Breast milk is precious to newborn babies, and many mothers try their best to overcome their own difficulties and breastfeed.
But for those mothers with multiple births, exclusive breastfeeding is really difficult.
There is a big gap between "son preference" and drinking milk powder with twin brothers and breastfeeding with younger sisters.
Xiaoli gave birth to twins, which was really a double happiness, but there were new problems immediately after giving birth.
Xiaoli was very thin before pregnancy, and even after learning that she was pregnant with twins, her body shape did not change much.
After the baby is born, the biggest worry is the feeding problem. There was not much milk, so it was really hard to feed two children.
Two babies don't have enough to eat every day, but they are used to breast milk and don't accept milk powder. Mixed feeding is too difficult. Instead of letting two children receive mixed feeding together, let one of them drink milk powder and the other breast-feed.
After weighing the pros and cons, my mother decided to let my younger brother with a slightly better constitution drink milk powder, and my sister chose breastfeeding.
Unexpectedly, after feeding for several months, the changes and gaps between the two children are very large. After drinking milk powder, my brother, who was already in good health, lost a little weight than his sister who was breast-feeding, which made my mother feel very distressed.
Many relatives visited the house and saw the twins, joking that their mother "preferred girls to boys" and gave all the delicious food to her daughter.
There are five main differences between milk powder and breast milk.
Although milk powder and breast milk are both foods after the baby is born, they are still very different in essence. Although milk powder is prepared according to the ingredients of breast milk, there is still a gap.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the mother has enough milk, she will try breastfeeding.
Of course, it is reasonable to drink milk powder under special circumstances, and there is no need to be too reluctant.
1) different nutrients.
Every mother's breast milk contains the most precious colostrum, which is conducive to enhancing the baby's resistance, and the nutrients are most suitable for the baby.
Although the current milk powder has tried to meet the needs of babies, not every baby is suitable, and some even have allergies.
2) Different functions
The mother's milk will change subtly with the baby's age, so as to better meet the baby's needs.
However, in the design of milk powder, the ingredients are often fixed, and only different ingredients will change at each stage, which is obviously not personalized and humanized.
In addition, breast milk can inhibit the baby from getting sick and improve immunity, but milk powder can only satisfy the baby's food and clothing.
3) There is a gap in side effects.
Breastfeeding mothers usually need a little taboo, and some mothers may cause gastrointestinal discomfort if they eat a lot of greasy food.
If you are a baby who drinks milk powder, you may be constipated and get angry if you drink too much milk powder.
4) There is a gap in security.
Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to their usual diet. As long as they are guaranteed in this respect, there will basically be no problem.
Not necessarily in milk powder, after all, it is produced by the factory, and there may be some accidents in composition and hygiene.
If the mother chooses the wrong one, it may pose a threat to the child's health.
5) There is a price gap.
There is also a big gap in price. Breastfeeding needs nutritional supplements from mothers, and the cost of money is relatively small.
The price of milk powder is quite expensive, so it is not safe to choose the cheap one, but the high price may not be suitable for the baby. Look carefully at the ingredient selection and finally choose one suitable for children.
Generally speaking, breast milk and milk powder are still very different in nature. Mother tries to breastfeed if she can.
If there are special circumstances, you should also choose milk powder suitable for your child. When you grow up, take your children to outdoor sports to improve your immunity.
