Nowadays, there are various kinds of milk powder in the market, such as soy milk, cow’s milk and goat’s milk, etc. How to choose? The actual fact is that nowadays, milk substitutes are formula milk based on milk, goat milk and soy protein with various vitamins, minerals and DHA, probiotics and so on, almost the same as breast milk nutrition, so for children within 3 years old, we recommend choosing imitation breast milk formula, as long as it is a regular manufacturer. There is no big difference in the milk powder that meets the age of the child. Nowadays, our national standards for milk and milk powder are set by the state, so the main thing is to choose according to the child’s situation and pay attention to the method of brewing and sterilization of milk powder. Of course, the safest and most nutritious is still breastfeeding. Mixed feeding Complementary feeding method: first feed the mother’s milk, if the baby is not full, followed by a certain amount of complementary feeding formula, characterized by the baby sucking breast milk first, so that the mother’s breast is stimulated on time to keep the secretion of milk. Substitute teaching method: 1 time feeding breast milk 1 time feeding breast milk substitute, rotate feeding once at an interval of 4 hours, so that the mother can get proper rest and can secrete milk of good quality. Daily nursing truth and precautions Overflow baby’s stomach is horizontal and has a small capacity, such as eating air when breastfeeding or the tension of the baby’s esophageal muscles is low, which can easily cause dilation, while peristalsis is slower, so food is easily sloughed off. The cardia is loose and does not close tightly, while the pylorus closes tightly, and when there is a little more food in the stomach, the food is refluxed from the pylorus to the cardia, which causes the milk to ripple. When feeding, don’t leave a gap, when feeding with a bottle, let the milk completely fill the nipple, after feeding, it is best to let the child lie on the adult’s shoulder and pat the child’s back with your hand, so that the air inhaled into the stomach runs out. If you shake too much, you will easily spill or spit up milk. The amount of milk that comes out of the breast is usually small and will not have much effect on the child’s growth and development. As the child grows older, it will naturally get better. Correction of bad habits and wrong methods: Let the child’s mouth wrap around the whole nipple, feed milk that is not too hot or too cold, and do not feed air, and after feeding, pick up and put down the child gently and with less movement. After feeding, put a small towel under the jaw and pat the baby’s back with your empty hand from the bottom of the stomach upward until burping, then let the baby lie on his right side. Your baby is still too young to add complementary foods! Your baby is too young to add complementary foods such as rice soup, vegetable water, fruit water, etc., except for breast milk, milk and 10% glucose water or plain water between feedings. Parenting truth: Some people add rice soup and other foods when the child eats less breast milk, this is not right, 4 months old babies can digest milk protein, fructose, glucose, etc., is no amylase and other digestive enzymes secretion, they can not digest grain, vegetable food, so you can not add rice soup, vegetable water. And babies love to eat sweet food most. Correction of bad habits and wrong methods: Newborns can drink 10% glucose sugar water within two weeks of birth, which not only hydrates but also prevents hypoglycemia and helps babies subside from jaundice. Breast Care Breast enlargement during breastfeeding, and some mothers may have sunken nipples, so we need to pay attention to daily care. Before each nursing session, wipe the nipples with warm water. If the nipples are slightly sunken, you can stretch them outward with a hand cross and use a breast pump several times to pull the nipples outward for minor attraction, or choose nipple patches for severe cases. Care of the umbilical cord The umbilical cord falls off around 10 days after birth, but within 3 months, attention should be paid to the disinfection of the umbilical cord. During the month, parents usually have to pull up the cord end of the umbilical cord stump, wipe it with 75% alcohol, a cotton swab can only be used once, and then dry it with a dry cotton swab.
