How to prepare formula milk powder

  Sitting in the child health clinic every day and listening to mothers’ parenting concerns, it’s really not easy for mothers today! Formula is very popular in the modern world, how do you brew it? Each can and bag of formula has instructions on the outside of the package, clearly shown in words and diagrams. In the doctor’s imagination it should be among the easiest and least problematic things to do, right? Who knows the careful mother still has so many details of the problem.  For example, if you are afraid of your baby’s fire, can you use vegetable water to brew milk powder? Some people use rice soup to prepare milk powder. Some add calcium powder to the milk powder. Some mothers ask more detailed questions, is it possible to brew milk powder with tap water after boiling, or with pure water after boiling and cooling to a certain temperature? Nowadays, many people have buckets of pure or distilled water or mineral water at home. The actual fact is that you can use these water after boiling to a certain temperature or mix hot and cold water to brew?  In order to solve these doubts in the minds of mothers, first to introduce mothers to the characteristics of formula milk powder. The formula milk powder is fresh milk through the use of a variety of modulation methods to change the cow’s milk composition, so that it is as close to the quality of breast milk, also known as breast milk powder.  In the advanced food preparation methods, take to change the nutrient structure, such as reducing casein, adding whey protein to make it close to the protein composition of breast milk, easier to digest and absorb; adding lactose, various vitamins and minerals, etc., to make it similar to breast milk; in recent years, with scientists more in-depth study of breast milk composition, food processing technology to further improve, adding more closely related to the health of the baby Such as DHA, AA, taurine, prebiotics and so on.  These added nutrients have certain temperature requirements unique to the process of preservation and brewing, otherwise the biological activity of these nutrients will be greatly reduced or disappear. At the same time, taking into account the immature kidney function of small babies, remove some excessive protein and mineral content to reduce the burden on the baby’s delicate kidneys.  In conclusion, modern advanced food processing technology has been able to optimize and add nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals in cow’s milk, thus making the formula closer to breast milk composition.  Knowing the characteristics of formula milk powder, the corresponding requirements on how to make formula milk is basically a spectrum. First of all, the formula has been scientifically formulated, a balance of nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of the baby, therefore, in the preparation of formula milk powder, you only need to add water, and do not need and should not add other ingredients to break the nutritional composition of the original balance, or even destroy the nutrients in the formula, affecting the child’s digestion and absorption of nutrients.  For example, vegetable water, rice soup contains more phytic acid, dietary fiber, if used to brew milk powder will make the combination of calcium and phytic acid in the milk is not easily absorbed by the body; formula already contains rich calcium to meet the needs of the baby, add calcium in the milk powder, not only can not increase its absorption, and too much calcium is also prone to cause dry stools and decreased appetite of the baby.  Secondly, the water source of the formula, pure water, distilled water or mineral water can be, with boiled pure water cooled to a certain temperature, usually about 40 degrees is most appropriate, so that some of the active substances in the formula such as probiotics can remain active and its role. The most inappropriate is to use boiling water to prepare formula milk powder, one high temperature is easy to destroy some of the active ingredients in the milk; secondly, may give the baby to drink too hot milk, damage to the baby’s delicate gastrointestinal tract mucosa.  Finally, the point to remind the mothers of artificially fed babies is that the current formula has been excessive protein and minerals in cow’s milk after processing technology to remove the calories, protein, vitamins and minerals and other nutrients closer to breast milk, basically there will not be the traditional concept of drinking milk powder baby easy “fire” phenomenon. The phenomenon.  Therefore, unless your baby is very active and sweating a lot, there is usually no need to give your baby some extra water after drinking milk. If a mother feeds her baby boiled water too often, the baby’s stomach capacity is limited, too much boiled water occupies the stomach capacity, the baby can not drink milk, but will affect the baby’s total milk intake, ultimately affecting the baby’s healthy growth.
