Choose milk powder and water
The first step is to choose the right milk powder and water. When choosing milk powder, it depends on your baby\’s age and health. Different brands of milk powder have different ingredients and nutrients, so choose a brand that is suitable for your baby. Water is also very important. It is best to use mineral water or purified water and avoid using tap water.
In addition, the brewing amount of milk powder should be accurately calculated according to the proportions in the instructions, and should not be overly diluted or concentrated. Over-dilution can lead to nutritional deficiencies, while over-concentration can overburden the digestive system and even cause diarrhea.
Prepare bottles and nipples
Preparing clean bottles and nipples is also an important step. To clean and disinfect with warm water and soap respectively, pour water into the bottle and shake, and at the same time put the nipple in hot water and boil it for 5 minutes.
The materials of the bottle and nipple should also be chosen carefully. Choose materials that are harmless, easy to clean, odorless and will not deform. The choice between materials depends on personal preference and the suitability of the pacifier.
Brewed milk powder
Pour the prepared water into a clean milk bottle, and then pour the milk powder according to the proportion on the milk powder instructions. Note that before adding milk powder, the water temperature must be controlled between 40-50 degrees, otherwise the milk powder cannot be dispersed.
After adding the milk powder, cap the bottle tightly and shake until the milk powder is completely dissolved. When choosing bottle caps, it is best to choose leak-proof bottle caps to prevent milk powder from leaking out and causing waste.
Feeding the baby
After brewing the milk powder, pay attention to preparing the baby for feeding. Warm the bottle in hot water and wrap it with a towel to prevent scalding your baby\’s mouth.
When feeding, place the baby in a comfortable position, keep the body stable, and maintain body contact as much as possible to help the baby feel safe. Master the amount and frequency of feeding without over or under feeding.
Finally, pay attention to your baby\’s reaction. After drinking milk, check whether the baby\’s reactions are normal and whether there are any discomfort reactions to milk powder allergies. At the same time, record the time and amount of feeding to facilitate the next feeding.
Summary: Suitable milk powder and water, clean bottles and nipples, accurate brewing volume and appropriate temperature, as well as appropriate feeding methods and times are all important factors for making your baby drink more nutritiously and healthily. Of course, different babies have different situations, and parents need to adjust the feeding plan based on their own experience and baby\’s characteristics to achieve better care.
