A misconception: boiling water to brew milk powder cooled to feed a mommy said, “Previously see relatives and friends feeding children, are first boiling water to brew milk powder, let cooled to feed.” The expert interpretation The water temperature is too high, will destroy the whey protein in the milk powder to produce clots, affecting the digestion and absorption of children. “Infant formula is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, and vitamin A, vitamin D, and trace elements such as calcium and iron. The high temperature of boiling water, when brewing milk powder, will cause the whey protein in the milk powder to produce clots, which will affect the child’s digestion and absorption. On the other hand, certain vitamins that are unstable to heat can be destroyed, especially the immunologically active substances added to some formulas, which can be completely destroyed. Milk powder should be brewed with warm water to avoid the loss of nutrients in it. Usually the most suitable temperature for making milk is 40 degrees Celsius – 50 degrees Celsius, you can not use hotter water after soaking and waiting for it to cool down.” Expert introduction. Myth 2: Put milk powder first and then add water. Ms. Sheng’s daughter, Bebe, is 5 months old and recently contracted pneumonia and was hospitalized. As the hospital beds are tight, Ms. Sheng has to travel between home and the hospital every day, for convenience, she brought two bottles to fill with milk powder, “the hospital generally has hot water, when the time to pour a warm brew to the child to eat.” The expert interpretation for the brewing of milk powder is first put milk powder or first put water has been the topic of lively discussion among mothers. “This is a common mistake that many mothers make. There is actually a difference between adding milk powder first or water first.” Experts, “such as first add milk powder, then add water, still add to the original scale, the milk will be thickened; and first add water, then add milk powder, will rise out of some, but the concentration is appropriate. Babies eat too thick milk, gastrointestinal digestive capacity is difficult to bear, the kidney excretory capacity is also difficult to bear. Parents think that the milk thick some children have nutrition, anti-children indigestion, decreased appetite, diarrhea.” There are reports of newborns being fed too much milk, and kidney failure occurs. The new milk powder is a good choice for the baby, but the quality is also better than the current milk powder, I let the child’s father bought a small can, who knows that he ate diarrhea, had to rush back to the original milk powder, but wasted a lot of our silver. Many mothers feel that different brands of milk powder contain different nutrients, so they let their babies mix a variety of brands of milk powder in order to absorb a more comprehensive. In fact, often changing the brand of milk powder to your baby will bring more stress to your baby’s gut. “In the early stages of changing formula, it is essential to mix two kinds of milk powder, whether from one brand to another, or from one stage to another, a process called transferring milk.” Experts remind that the operation of the transfer is: first add one-third of the new milk powder to the old milk powder, so that after two or three days of eating nothing uncomfortable, then half of the old and half of the new milk powder for two or three days, and then one-third of the old and two-thirds of the new for two or three days, and finally transition to completely replace the old milk powder with the new one. It should be reminded that you should not add other new supplemental foods during the days of switching to milk, and do not switch to milk when your baby is sick or during vaccination. Myth #4: Use a milk pot to heat up brewed milk powder “I’m ready to buy a milk pot to take home, so I’m going to use it to heat up milk in the future anyway.” One mother said, “This is not how we drank milk when we were kids!” Expert interpretation “Already brewed milk powder if boiled again, it will make the structure of protein, vitamins and other nutrients change, thus losing the original nutritional value. The baby then drink such milk, more nutrition to get a big discount.” Expert analysis shows that this is a mistake of the same nature as brewing milk powder with boiling water. Myth #5: Brewed milk powder in the milk warmer “I am putting the brewed milk powder in the milk warmer, wait until the baby wants to eat milk at night, then take it out, convenient and save time, grandma do not have to get up at night.” Ms. Huang’s baby is 6 months old and is particularly diligent in eating milk at night. Expert interpretation “The soaked milk powder should not be stored at room temperature for more than 2 hours without having eaten it, the temperature of the milk warmer should be higher than room temperature, and if it is put in the refrigerator for freezing, it should not be more than 24 hours so that it is still hot to get up in the middle of the night, and if the baby has eaten it and there is leftover, it should be discarded.” Experts remind that if you want to brew milk as fast as possible, you can pour the hot water in the bottle first, put it in the warmer, and scoop the required amount of milk powder into the milk powder box for use first, and then directly pour the milk powder in the milk powder box into the bottle and shake it, which is equally convenient and hassle-free. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who have been using pure water or mineral water to brew milk powder for their babies, thinking that it is clean and hygienic, and that it can also supplement different minerals for the baby. Expert interpretation Pure water, like distilled water, does not contain impurities or bacteria, and does not contain a variety of inorganic salts, the lack of minerals contained in ordinary plain water; and mineral water, on the contrary, contains more minerals and complex. The infant gastrointestinal digestive function is not yet sound, long-term use of these two brewed milk powder will cause infant indigestion and constipation. The formula advocates the use of tap water, because the current family tap water is scientifically processed, the quality of the standard, tap water boiled, cooled to about 40 degrees Celsius, and then used to brew milk powder can be. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are not aware of how to make the milk powder even after making it, so all kinds of methods are used, but they are actually unscientific. Expert interpretation Stirring with a spoon or shaking vigorously up and down will produce a lot of bubbles in the milk, and babies who drink milk containing a lot of bubbles are prone to flatulence and burping and vomiting. The correct way to do this should be to add water and milk powder in proportion, put on the pacifier, clamp the bottle with both palms and roll it back and forth in a horizontal direction, remember to be gentle, yo!
