How do you know what kind of milk powder is suitable for your baby? Breast milk is the best food for babies, but some mothers are short of breast milk or unable to breastfeed, so they are faced with milk powder feeding. But do you know what kind of milk powder is suitable for your baby? Come and have a look.

How do you know what kind of milk powder your baby is suitable for? 1 constitution: attachment to breast milk, sensitive taste.

Demand: Mild milk powder.

Choose milk powder: When the baby is ready to add milk powder for the first time, he will face the first problem, which is "adapting to the taste of milk powder". If the baby is attached to breast milk and has a sensitive taste, adding milk powder will lead to hiding from the bottle, aversion to breastfeeding, reduced milk volume, crying and difficulty in weaning. This kind of baby is more suitable for milk powder with light taste.

All-lactose milk powder does not contain added sugar such as white sugar, which is light in taste and moderate in sweetness, and is more easily accepted by babies. For example, the products of many dairy companies such as He Fei, Yili, Junlebao, Shengyuan, An Zhi of Xi, Beinmei, etc. all contain no lactose and do not add any other sugar.

Constitution: easy to diarrhea.

Requirements: regulate intestinal flora and enhance immunity.

Choose milk powder: the immune system and intestinal development of infants are not fully mature, and their resistance to external viruses and bacteria is poor. If they are not careful, they will be infected and cause diarrhea. If the baby is easily troubled by infectious diarrhea, it is necessary to pay attention to improving immunity, establishing healthy intestinal flora, and focusing on lactoferrin, nucleotides, probiotics and prebiotics in the choice of milk powder. For example, You Bo Jie Bei Shu, Royal Mei Su Jia Er, He Fei Jing Yi Jia, Haipu Kai Nuo 1897 He Zhi, He Lan Mamapu, Jinling Scenic Lake.

If the baby is weak in digestion and absorption, eating milk powder is easy to cause diarrhea due to indigestion, often accompanied by green stool, oily stool, breast flap, abdominal distension, abdominal sound and other symptoms. Then such babies also need to consider choosing digested and absorbed milk powder.

Constitution: easy to constipation.

Demand: reduce the probability of constipation

Choose milk powder: constipation is not based on defecation interval, only constipation is dry stool and difficult defecation. The causes of infant constipation are complex and diverse, such as milk powder is too thick, milk powder water temperature is too high, food allergy, too much calcium supplement, too little dietary fiber intake, intestinal diseases and so on. However, some babies will still eat milk powder for constipation after excluding the above reasons, so when choosing milk powder, you can pay attention to the nutritional components that can reduce the probability of constipation: OPO, anhydrous cream, thin cream, probiotics and prebiotics. For example, flying cranes fly sails, gold collars protect the crown, cherish his beauty and Excellence, excellent Bo Ruimu, and synbiotics arrange stars.

Constitution: allergy

Requirements: avoid allergens and desensitize.

Choose milk powder: If the baby has symptoms such as eczema, constipation, severe spitting, cough, etc. from the first time he eats milk powder, then go to the hospital to check whether he is allergic to milk powder. Babies diagnosed with milk allergy need to stop eating ordinary milk powder, choose deeply hydrolyzed protein/amino acid milk powder according to the degree of allergy, go to the hospital for review at least 3 or 6 months, and then switch to moderately hydrolyzed milk powder according to the doctor's advice. At present, the registered amino acid milk powder includes: Newconte amino acid milk powder and Enminshu amino acid milk powder; Registered deep hydrolyzed milk powder includes: Elshu deep hydrolyzed protein milk powder and Timoshenko deep hydrolyzed protein milk powder.

Constitution: lactose intolerance

Requirements: Avoid foods rich in lactose and help restore the activity of intestinal lactase.

Choose milk powder: If the baby has diarrhea 8 times/kloc-0 times/day after drinking milk (breast milk/ordinary milk powder) and the stool is watery, egg-shaped, frothy and sour, then the baby is probably lactose intolerant and should be taken to the hospital for lactose intolerance test immediately. If lactose intolerance is diagnosed, it needs to be replaced by lactose-free milk powder or improved by taking lactase.

In addition, some babies will have secondary lactose intolerance after long-term treatment of diarrhea. This is because repeated diarrhea damages the top of the baby's intestinal villi, leading to the lack of lactase in the body. At this time, in order to reduce the baby's intestinal burden and help restore the activity of intestinal lactase, you can eat lactose-free milk powder for a while, which will help the recovery of diarrhea. Common registered lactose-free milk powder includes Youbo Ryan lactose-free milk powder, Nestle Anerenen lactose-free milk powder and so on.

How do you know what kind of milk powder is suitable for babies to eat and eat well?

"The baby likes to eat, and it tastes delicious."

As the saying goes, you can grow well if you eat well. Milk powder is an important source of nutrition for infants. If the baby likes to eat and eats well, it can ensure adequate milk and nutrition.

Therefore, after choosing a milk powder, first observe whether the baby likes it after eating it, what is his mental state, and whether he refuses to drink or hates milk. If the baby touches the nipple with his tongue when eating, or always cries after eating, then the baby may not like this milk powder very much ~

Of course, it always takes an adaptation process to get in touch with a new milk powder at first, so don't rush to change milk powder just because the baby can't accept the new milk powder for a while. You should give the baby some time to adapt first. If the baby still doesn't like to drink after many attempts, it means that the baby is really not suitable for this milk powder, so you can consider changing the milk powder.

It is worth noting that we encourage our baby to eat milk powder with light taste and natural milk flavor. Some milk powder will be sweeter when added with white sugar and flavors, but if the baby likes to drink milk because he likes the taste, it may cause the baby to rely on sweetness, which is not conducive to the baby to develop good eating habits.

