After adding complimentary food, some babies suddenly do not like to drink milk, breast milk does not drink, milk powder does not drink, when the mother is really worried that the child is not enough nutrition!
In fact, in addition to drinking milk directly, there are many other clever ways to secretly supplement the nutrition in the milk.
Within 1 year old, milk is still the staple food of your baby. You must ensure that you drink more than 600ml a day. However, it is normal for the baby to eat more and eat less or to look at the mood and see the state.
If your child is in good health, don't worry too much. It is definitely not right to force milk.
However, if the baby does not drink milk for a long time, or even develops slowly, parents should pay attention to it.
See a doctor in time to rule out whether certain diseases are caused (such as milk protein allergy, various acute and chronic diseases, indigestion, esophagitis, metabolic diseases, etc.).
If growth and development are not affected, the child's mental condition is very good. You can find out whether it is caused by some feeding methods and behavioral development. Take some improvement measures at home, such as:
● Reasonably arrange the amount of food supplement, give milk first when you are hungry
The baby's appetite is so small, the food supplement is too much, and the milk can't drink.
If you drink too little milk, you can first reduce the amount of food supplements, and give them milk when you are hungry. For example, when you are hungry in the morning, let your baby drink milk first.
● Provide a quiet, undisturbed environment when feeding
Whether it's drinking milk or eating complementary foods, this is the same, to provide a relatively quiet atmosphere, let the baby focus on breastfeeding. Do not have interference such as toys, picture books, and television. Otherwise, the baby eats a bite and is attracted by other fun.
● More exercise, thirsty to drink with milk as water
Do more with the baby to do sports, turn over, crawl, play with toys. This consumes the baby's physical strength, sweating more, after being hungry, and then handing over the milk, the baby must drink very happy.
● Appropriate amount of dairy products to help
Baby does not like to drink breast milk or formula, you can find dairy products such as yogurt and cheese to help, but it should be noted that you can not use yogurt or cheese instead of breast milk or formula within 1 year old, only as a milk amount Small supplements.
You can also make milk or dairy products in the complimentary food.
You might say that if you put milk into a complementary food, isn't it all gone through high-temperature nutrition? Really not, the most important calcium and protein are still there, vitamins are indeed some loss.
But compared with not drinking milk, what is the loss?
✦ Tips:
Baby can try yogurt after 6 months, and try cheese after 8 months. But when you eat for the first time, you must try a small amount, and observe 3-5 days to see if there is any adverse reaction. If you don't have one, you can rest assured that you can eat it next time.
As the baby grows up and eats more and more food supplements, the amount of milk will gradually decrease. After 1 year of age, the amount of milk may drop to 400-600ml. At this time, the milk has retired to the second line and is no longer the protagonist in the baby's daily diet.
Although not the protagonist, milk still has to drink!
Be aware that milk is the best source of calcium. About 100 mg of calcium per 100 ml of milk. A 1-year-old baby needs 600 mg of calcium a day, so as long as you drink 300 ml of milk, you can easily meet half of your calcium needs.
So after 1 year of drinking milk, the main purpose is to get a lot of calcium. What if the baby doesn't like to drink milk? Will it be deficient in calcium?
Don't worry, this is a trick.
The calcium in yogurt is equal to or even higher than pure milk. It is just that many yogurts sold in the market add too much sugar, jam, etc. It is best to give the baby the original pure yogurt (ingredients: raw milk + bacteria), if Feel too acidic to add some fruit to taste.
Cheese is the essence of milk concentration. The calcium content is generally seven or eight times that of milk. As long as it is small, it is full of calcium.
However, Mom has said it many times. When buying cheese, you must pay attention to low sodium, low sodium, and low sodium. Look at the nutrient composition table of cheese. If the sodium content is higher than calcium, then don't buy this.
