Some parents now give their children fresh milk every day after their children are weaned or can eat. Experts warned: "Children under 2 years old had better not drink fresh milk. Because the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and other systems of infants and young children are still immature, feeding children with fresh milk will cause some harm. "

First, some nutrients in fresh milk are not easily absorbed. For example, the high content of phosphorus in fresh milk will affect the absorption of calcium, while the high content of casein is easy to coagulate into blocks after encountering gastric acid, which is not easy to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.

Secondly, the lactose in fresh milk is mainly α-lactose, which can inhibit Bifidobacterium and promote the generation of Escherichia coli, and easily induce gastrointestinal diseases in infants. At the same time, minerals in fresh milk will increase the burden on the kidneys, causing children to have symptoms such as chronic dehydration, dry stool and excessive internal heat.

Third, the fat in fresh milk is mainly animal saturated fat, which will stimulate the baby's weak intestine, cause chronic recessive blood loss in the intestine and cause anemia and other diseases.

In addition, infants under 1 year-old are absolutely forbidden to drink fresh milk; Children under 2 years old are also best not to drink. After breastfeeding, you should choose a formula that is more similar to breast milk. Because the formula milk powder has adjusted the protein and fat structure, the ratio of calcium to phosphorus, and added some essential ingredients for the growth and development of infants, such as vitamins, trace elements, nucleotides and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which overcomes the shortcomings of fresh milk and is more conducive to the healthy growth of children.
