What are the milk powder problems that mom cares about? After the baby is born, you can't eat complementary food, you can only rely on breast milk or milk powder. There are many brands of milk powder on the market, but there are many problems with milk powder. Milk powder can be inseparable from the baby's growth, so mothers are very concerned about the problems with milk powder. Let's take you to see the milk powder problem that mom cares about.
Mother's concern about milk powder 1 1, is imported milk powder better than domestic milk powder? Is there a difference in nutrients?
The difference between imported milk powder and domestic milk powder is not very big. Different brands of milk powder have different nutritional ingredients, but most of them take breast milk ingredients as the standard, and the formula milk closer to breast milk ingredients is better. There are the following methods to identify high-quality milk powder:
Ingredients: In addition to the breast-fed formula and balanced nutrition, it is necessary to make functional choices according to the baby's needs. If the baby's constitution is weak, it is necessary to choose a formula rich in breast-milk active immune substances.
Brand credit: It has a long-term sales history at home and abroad, and the research and development, production, sales and manufacturing are all in the same company, which can ensure the product quality.
Balanced nutrition: pay attention to the proportion of nutrients and don't pursue content.
Others: reasonable price, professional service, consultation, etc.
2. When is it better for the baby to change to another brand of milk powder?
If the baby has accepted a certain brand of infant formula, there is no need to change the milk powder, and you can choose a larger infant formula after 6 months. The principle of changing milk powder is from small to large, slowly add a small amount of new brand milk powder to the original milk powder, and pay attention to observe the baby's digestion, and then add it gradually after there is no abnormality.
3. What should the baby do if he drinks hot milk powder and has diarrhea?
"Hot air" and "diarrhea" may also be caused by pathological changes, such as the invasion of bacteria and viruses. Therefore, it is best to make a diagnosis when the baby has the above symptoms, and don't subjectively think that it is a problem with milk powder.
4. The milk powder is too strong, is it good for the baby?
The milk powder should be mixed according to the proportion of the product description, because too thick will increase the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, and it is easier for the baby to have symptoms such as chronic dehydration, dry stool and excessive internal heat.
5. What should I do if my baby is allergic to milk powder?
There are many kinds of allergies, such as lactose intolerance, protein's allergy, etc. Therefore, if a baby has allergic symptoms, he should first find out the reasons. If you are allergic to protein, you can choose soy protein formula.
6. After eating milk powder, the baby often farts. Is it gastrointestinal discomfort?
Farting is a normal physiological phenomenon. Farting is not an abnormal symptom among the symptoms of general gastrointestinal diseases.
7. Besides boiling water, can you use other liquids to make milk powder? Such as porridge water, fruit juice, radish water, etc.
It is best to use only warm boiled water to make milk powder. Because the use of other liquids will change the nature of milk powder to some extent, which will affect the comprehensive absorption of nutrition. For example, some people often like to mix rice soup, rice porridge or cake dry powder into milk for babies to eat, thinking that this can provide more nutrients to children. In fact, this way of eating is very unscientific.
Some people abroad have done experiments to mix milk and rice soup at various temperatures. As a result, the loss of vitamin A is amazing, which further proves that vitamin A is not suitable for mixing with starch. Insufficient long-term intake of vitamin A by infants and young children will lead to stunted growth and weak health. Therefore, feeding babies should separate milk and powdered milk from rice soup, rice porridge or cake dry powder.
8. Can I mix several kinds of milk powder to eat together?
It is best to choose a brand of formula milk powder for feeding, so as to avoid the discomfort of the baby's gastrointestinal tract due to inadaptability, which will affect the baby's healthy development.
9. What should I do if my baby is constipated after changing milk powder?
There are many reasons for baby constipation, such as slow gastrointestinal peristalsis or diseases, reduced water intake, especially dry weather, etc. Constipation caused by changing milk powder may be the performance of baby's gastrointestinal adaptation process, so you don't need to be too nervous. You can increase the feeding amount of water and do more baby massage, especially abdominal massage.
10. If you keep using a brand of milk powder, will your baby be malnourished?
No. Just choose milk powder suitable for children's age.
1 1, which is better, cow milk powder or goat milk powder?
At present, infant formula goat milk powder is rarely sold in the market, so it is suggested that infant formula cow milk powder is better.
12. Can the milk powder be given to the baby after it is wet or unsealed for one month?
Most infant formula milk powder packages indicate that the milk powder will be used up within 1 month after opening. If it is more than one month after opening, it should be discarded. It is worth reminding that the shelf life date on the milk powder package refers to the date before unopened and under suitable storage conditions. Once opened, this date cannot be used.