Step 2 have a good time

"No gastrointestinal discomfort, normal bowel movements, no abnormalities."

The baby's digestive and absorption system is not fully developed. If they eat improper food, especially the milk powder they drink is not suitable for the baby, it is easy to be reflected in the gastrointestinal system, which can be judged by the change of stool frequency, stool color, character and smell.

If the baby is more suitable for a period of milk powder, then under normal circumstances, the poop is pasty or strip-shaped, which is thicker and similar to the consistency of mustard sauce. If you don't do it, it's not difficult to defecate. The stool is light yellow or brownish yellow (some baby's stool is green paste or curd, which is also normal), and occasionally it smells bad.

The frequency of defecation is relatively stable, usually 1 ~ 2 times a day, and some babies may defecate once every 2 or 3 days. Different defecation time is also related to the formula difference of milk powder. As long as the stool is normal, don't worry.

Of course, due to the individual differences of each baby, poop is actually different. Even the same baby, at different stages, due to different digestive tract development, different eating types, pull out different poop.

If the baby has long-term constipation, sour stool, breast flap pulling, flatulence and other symptoms after eating a period of milk powder, it is likely that the baby's stomach and intestines are not adapted to this period of milk powder. First, seek medical attention in time to investigate the cause, and then consider replacing milk powder according to the specific situation. Among them, if the baby's digestive ability is poor and there is indigestion, then you can pay attention to the nutrients that are well digested and absorbed and the ingredients that help digestion and absorption when choosing milk powder.

If the baby has severe diarrhea, bloody stool or foam, obvious sour taste and other symptoms after eating a period of milk powder, you should take the baby to the hospital in time to check whether it is milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance. If one of them is diagnosed, you can no longer eat ordinary formula milk powder, and you should change it to the corresponding special powder in time.

Step 3 grow well

"The baby's growth and development indicators are normal"

Before the age of one, milk is the baby's staple food. Whether breast-feeding or milk powder feeding, milk provides an important source of nutrition and energy for the baby's growth and development. If the baby eats a milk powder without any discomfort symptoms, the growth and development indicators are normal when the milk quantity is sufficient, indicating that this milk powder is more suitable.

Of course, every baby has individual differences, and the growth rate at each stage will be different. As long as the baby's development is basically within the standard range, don't worry too much.

Parents can refer to the following table for height and weight range for investigation:

Note that if the deviation between the baby's data and the standard value is greater than 10%, or the baby's height and weight have hardly increased or decreased for two consecutive months, then the baby is likely to have a problem of developmental retardation, which requires parents to pay attention to and take the baby to a doctor in time to investigate the reasons.

When the baby 1 year-old, the amount of milk will gradually decrease, and complementary food will gradually replace milk and become the staple food. If the baby's growth and development are poor due to insufficient nutrition intake, then the first thing to consider is the problem of balanced diet, especially the baby's complementary food intake.

4. Good spirit

"The baby's mental state is no different."

Under normal circumstances, after eating milk powder, the baby's mental state has no abnormal change compared with before, or presents a satisfied state, and his sleep condition is better, which also shows that this milk powder is suitable for the baby.

However, if the baby often shows anxiety, crying, restless sleep and tickling after eating milk powder, it is necessary to consider whether this milk powder is suitable for the baby. After all, the content that babies can express is limited, and they often reflect their state through body language and mental outlook.

For example, some babies are allergic to milk protein, and eating ordinary formula milk powder will induce adverse reactions such as skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal system, and the reaction accompanying mental state is crying and discomfort.

5, suitable for the baby's physique

"Different physiques are suitable for different milk powders."

Every baby has individual differences, different constitutions and different suitable milk powder.

Therefore, when parents judge whether this milk powder is suitable for their baby, it is best to know what kind of physique the baby belongs to, such as whether the baby is prone to illness. Is it easy to digest? Are you picky about food? Are you overweight? Whether it is a special physique ... Finally, according to the baby's specific physique, judge whether your milk powder is suitable or not ~

How do you know what kind of milk powder your baby is suitable for? 3 How to judge whether milk powder is suitable for baby?

1, by observing whether the baby is normal and willing to eat this milk powder.

2. Pay attention to whether the baby's stool is regular and whether the stool characteristics are normal after eating this milk powder.

3. Observe whether the baby's mental state and physical development indicators are normal after eating milk powder.

Signs of maladjustment

If the baby continues to have one or more of the following symptoms, parents should stop drinking the current milk powder, consult a doctor, and then change to a milk powder suitable for the baby.

1, the baby has been crying after nursing, which can last for a while.

2, the baby will have vomiting symptoms every time he eats milk.

3, the baby continues to diarrhea or constipation after breastfeeding.

4. The baby has symptoms such as intestinal spasm, tummy swelling, pain or tightness after breastfeeding.

5, the baby is impatient and often wakes up in the middle of the night.

6. The baby has a rough rash, which feels like sandpaper, especially around the face and anus.

7, the baby often catches a cold and has symptoms of infection in the ear.

The baby's stool with formula milk is light yellow or yellowish brown. Compared with breast milk, the residue of formula milk will make the baby's stool look bigger, because formula milk can't be completely digested like breast milk. In addition, the smell of baby's stool eating formula milk is also smelly, more like adult's stool. Babies who eat formula milk usually need to defecate at least/kloc-0 times a day to feel comfortable. The longer they don't defecate, the harder the stool will be and the harder it will be to excrete, which will lead to constipation.
