced accordingly, thus effectively reducing the burden on the baby's tender kidney.
Step 2 reduce fat content
Infant formula reduces the fat content, and partially or completely replaces saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to the baby's cardiovascular development. The baby's brain and vision are in a period of rapid growth, so it is very important to supplement DHA and AA properly, which belong to polyunsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, adding linoleic acid and linolenic acid to infant formula milk powder can naturally synthesize DHA and AA in the baby, which is helpful to improve the baby's intellectual development index and vision. Some infant formulas also remove palm oil, because palm oil and calcium combine to form calcium soap, which affects the baby's absorption of calcium and makes the stool dry.
Step 3 add a variety of vitamins and minerals
The content of calcium and phosphorus in infant formula is reduced to a reasonable ratio of 2: 1, and vitamin D, vitamin A, iron and zinc are added appropriately.
Infant milk powder feeding should pay attention to:
1. When making milk powder, you must choose boiled water and wait until the water temperature drops. Warm water is best. You don't need mineral water to make milk powder. Tap water is preferred.
2. You can feed the milk powder immediately after it has been washed, because it may deteriorate once it has been washed for more than half an hour, so you should throw it away even if it has not been washed, so as to avoid the deterioration of the milk powder.
3. When the child drinks milk powder, the air will swallow with it, so there will be abdominal distension at first, and the amount of milk powder can be increased after the child adapts.
With the improvement of living standards, people's health awareness is enhanced, and the requirements for nutrition are gradually scientific. At present, dairy products have become our important source of nutrition. Milk and formula milk should be given priority to in infancy, and it can be gradually reduced after 1 year, and kept at 300-500ml every day, and kept at about 300ml every day after 2 years old. Many children get tired of formula milk after 2 years old, so they can use yogurt instead. In short, with the improvement of children's eating ability, the amount of milk can be gradually reduced, but complete "weaning" is not advocated to ensure the high-quality sources of minerals such as protein and calcium for children.
At what age do you drink the best formula?
First of all, I am the nanny of two babies. I have experienced this problem twice myself, and the results of both times are vivid. Dabao gave him formula milk when she was three weeks and one month old. She automatically refused to breastfeed. The second child stopped drinking milk powder for three weeks and three months, stopped for about a month, and drank formula milk for another two months and didn't want it. They are all replaced with fresh milk or yogurt with short shelf life. Because I am full-time, I still focus on food and do it in different ways. Two babies, one is 10 years old and the other is 4 and a half years old, and their physical fitness has always been excellent.
Milk powder is an indispensable food for babies. With the growth of children's age, milk powder becomes a complementary food, while meals become a staple food. What parents need to do is to give their children a variety of diets without worrying about milk or other specific foods.
I hope my answer is helpful to you. thank you
At what age do you drink the best formula?
The answer is as follows
Many countries or regions advocate that you don't have to drink formula milk powder or even three-stage milk powder after 1 year old.
For example, the European Food Safety Agency (efsa) pointed out that "growing" formula (corresponding to domestic three-stage milk powder) could not bring additional nutritional value to the balanced diet of 1-3-year-old infants. Nothing is more effective than other foods in providing nutrition.
The Australian Dietary Guidelines issued by the Australian Ministry of Health also mentioned that formula milk powder can be fed as a substitute for breast milk until 12 months. /kloc-after 0/2 months, healthy babies no longer need special baby milk and complementary food.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that 1 year-old babies can start drinking whole milk or 2% low-fat milk on the basis of a balanced diet. In the menu of "Daily Recipe" (1 year), it is suggested to use whole milk or 2% low-fat milk instead of formula milk for three meals and snacks.
(American Academy of Pediatrics Encyclopedia of Parenting (6th Edition))
However, the recommendation of China Nutrition Society is that 1-2 years old should still be supplemented by infant formula, and milk, yogurt and cheese should be introduced as a small amount of supplementary food.
(Dietary Guide for China Residents (Version 20 16))
How old is the baby to drink milk? Stupid dad thinks it's necessary to analyze specific problems.
1 year-old, you can introduce a small amount of milk and other dairy products to your baby (pasteurized milk/normal temperature milk instead of milk drinks). If the baby can accept the taste of milk, adapt to gastrointestinal digestion and have a balanced diet, then he can drink milk instead of formula milk from 1 year old.
If the baby 1 year-old is not used to the taste of milk, or the digestive function of the stomach is not mature, or the diet structure is not balanced, then you can continue to eat formula milk until you are about 2 years old.
(P.S. Babies with special medical symptoms such as milk protein allergy should eat formula powder for special medical use according to the doctor's advice. )
After 2.3 years old, the organs and functions of healthy babies have matured, and balanced eating habits should also be cultivated. The diet is basically the same as that of adults. Then, there is absolutely no need to drink formula milk powder, four-stage milk powder and just drink milk directly.
I think I'll drink at the age of three at most, and then I'll eat properly.
Personally, I suggest drinking until you are about two years old.
In my opinion, the baby can try to use fresh milk instead of formula milk when he is two years old.
First, let's look at the number of stages of milk powder. The third stage of formula milk is 12 months to 36 months, which means that the proportion of nutrition is fixed after the baby is one year old. In other words, at this time, the baby's intake of various trace elements does not need to be carefully matched, which means that the baby can completely obtain the required trace elements from various complementary foods, and milk powder is only an aid.
Secondly, the reason why I chose to try to break the formula when I was two years old was actually synchronized with breastfeeding.
Mothers who have milk are often weaned at the latest at the age of 2, and the World Health Organization also recommends breastfeeding until the age of 2. That is to say, babies after 2 years old actually don't need original breast milk, so can it also be understood as milk powder that doesn't need to replace breast milk? Babies who have left breast milk often drink formula milk or pure milk to meet their calcium needs, so milk powder babies can also try to replace formula milk with pure milk at this time.
Furthermore, the World Health Organization, China Nutrition Society and other authoritative organizations believe that children must use formula milk or breast milk before the age of one, because their digestive system is not perfect. Formula milk removes the part that is not conducive to digestion, and the nutritional collocation is closer to breast milk. Pure milk will cause a great burden on the baby's digestive system, but after one year old, the baby's digestive ability has gradually improved, so as long as it is accepted, the baby can replace formula milk with pure milk. Then the reason for choosing two years old is very clear, that is, give the baby another year to let the digestive system grow and make them stronger, and then try pure milk.
Finally, for families with heavy financial burden, it is more reasonable to choose two years old to try to cut off formula milk.
Formula milk is broken at the age of two, because the baby's digestive system is strong enough to absorb the needed nutrition from pure milk, which will not be harmful to the baby's healthy growth.
The above is my opinion, I hope it will help you.
