4 common mistakes when giving baby formula

For young children, besides breast milk, nutrition from formula milk plays a very important role for the comprehensive development of the baby, especially the period after the baby has weaned. When feeding babies with formula milk, mothers often choose to give their babies a type of milk that is suitable for their baby's age and with the formula closest to breast milk. Many mothers have made harmful mistakes when giving their babies formula without knowing that it will harm their children's health:

Mix milk with water that is too hot or too cold

Most mothers often use hot or lukewarm water to make formula for their babies. But did you know, when mixing milk with too hot water, some nutrients in milk such as lysine, folic acid, B vitamins, ... are easily damaged, degraded, lost their effects due to the effects of high temperature. . Even when the mother mixed with boiling water first, and then added cold water later, the milk ingredients could change as soon as the temperature was too high. This, in turn, causes the milk to accidentally become harmful to the baby's body. Some other mothers, because they want to save time, use only slightly warm or even cold water to make formula for their babies . This is very bad, because mixing milk with too cold water will not dissolve and form small balls of milk, the nutrients in the milk are therefore lost and not absorbed by the child.
The best way to prepare breastmilk is to use boiled water to cool to a standard temperature of 40-50 degrees to prepare milk for the baby. This is the most appropriate temperature, helping to ensure the nutritional ingredients in milk and help your baby absorb more. With Japanese milk products such as Glico Icreo may require a milk-making temperature higher than about 70 degrees C. If possible, mothers should use a water thermometer before preparing milk.

Microwave the milk or cool it in the refrigerator

 

To save time, many mothers come up with a way to prepare milk once a day, then store it in the refrigerator, or warm the milk in the microwave to let the baby drink. Or when the baby does not finish the formula, the mother will put it away for the child to drink next time. But this causes a lot of harm to the child's health. Because the refrigerator only works to preserve milk without spoiling, but it does not prevent bacteria from entering. Meanwhile, the child's immune system is very weak. If infected milk is ingested, it is easy to cause disease, and in the long run it will impair the child's health. Microwave warming bottles of milk can be harmful to young children as the microwave heat is very high altering the ingredients in the milk .

Sudden milk transition

Mothers often abruptly convert their baby's milk from formula 1 to formula 2 without any transition. The protein quality of these two types of milk is not the same, which can cause the child's kidneys to not adapt in time. In addition, converting milk can cause digestive disorders in the baby. Therefore, mothers note that the conversion of formula 1 to formula 2 should be carried out slowly over a period of 2 to 3 weeks:

From the first 1 to 3 days it is recommended to convert a single milk from formula 1 to formula 2. From day 4 to day 6, convert one more milk. On the following days, we should gradually convert each formula 2 until all formula 1 milk is replaced in a day.

I remember that formula 1 and formula 2 should not be mixed together. During the transition of milk, if there are some problems related to the child's health, it is necessary to review the formula or absorption of the baby.

For some types of Japanese milk, it is not necessary to change formula 1 to formula 2 when the baby reaches 1 year old. For example, Glico Icreo Balance milk can be used for older children in case children are underweight, lack nutrients, or are poorly absorbed.

In some cases mothers should change new types of milk for babies. That is when the baby has symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, redness on the body ... This proves that the baby is allergic to the milk being used . In addition, when the baby uses a type of milk for a long time and the mother does not see any signs of effect, it is advisable to consider changing milk for the baby. Mother should choose reputable and quality dairy companies to avoid buying types with unclear labels and origin.

Change the formula

Many mothers want their children to eat more and gain better weight, so they intentionally add a few teaspoons of formula compared to manufacturers' standards. Or because the child is lazy to drink, so the mother mixes it well so that the baby can drink a little but still get plenty of milk. On the contrary, some mothers, unfortunately, decided to dilute them more. Both methods are extremely wrong. Because the milk and water amount of the manufacturer has passed the research to best suit the baby. Mixing too thick will make it difficult for the baby to absorb nutrients in the milk and delay development. Also too diluted will not provide enough nutrients for the child. Therefore, the best mother should comply with the manufacturer's formula.
