This problem is particularly prominent when the mother changes the baby's milk. Sometimes I hear my mother tell me about the "tossing" experience of changing the baby's milk in a hurry because of her anger, constipation, indigestion or allergies. I really want to say that mothers blindly change milk, and milk powder is innocent!
Changing milk is risky, so mom needs to be careful.
Why don't many pediatricians recommend changing the baby's milk easily? Because the baby is in the primary stage of development, and all kinds of physical functions, including the digestive system, are not fully developed, it is particularly sensitive to food changes and difficult to adapt, especially milk powder, an important food that is in contact with every day. It is harmful to change milk blindly. When the baby has some abnormal situations after eating milk powder, mothers often take changing milk as the only choice to solve the problem. It seems that these problems must be caused by milk powder. As long as the baby's symptoms change, it will be relieved immediately. But more often, changing the baby's milk blindly can not only solve the original problem, but also bring more health risks. What are the symptoms of the baby's discomfort in changing milk? According to experts, diarrhea is the most common and serious symptom after the baby changes milk, which affects the normal growth and development of the baby, and may also cause complications such as malnutrition, multivitamin deficiency and infection outside the digestive tract. Another bad result that may be caused by the discomfort of changing milk is allergy. Usually, mothers change the original low-sensitized moderate hydrolyzed protein formula into ordinary formula without anti-allergic effect. The main manifestations of allergies are itchy skin and rash. Mothers should pay special attention, once the baby's allergic constitution is stimulated. In other words, once the baby has allergic symptoms, he may be troubled by more allergic diseases in his later growth. In addition, the baby does not like breastfeeding, vomiting, constipation, crying and so on. It is also the possible result of mother blindly changing milk.
Tips for changing milk scientifically
Although we advise mothers not to change their babies' milk at will, what aspects should mothers pay attention to when they have to change their babies' milk in some extreme cases? 1. Mothers should consult a doctor before changing milk. Professional medical staff will judge whether the baby needs to change milk according to the baby's physical condition, and give scientific guidance on the time, method and matters needing attention in the process of changing milk. 2, changing milk is the most taboo too frequently. Novice mothers should have a basic understanding that babies are not suitable for frequent milk changes. Because when exposed to new food, the baby's digestive system needs some time to adapt. Frequent milk change will not only bring a heavy burden to the baby's stomach, but also easily lead to a decline in the baby's appetite, which is difficult to adapt. 3. There are ways to change milk scientifically. When changing baby's milk, the common method at present is "mixing old and new", that is, adding new milk powder to the original milk powder appropriately, and it is best to start from a small amount and gradually increase it. If the baby has no adverse reactions, it will be moderately accelerated until it is completely converted into new milk powder. 4. Avoid changing milk from the source. Mothers should not change the baby's milk when it is uncomfortable, but should choose the most suitable milk powder according to the baby's physical characteristics from the beginning. For example, some babies born by cesarean section, if the mother can know as soon as possible that the allergic probability of cesarean section babies will be higher than that of natural delivery babies, she should first choose exclusive breastfeeding. If breast milk is insufficient, you can choose moderate hydrolyzed protein formula with low allergenicity under the advice of a doctor.
