According to the milk powder recommended by maternal and infant bloggers, what other issues need attention?

The most fundamental principle of choosing milk powder is that the nutrients in the milk powder formula and its preparation amount are closer to breast milk, the better, and the more suitable for children's growth, the better. Therefore, the following aspects need to be considered:

1. Excellent quality and reasonable formula.

At present, there are two types in the market, one is mainly milk, accounting for about 80% of formula milk, and the other is mainly soybean.

Milk-based formula milk changes the composition of milk;

Reduce the content of protein and excessive sodium salt in milk, reduce the load on kidney, and supplement essential amino acids for children's development.

The ratio of whey protein to casein has been adjusted to make it easier for the baby to digest and absorb. Fortunately, some formulas have recently increased the content of α -lactalbumin in whey protein, which makes the formula closer to breast milk.

The fat content is reduced, and saturated fatty acids are partially or completely replaced by unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to the cardiovascular development of children.

Some minerals and vitamins were adjusted and added to overcome the shortage of milk and the needs of children's development. For example, reduce the content of calcium and phosphorus and adjust their proportions. Supplement iron, zinc, vitamins A and D, etc.

In order to make the formula closer to breast milk, some advanced manufacturers have added some nucleotides, AA, DHA or linoleic acid and linolenic acid, the precursors of AA and DHA, which are helpful to enhance children's immunity, nervous system and retinal development.

● Soy formula:

Because protein is a plant protein, its protein is better than casein in milk after adding methionine and L-carnitine, and it can be used for children who are allergic to milk protein. Because of the high content of unsaturated fatty acids, it is easy to digest and absorb, and contains no lactose, so it is suitable for children who are lactose intolerant.

2. According to the age of the month, choose the stage.

Because children need different nutrition at different stages of growth and development, especially with the continuous enhancement of digestive function. For example, a newborn child and a 7-8-month-old child need different nutrition and digestive functions, and the demand for nutrition within 1 year old and over 1 year old is also different.

3. According to physique, it varies with "treasure"

Some children are allergic to milk protein, lactose intolerant, or have special needs for nutrition because of premature delivery, so they need to choose a formula with therapeutic significance.
