90% of new parents make the same mistake. It turns out that it is so difficult to prepare food for the baby.

Many novice parents who have just upgraded have many misunderstandings about feeding because they do not understand the newborn\’s body. Regardless of breastfeeding or not, the baby will need to drink milk powder in the future, and how to prepare milk powder correctly and scientifically is extremely important. Preparing milk powder for babies may seem simple, but it actually hides a lot of knowledge. Is this how you prepare milk powder? This action is wrong! Mistake 1: Shake it up and down vigorously or stir with a spoon. Error rate: 90% of formula milk will produce a lot of bubbles during the process of vigorous shaking up and down. Milk powder with many bubbles will cause the baby to drink too much air, and the baby will be easily bloated after drinking. , hiccupping constantly. The correct method is: rely on the strength of the wrist, hold the middle and upper part of the bottle, and shake the bottom of the bottle in the same direction to rotate it on a horizontal plane. Massage the abdomen to help the baby expel bloating after feeding. Parents can massage the baby\’s abdomen more often. When massaging, take the baby\’s belly button as the center and massage clockwise along the periphery of the belly button with the palm of your hand. This will help the baby Improve gastrointestinal motility and gas discharge to improve digestion and absorption. Of course, if your baby is particularly uncomfortable with bloating, he needs to seek medical attention. Mistake 2: Not brewing according to the standard ratio, too thick or too thin. Error rate: 70%. The ingredients of each formula are different. Parents must read the instructions carefully before brewing milk powder for their babies, and cannot rely on experience. Brew milk powder. Especially for novice parents, it is unscientific for milk powder to be too thick or too thin. Milk powder that is too thick will have excess nutrients and cannot be tolerated by the baby\’s gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to digestion and may lead to constipation. If the milk powder is too thin, the baby will not be able to eat enough and cannot supplement the nutrients required by the body. If things go on like this, the baby will develop slowly and be underweight. The correct method is: when parents prepare milk powder for their babies, they must strictly follow the proportions indicated on the packaging and cannot put as much as they want. In addition, the number of scoops written on the packaging refers to flat scoops of milk powder. When making milk powder, do you add milk powder or water first? If you add milk powder first and then water, the actual amount of water will be less than the amount of water in the milk powder preparation instructions, which cannot guarantee the accuracy of the preparation concentration. Furthermore, milk powder is also easier to clump and dissolve unevenly, which is not conducive to digestion. The correct mixing sequence should be to follow the mixing ratio marked on the milk powder can, first add warm water to the bottle, and then add an appropriate amount of milk powder to the bottle. Mistake 3: Use pure water or mineral water to brew milk powder. Error rate: 90% of new parents want the best for their babies. Of course, mineral water should be used to brew milk powder, but good is not necessarily right. The baby’s body is not It requires too many minerals, and the minerals accumulated in the baby\’s body are not conducive to digestion and can easily cause gastrointestinal disorders in the baby. In addition, do not use freshly boiled water to prepare milk powder. Boiling water will easily destroy the vitamins and whey protein in the milk powder. The correct method is: the most suitable water for making formula milk powder is fresh tap water that has just been boiled and should be cooled to about 40℃-50℃. Note: Do not use water in a thermos bottle (pot) that has been left for a long time (more than 12 to 24 hours) to prepare milk powder, because it is easily contaminated by bacteria and the conversion of nitrate to nitrite increases. Mistake 4: Reheating unfinished milk powder multiple times. Error rate: 80%. Some babies have small appetites and their parents cannot eat the milk powder they prepare each time.After finishing the meal, I thought about heating up the leftover food and feeding it to the baby. However, the nutritional value of reheated milk powder is not high, and the protein and vitamins in the milk powder have changed. The correct method is: parents should control the baby\’s food intake at each meal, do not brew too much at one time, and give the baby fresh milk powder. Is the amount of water used to prepare milk powder equal to the amount of milk the baby drinks? Calculating your baby\’s milk volume should be the total amount of milk powder and water after preparation. For example, 60ml of water is needed to prepare 1 scoop of milk powder. If 3 scoops of milk powder are added to 180ml of water, 200ml of milk will be prepared. At this time, the calculated milk volume will be 200ml instead of 180ml. If parents always use the amount of water instead of the amount of milk, the calculation will be wrong.
