Milk powder ingredients must comply with regulations: There are strict regulations on the formula of newborn infant milk powder, including the proportions of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and other ingredients. Therefore, when choosing milk powder, be sure to read the labels on the packaging to ensure compliance.
2. Choose milk powder suitable for your age group: Babies at different stages require different formulas of milk powder. Newborn babies need to drink milk powder for the age group of 0-6 months. There is no need to add any supplementary nutrients at this stage.
3. Pay attention to the risk of allergies: Some babies may be allergic to certain ingredients, such as lactose allergy, protein allergy, etc. When choosing milk powder, pay attention to the ingredient list to avoid choosing milk powder with allergy risks.

How much milk powder a newborn baby needs to drink every day is a complicated question, because every baby\’s situation is different. Generally speaking, the amount of milk powder a newborn baby needs to drink every day should be between 500-800 ml. However, if your baby has the following conditions, adjustments need to be made based on the specific situation:
1. The baby is underweight or overweight: An underweight baby needs to drink more milk powder to obtain adequate nutrition, while an overweight baby needs to appropriately reduce the amount of milk powder.
2. Baby\’s eating habits: Some babies may be picky eaters and need to appropriately increase or decrease the amount of milk powder to meet their nutritional needs.
3. Baby\’s health condition: Some diseases may affect the baby\’s absorption and utilization of nutrients. The amount of milk powder needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the doctor\’s advice.
Level 4: Precautions for feeding newborn babies
Newborn baby feeding is a very careful and patient process. During the feeding process, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Feeding frequency: Newborn babies need to be fed 5-7 times a day, usually with an interval of 2-3 hours. The feeding frequency and amount of milk powder need to be determined according to the needs of the baby.
2. Feeding posture: The digestion of newborn babies has not yet been fully developed, so it is necessary to choose a suitable feeding posture. Generally speaking, you can choose to let the baby lie down or in a semi-sitting position to drink milk to avoid excessive bending of the baby.
3. Feeding speed: The swallowing reflex of newborn babies has not yet been fully formed, so feeding speed is needed to avoid milk entering the stomach too quickly and causing suffocation.
4. Burp: Newborn babies need to burp in time after drinking milk to avoid discomfort caused by accumulation of gastrointestinal gas.
5. Cleanliness: Wash your hands before feeding, and ensure that bottles, pacifiers and other equipment are clean and disinfected.
6. Pay attention to the baby\’s reaction: Some babies may be allergic to or incompatible with a certain milk powder. You need to pay attention to the baby\’s reaction and adjust the feeding method and type of milk powder in a timely manner.
The above are several aspects that need to be paid attention to when feeding newborn babies. I hope they can be helpful to novice parents.