13, there are lumps in the milk powder, which is so hard that it can't be moved with a spoon. What's the matter? Can I continue to eat?
Normal milk powder should be loose and soft. The unsealed milk powder may be affected by moisture in the air, or inevitably bring in a small amount of water droplets during the preparation of milk powder, which makes the milk powder moist and hygroscopic and prone to caking. The quality of this milk powder doesn't change much if it is crushed when it is pinched. However, if it is large, hard and unbreakable, it means that the quality of milk powder is not good and should be discarded.
14, I heard that eating some milk powder will make the baby smarter, right?
The cleverness of the baby depends on many factors, such as the nutritional status of the expectant mother during pregnancy, the implementation of prenatal education, the feeding status after birth, and the evaluation of the baby's early neurological development. Raising a smart baby is a "comprehensive project", so it is not possible to eat milk powder alone.
Mother's concern about milk powder 2 1, can milk powder be stored in the refrigerator?
Please don't!
There is nothing wrong with keeping food in the refrigerator. However, milk powder in the refrigerator is easy to get damp and deteriorate, which breeds bacteria.
The correct posture should be sealed after opening and stored away from light and heat to prevent the loss of nutrients that are not resistant to high temperature and easy to oxidize in milk powder.
2. Why can't the milk powder flush?
It may be that the milk powder is not fresh due to moisture caking, or it may be that the temperature and the way you brew it are wrong.
How many degrees of water is used for entanglement? You can't go wrong by following the instructions on the milk powder can.
Milk powder or water first? Of course, it is "water first, then powder"! After brewing, turn the bottle horizontally back and forth, and it will dissolve well.
In addition, the production process of milk powder may also affect the dissolution of milk powder.
3. Is it the quality problem of milk powder that the child drinks milk powder diarrhea?
There are many causes of diarrhea, which need to be carefully ruled out by mother.
For example, if a child has an infectious disease, he will have diarrhea whether he drinks milk or not; It may also be that children are lactose intolerant.
If the milk powder is left for too long, it will spoil, and children will have diarrhea after eating it. So try to finish eating it within 1 month after opening.
4. Why did the child drink milk powder for constipation?
Maybe the milk powder is too strong.
Some mothers think that the stronger the milk powder, the better the nutrition, and they are eager to put twice the amount of milk powder for their baby to eat enough. But doing so can easily lead to indigestion and difficulty in defecation.
There are also some babies who are prone to constipation due to factors such as heredity and intestinal environment. Some oils contained in milk powder and calcium soap produced by combining with calcium will also increase the possibility of constipation.
If the oil contains enough OPO structural fat, it can reduce the generation of calcium soap, thus softening the baby's stool and reducing the risk of constipation.
5. What is the hole in the milk powder spoon?
This is to prevent mother from scooping air into the spoon when scooping milk powder, thus preventing milk powder from sticking to the spoon.
In addition, the milk powder can is designed to tear off a part of the iron sheet, in order to scrape the milk powder to accurately obtain the amount of a flat spoon and prevent the unreasonable mixing ratio.
6. Is milk powder yellow or white?
As long as the color is uniform, it's all right.
What kind of cows are and what kind of feed they eat may affect the color of milk powder. There is no saying that "the better milk powder is in Huang Yue".
According to the national standard, the normal milk powder color is uniform milky yellow or milky white. If the color is uneven and yellow and white, it may be the quality problem of milk powder or it is not fresh.
7. The more fragrant the milk powder, the better?
No.
The smell of normal milk powder is faint frankincense. If it smells particularly good, mom should worry instead. You can see if there are essence components such as vanillin, ethyl vanillin and vanilla bean extract in the ingredient list.
0 ~ 6 months of formula milk powder is clearly not allowed to add flavor. Although it can be added for more than 6 months, it is not good to eat too much, which is easy to cultivate children's heavy-taste eating habits.
8. What is the milk powder segmentation?
Babies at different stages need different nutrients, and the proportion of nutrients in milk powder is different.
Usually, with the increase of the number of segments, the protein content in milk powder will increase and the fat content will decrease.
If the baby over 6 months is still drinking 1 milk powder, there may be problems such as excessive fat intake and unbalanced nutrition.
Therefore, if you give your baby the corresponding number of milk powder, don't think that 1 is good, but more suitable is better.
