Introduction to newborn milk powder feeding rules
The nutritional needs of newborns are very high, and if the mother cannot provide enough breast milk, her nutritional needs need to be met through milk powder. However, reasonable feeding methods are crucial. The following will introduce you to reasonable newborn milk powder feeding rules to help you feed your baby correctly.
Choose the right milk powder
First of all, it is very important to choose the right milk powder. Newborns need different nutrients than adults, so they need to buy milk powder specifically for babies. At the same time, you need to choose the appropriate milk powder according to the baby\’s age, weight and other physical conditions. In addition, it is also important to understand the ingredients, nutritional content, manufacturer and other information of milk powder.
Feeding frequency
Newborns have small stomach volumes and weak digestive functions, so they need to be fed frequently, 8-12 times a day. Under normal circumstances, the amount of each feeding should be controlled at about 60-90ml, and the feeding time should not be too long to avoid problems such as flatulence caused by the baby swallowing too much air. In addition, feeding on time is also required at night to ensure the baby\’s nutritional supply at night.
Precautions before and after feeding
Before feeding, you need to clean your baby\’s hands, prepare bottles, pacifiers and other tools, and disinfect them to ensure cleanliness. During the feeding process, you should always observe the baby\’s condition to avoid choking, suffocation, etc. After feeding, bottles, pacifiers and other tools need to be washed and disinfected with warm water to ensure they are clean and hygienic before next use.
Methods of supplementary feeding
Newborn milk powder feeding generally requires supplementary feeding, and one of the common methods is burping. During and after feedings, your baby needs to be helped to expel swallowed air. At the same time, when your baby has uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, you can massage or use medicine to relieve it.
Summary
Reasonable newborn milk powder feeding rules require attention to the selection of milk powder, feeding frequency, precautions before and after feeding, and auxiliary feeding methods, which can ensure that the baby receives adequate nutrition and grows healthily. Therefore, you must be careful and responsible when choosing and feeding milk powder for your baby to avoid problems.
