The correct method of soaking milk powder should be to first release the water, then put the milk powder, and then shake it.
Not only this, in real life, some misunderstandings of milk powder, many parents are stepping on it.
For example, if the baby is not enough nutrition, add one more scoop when foaming milk. Last year, there was a news event. The milk powder concentration was too high, causing the half-month-old girl to have black necrosis in the small intestine. I thought it was really scary.
Soaking milk powder is really not that simple. It takes so much money and energy to buy high-quality milk powder, but don't get half the work because of improper operation!
Fear that your baby is not nutritious enough to make it thicker?
One more spoonful and one less spoon will not work!
Soaked milk powder must be strictly in accordance with the proportion of the instructions! It is dangerous to have one spoonful and one spoon less, especially the smaller the baby, the more dangerous it is.
Milk powder is too thick, can not digest so much protein, fat, etc., to increase the burden on the stomach, causing constipation, indigestion, and even intestinal necrosis in the news. On the other hand, it also consumes too much minerals and hurts the kidneys.
Of course, the milk powder is too thin to brew. Before the age of 1 year, milk is the staple food of the baby. Milk is too thin to be malnourished. For newborns, it is easy to take too much water, and the kidneys cannot be discharged in time, causing water poisoning.
On the basis of the number of spoons of milk powder, there are two points to note:
1. You should first add water and then pour milk powder. When the milk is reversed, the milk will also thicken, and the milk powder will easily form a mass and will not dissolve sufficiently.
2. Remember to scrape each scoop after digging. A flat spoon is a real spoon. If you do not scrape out the extra milk powder, it will also cause too much brewing concentration.
Do not exceed 50 °C in water?
The safest is 70 ° C
Everyone knows that it is not advisable to use the newly brewed blistering milk powder, which will destroy the nutrients such as vitamin B, vitamin C and DHA in the milk powder, and the hot water will easily cause the milk powder to agglomerate and be unevenly adjusted.
How much is the most appropriate? The recommendations of the WHO WHO and the FAO FAO are to guarantee water temperatures above 70 ° C. From a nutritional point of view, the 70 ° C water temperature will have some damage to the heat sensitive nutrients in the milk powder, but the impact is very small.
This temperature is mainly to avoid the risk of contamination by pathogenic bacteria such as Enterobacter sakazakii. The infection is life-threatening, and the risk of infection in newborns (especially within 2 months) and premature infants is highest.
At this time, you will definitely say that a lot of milk powder packaging is written on 40 ° C, or 50 ° C, 60 ° C! why? In general, as long as you buy a baby formula that has been tested and qualified by the state, it should be free of Enterobacter sakazakii; so in theory, it is OK to use a lower water temperature and the nutrition can be maximized. Degree of retention.
Simply put, if your mother wants to be as safe as possible, then always use a water temperature of 70 °C.
If you want to keep more nutrients as much as possible, then in the case of breastfeeding, newborns and premature infants should use 70 °C water to brew milk powder; for children over 2 months, use a little lower temperature. Forty or fifty degrees of water brewed milk powder.
Regardless of the temperature, give your baby a temperature before breastfeeding.
As shown above, a small amount of milk is dripped onto the inside of the wrist. The feeling is warm, not hot, it can give the baby to drink; if you feel hot, it continues to cool down for a while and then feeding. (You can rinse the bottle under the tap or put it in a cold water container.)
In fact, babies are more likely to be infected with germs from the environment and utensils. Parents should pay more attention to the cleaning and disinfection of nipples, bottles and other supplies.
Tips:
For babies under 3 months, we recommend that the bottles be cleaned each time they are used up, and then disinfected (the most practical method is to immerse the bottles in boiling water for about 10 minutes);
3-6 months, the bottle is best disinfected once a day; 6 months or more of the baby, in general, the milk stains can be thoroughly cleaned, the bottle is dry and sealed storage, it is not too entangled sterilization.
Shake the bottle more fully dissolved?
Be flattering!
In order to make the milk powder dissolve quickly and quickly, some parents like to vigorously shake the bottle up and down, especially the dad. This is not very reliable. The protein in the milk powder is easy to foam. When you shake it a little, there will be a lot of bubbles. If you drink it, it will let him inhale too much air. What spit milk and flatulence will come.
In addition to vigorously shaking, do not use chopsticks, spoons and other tools to reach into the bottle to stir the milk, these tools themselves may not be clean, and an extra "external process" to increase the risk of milk contamination.
The correct posture should be to hold the upper part of the bottle with both palms and gently roll the bottle back and forth until the milk powder is fully dissolved. If you accidentally make a lot of bubbles, let it rest for a while, then the bubbles will disappear and drink.
Finally, let's emphasize again, we have said it many times, the water that is most suitable for the baby to wash the milk powder is the most easy to get boiled water.
For babies under two years old, don't use mineral water. Oh, milk powder is a good proportion of various nutrients. The use of mineral water will destroy the mineral proportion of milk powder and even increase the metabolic burden of the baby. What kind of juice, rice soup is not suitable for soaking milk powder.
