In the past few days, the group of mothers on WeChat has been chatting non-stop. Most of them are sharing the joy of being a new mother and discussing the troubles in the parenting process. The hottest topic of conversation is that I don’t have enough milk and I can’t feed my baby regularly during working hours. What kind of milk powder is close to breast milk? Of course, many experienced mothers also recommend buying formula milk powder (that is, breast milk powder). There are many opinions on many brands of formula milk powder being touted, including channels for purchasing formula milk powder, etc. The more they chatted, the more worried I became that mothers would blindly pursue milk powder and fall into misunderstandings and buy milk powder that is not suitable for their babies. For the healthy growth of babies, Youyou.com hopes that mothers will not fall into the following misunderstandings when buying formula milk powder.
Misunderstanding 1: When selecting milk powder, special attention should be paid to the ratio of fortified nutrients in the instructions
(
The formula milk powder currently on the market, whether domestic or imported, only needs to be fed to those under 10 years of age. The nutrients contained in various milk powders for babies are roughly close to those of breast milk.)
I believe that many mothers will look at the ingredients of formula milk powder when choosing milk powder, and they will find that some brands of milk powder have fortified certain nutrients. Most people would think that the ingredients are more nutritious. But for babies, the added nutrients have no effect on them. Because in addition to drinking milk, babies over 1 month old also need to eat complementary foods. Many nutrients can also be supplemented in complementary foods.
It can be seen that when purchasing, parents do not have to be selective just for certain or two nutrients. What is more important is to choose formula milk powder produced by
manufacturers with reliable quality for their babies.
It is recommended to log in to the official cross-border maternal and infant e-commerce mall of Youyou Station to purchase imported maternal and infant products, which are shipped directly from Macau self-operated chain stores and are guaranteed to be authentic through the double supervision of Macau Customs and Mainland China Customs.
Myth 2: The more fragrant the formula milk powder, the better
The more fragrant the milk powder, the better. Not only do babies like it when their parents prepare milk powder, but they also think that the aroma gives people the illusion of high nutrition. Therefore, manufacturers consciously add some aromatic substances such as vanillin milk flavor to milk powder. However, aromatic substances can only change the taste of milk powder but cannot increase the nutrition of milk powder. Milk powder originally has a light fragrance and no special smell. Therefore, the quality of milk powder cannot be judged solely on whether it tastes fragrant or not.
Misunderstanding 3: The higher the calcium content and concentration of milk powder, the better
Everyone knows that babies need a lot of calcium for growth and development, but it does not mean that the higher the calcium content and concentration of formula milk powder, the better and more suitable it is for babies. . In fact, the calcium content of formula milk powder raw materials and milk itself from different manufacturers is not very different. However, in order to find selling points, some manufacturers add chemical calcium to natural milk to artificially increase the calcium content of the product. However, too much chemical calcium cannot be absorbed and utilized by the human body. Instead, it will make the stool hard and difficult to pass. Over time, it is easy to be absorbed in the human body. Medium precipitation may even cause stones.
Myth 4: Adding more sugar to formula milk will not cause internal heat
Many parents believe that infants who drink milk powder are prone to internal heat and should always add some sugar to relieve internal heat. Some even use a spoonful of sugar with a spoonful of milk powder, which is wrong. There is no need to add additional sugar when drinking the formula according to its composition. If too much sugar is added, it will lead to unreasonable nutrition and high sugar in the baby's body, which can easily lead to baby obesity.
Misunderstanding 5: The more expensive the formula milk powder, the better the milk powder is (don’t fall for the price hype of the merchants)
Many parents will think that the more expensive the milk powder, the better it means the safer it is! If you carefully study the formula ingredient lists of various milk powders, you will easily find that the nutritional content is nothing more than those of similar products, and the prices should not differ much. However, some milk powder manufacturing companies will take advantage of parents' consumption mentality to deliberately inflate prices, so parents should keep their eyes open when making choices. Generally speaking, imported milk powder is safer than domestic milk powder. If you want to buy safe formula milk powder, it is recommended to choose imported milk powder.
