1. Choose the appropriate brand and model of milk powder
The gastrointestinal function of newborns has not yet fully developed, so they need to choose milk powder suitable for their age and physical condition. The milk powder brand and model can be selected based on the child\’s age, weight, height, health and other factors. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the nutritional content of milk powder meets the standards to avoid unnecessary health problems for children.
2. Prepare bottles and accessories
Before changing milk powder to a newborn, you need to prepare clean bottles and accessories, such as pacifiers, sealing caps, etc. These accessories need to be sterilized to ensure that children drink clean and hygienic milk powder.
3. Correctly measure milk powder and water
When preparing milk powder, you need to measure milk powder and water according to the proportions in the instructions. Normally, add 1 scoop (about 5 grams) of milk powder per 50 ml of water. If you use different brands or models of milk powder, you should measure according to the proportions in the instructions.
4. Good temperature
Newborns are more sensitive to temperature. Drinking milk powder that is too hot or too cold will irritate their gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, after preparing the milk powder, it needs to be heated to a suitable temperature with warm water, usually around 37°C. You can use your hands or a thermometer to test the temperature of the milk powder.
5. Pay attention to posture when feeding
When feeding a newborn, you need to pay attention to the child\’s posture. Under normal circumstances, children should be allowed to lie flat or half-sitting to drink milk to avoid problems such as choking on milk or inhaling air. At the same time, you also need to maintain good eye contact and communication with your child.
6. Clean bottles and accessories in time
After feeding, the bottle and accessories need to be cleaned and disinfected in time. This can avoid problems such as bacterial growth and cross-infection and protect your child\’s health.
Summary:
When replacing milk powder for newborns, you need to pay attention to many aspects, including choosing the right brand and model, preparing clean and hygienic bottles and accessories, correctly measuring milk powder and water, maintaining a good temperature, paying attention to the posture during feeding, and timely cleaning and disinfection, etc. . Only by doing these things can we ensure the health and growth of our children.
