1. Reasons for infants to switch to milk powder
1.1 The ingredients of milk powder are not suitable for aging
1.2 The taste of milk powder is not suitable for young children
1.3 Insufficient or excess nutrition in milk powder
Early childhood is the period when the human body grows and develops fastest, and it is also the period when the human body has the highest nutritional needs. Therefore, the dietary health of young children has attracted much attention from parents. Among them, milk powder, as one of the common complementary foods, plays an important role in young children\’s diet. However, as babies grow older, parents need to consider whether they need to replace milk powder.
First of all, the ingredients of milk powder are not static. For babies of different ages, the nutrients contained in milk powder are also different. , during the 0-6 month period, babies mainly need to take in nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates; and after 6 months, they need more vitamins, minerals and other elements to support physical development and immune health. Therefore, as the child grows older, if the milk powder of the past is still used, it may lead to insufficient or excess nutrients, affecting the baby\’s health.
Secondly, the taste of milk powder also needs to be considered. In early childhood, babies\’ sense of taste, smell and other sensory organs are still developing, and they also have higher requirements for the taste of food. If the taste of the milk powder used is not suitable for the taste of young children, it may cause problems such as loss of appetite and picky eating.
Finally, parents also need to pay attention to whether milk powder has excessive nutrients. In order to make their children grow healthier, some parents may add excessive amounts of nutrients when feeding them. However, in the case of excess nutrients, it not only fails to promote the healthy growth of children, but may also cause a burden on the body.
Therefore, as children grow older, parents need to choose appropriate milk powder based on their children\’s actual conditions and replace them when necessary.
2. How to replace milk powder correctly
2.1 Stepwise replacement method
2.2 Choose milk powder of the same brand and series
2.3 Observe children’s reactions
Correct replacement of milk powder is an important part of ensuring a healthy diet for children. When replacing milk powder, parents need to pay attention to the following points:
First, use the stepwise replacement method. That is, when replacing milk powder, do not completely replace the old milk powder with new milk powder at once, but gradually increase the proportion of new milk powder. , in the first two days, the old milk powder and the new milk powder can be mixed and fed in a ratio of 1:1; then the ratio is adjusted to 2:1, and finally the new milk powder is used completely.
Secondly, choose milk powder from the same brand and series. Different brands of milk powder have different ingredients, taste, nutrients, etc. If you use different brands of milk powder directly when changing, it may have an impact on the baby\’s body. Therefore, when replacing, you should try to choose milk powder of the same brand and series.
Finally, observe the child’s reaction. After replacing milk powder, parents need to closely observe whether their children have diarrhea, constipation, skin allergies, etc.questions and make adjustments as appropriate.
By correctly replacing milk powder and paying attention to issues such as a balanced diet and nutritional intake for young children, you can help your children grow healthily.
