What kind of milk should babies not feed?

Breastmilk is the best food for infants within 4 years of age (birth to 1 year of age) and is the best source of infant nutrition. Breast milk is the most complete nutrient in nature and the most suitable nutrient for infant growth and development. Efforts should be made to use the mother's milk to feed her baby, at least let the child eat enough breast milk for 4 months.

When a child grows, has insufficient breast milk, or has a special condition for her mother and cannot breastfeed her baby, feeding her baby with fresh milk or whole milk powder is not appropriate.

First, milk contains approximately three times as much protein as breast milk. Such high levels of protein can increase the burden on the developing kidney and even impair kidney function. High-concentration protein, also known as high-permeability milk, also affects the digestive tract mucosa, and can cause hemorrhagic enteritis in severe cases.

The fat in milk has a significant difference in fatty acid composition from breast milk, especially the lack of fatty acid, linoleic acid, necessary for infant growth, which is not good for newborn babies.

Milk contains a high amount of minerals, and the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is also detrimental to the baby's physiology. Iron content can not meet the needs of the baby, the result can cause iron deficiency, thus affecting the baby's physical and intellectual development.

In addition, the amount of vitamins A, C, D, and E contained in milk is also very low, far from meeting the normal needs of infants.

Whole milk powder is the dry powder after the special processing of milk. The traits and nutrient content after adding water after reconstitution are similar to fresh milk. Therefore, it is not appropriate to feed infants within 1 year of age without defatted and adjusted by conventional volume ratio (ie, 1 part of milk powder plus 4 parts of water).

The American Academy of Pediatrics and domestic pediatric nutrition experts agree that milk is not suitable for babies fed within 12 months. Children aged 6 months to 1 year old cannot drink milk, and certainly less suitable for feeding newborn babies up to 6 months old.

After proper treatment of milk, which is a specially processed infant formula, it changes the original composition of the milk to make it close to breast milk, which is consistent with the child's age and physiological condition, and the formula milk is used to feed infants to overcome the milk. The shortcomings, change "not suitable" as "suitable", this is the uniqueness of formula milk powder. Parents should use domestically-made mother-fat milk powder or other imported branded formulas suitable for different months of age based on economic conditions and actual conditions.

There are many varieties of infant formula, which one is best for your child. Please consult your doctor and ask for more advice. Also need to pay attention to the preparation method and precautions. After aging, it is necessary to replace milk powder varieties suitable for the age at that time.
