How do I make a formula?

Sitting in the children’s health clinic every day and listening to moms’ parenting doubts, it’s really not easy to think about moms today! In modern society, formula is very popular. How to prepare it? There are instructions on the package outside each can and bag of formula, clearly shown in words and diagrams. In the doctor’s imagination it should be among the simplest and least problematic things, right? Who knows that the careful mom still has so many details of the problem. For example, if you are afraid that your baby has a lot of fire, can you use vegetable water to flush milk powder? Some use rice broth to make milk powder. Some add calcium powder to the formula. Some mothers ask more detailed, is it with tap water after boiling water to brew powdered milk, or with pure water after boiling water cooled to a certain temperature to brew? Nowadays, many people have buckets of pure water or distilled water or mineral water at home. Is it better to use these water to boil and cool to a certain temperature, or mix hot and cold water to brew? In order to solve these doubts in the minds of mothers, first give mothers an introduction to the characteristics of formula milk powder. The formula is fresh milk through the use of a variety of modulation methods to change the composition of cow’s milk, so that it is as close as possible to the quality of breast milk, also known as breastfeeding milk powder. In the advanced food modulation methods, to change the structure of nutrients, such as reducing casein, adding whey protein, so that it is close to the protein composition of breast milk, more easily digested and absorbed; adding lactose, a variety of vitamins and minerals, etc., so that it is 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 baby health of the Such as DHA, AA, taurine, prebiotics and so on. These added nutrients in the preservation and brewing process has a certain temperature requirements, otherwise the biological activity of these nutrients will be greatly reduced or disappear. At the same time, taking into account the immature function of the kidneys of small babies, remove some of the excessive protein and mineral content, to reduce the burden on the baby’s delicate kidneys. In short, modern advanced food processing technology has been able to make cow’s milk protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and other nutrients to optimize and add, so that the formula is closer to breast milk composition. Knowing the characteristics of the formula, how to brew the corresponding requirements of the formula milk is also basically a spectrum. First of all, the formula is already scientifically formulated, a variety of nutrients balanced, can meet the baby’s nutritional needs, therefore, in the brewing formula milk powder, only need to add water, and do not need to add other ingredients to break the original has been balanced composition of nutrients, and even destroy the nutrients in the formula, affecting the child on the nutrients of the digestion and absorption. Such as vegetable water, rice soup contains more phytic acid, dietary fiber, if used to brew milk powder will make the milk calcium and phytic acid combination is not easy to be absorbed by the body; formula is already rich in calcium to meet the baby’s needs, add calcium in the milk powder, not only can not increase its absorption, and too much calcium is also prone to cause the baby dry stools, loss of appetite. Secondly, the water source of milk powder, pure water, distilled water or mineral water can be used, with boiling 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 maintain the activity and its role. The most inappropriate is to use boiling hot water brewing formula milk powder, a 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 mucosa. Finally, to artificially feed the baby’s moms to remind the point is that the current formula has been too much protein and minerals in cow’s milk after processing technology to remove its calories, protein, vitamins and minerals and other nutrients closer to breast milk, basically does not appear in the traditional concept of drinking powdered milk babies prone to “fire” of the phenomenon. Phenomenon. Therefore, unless the little baby activity is very large, sweat a lot, usually do not need to give the baby after drinking milk and then drink some additional water. If the mother too often to feed the baby boiled water, because the baby’s stomach capacity is limited, too much boiled water occupies the stomach capacity, the baby to drink milk will not be able to drink, but will affect the baby’s total milk intake, and ultimately affect the baby’s healthy growth.
