1. Balanced nutrition: Breast milk is the most suitable food for babies, but in some cases, if the mother's milk is insufficient or unable to breastfeed, formula milk powder can be used as a supplement. Mixed feeding can help your baby get more comprehensive nutrition.
2. Improve immunity: Breast milk contains a lot of immune substances, which can help your baby resist diseases. Although mixed feeding can not completely replace the immune function of breast milk, it can provide some protection.
3. Digestive system development: protein and fat in breast milk are more easily digested and absorbed by the baby, which contributes to the development of digestive system. Although formula milk powder has also been scientifically matched, it may not be as suitable for the baby's digestive needs as breast milk.
4. Allergy risk: Some babies may be allergic to certain ingredients in breast milk or formula. Mixed feeding may increase the risk of allergies. If you find that your baby has allergic symptoms, you should seek medical advice in time and adjust the feeding method.
5. Oral health: Long-term use of bottle feeding may lead to problems such as dental caries in infants. When mixed feeding, attention should be paid to controlling the frequency and time of bottle use to reduce the impact on baby's oral health.
6. Parent-child relationship: Mixed feeding may affect the intimate contact between mother and child, thus affecting the establishment of parent-child relationship. It is suggested that breastfeeding should be given priority to as far as possible when conditions permit.
In short, mixed feeding has a certain impact on the baby's health, but as long as it is arranged reasonably and the baby's reaction is observed, the baby's healthy growth can be guaranteed. If in doubt, please consult a professional doctor.
