The month was exclusively breastfed before five months, but the mother needed to go to work after maternity leave, and the mother worked farther away and there was no way to continue breastfeeding.
So the mother began to breastfeed the month two weeks before she was ready to go to work, and switched to milk powder feeding, and the mother could adapt to the month when she fed.
But later, after her mother went to work, she told her grandmother to feed milk powder to Yueyue.
When Grandma was feeding milk powder, her mother gave a flat spoonful of 30 ml of milk powder, but Grandma felt that these milk powders were so thin, and the child was so thin, how to eat full.
He also felt that his granddaughter ate less, so he took it upon himself to add half a spoonful, and some even half a spoonful of milk powder.
Obviously, there are only 150 ml of water, and it is enough to add 5 level spoons of milk powder, but Grandma still added half a spoon to the back, and each time it was 5 and a half spoonfuls of milk powder.
And after drinking the milk powder flushed by grandma, she often has constipation, and used to pull 1 to 2 times a day to defecate, but if grandma feeds, she often does not pull the stool for a day, or even pulls it once every two days, and the stool is very hard, and the moon and moon always cry.
Especially when I pull the stool every day, I cry a lot.
Because the mother is busy at work, she tells the grandmother to drink more water when the child is constipated, but it seems that drinking more water will not solve the problem.
Later, the mother had to take Yueyue to see a doctor, fortunately this doctor is more responsible, and consulted the child in detail what milk powder to drink? How did it rush?
Grandma also followed, that is, she saw that the child was thinner and did not eat much, so she added half a spoonful of milk powder to the child each time.
The doctor said that the ratio of each type of milk powder is very strict, and the osmotic pressure that is suitable for the child to drink is suitable for the child to drink, and it can be absorbed well after drinking.
You add more milk powder to him, not only waste milk powder, but also the osmotic pressure is too high for the child to digest, and the water in the intestine is not enough, the child's intestines are not peristaltic, and it is easy to cause constipation.
You want your child to eat a little more and grow faster, but it often hurts the child!
The doctor also said that a few days ago they received a two-month-old child, also milk powder feeding, because the child is premature and thin, usually eat less, grandma is also very anxious, so she suddenly added a spoonful of milk powder to her granddaughter.
Originally 90 ml of water and three spoons of milk powder is enough, but grandma added 4 spoons of milk powder, the child only drank for more than a week, and then the fever cried endlessly to the hospital for examination, it is already small bowel necrotizing colitis.
It is because of the milk powder with too high osmotic pressure that the child's intestines cannot digest, and even affect the health of the child's intestines!
Grandma was frightened when she heard it, she said I just wanted the child to eat more, I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Why is it recommended to give your child pure breast milk? Because breast milk is a naturally formulated food with a very balanced water and nutrient content, and the freshness is balanced.
When the mother gives the child milk powder, avoid three wrong actions, otherwise the child is prone to constipation
Action 1: The milk powder is too strong
There are some milk powder spoons that are smaller, generally 30 ml of water, a flat spoon of milk powder.
We found that after many milk powder cans are opened, there will be a small piece of stuff inside after tearing open the tin foil, this small piece is actually when we scrape the side of the milk powder when we spoon the milk powder, to scrape the milk powder flat, because the milk powder is a flat spoon.
If parents pile up too much milk powder when brewing milk powder, or add an extra half spoon of milk powder into the water, it is easy to cause milk powder to be too thick, and it is easy for children to digest it and cause constipation.
Action 2: Additional supplementation with nutrients such as calcium and iron
The so-called "formula milk powder", that is, according to the ingredients needed for the child's growth, will even cover up some shortcomings in breast milk.
For example, breast milk contains less vitamin K, breast milk contains less iron, and there is basically no vitamin D in breast milk, but formula milk powder will strengthen these ingredients.
We found that formula-fed children who underwent routine blood tests after 6 months of age were less likely to be deficient than formula-fed children!
Give your child milk powder, if there is no special situation, do not give your child extra calcium or iron supplementation, especially for children who were fed pure milk powder 6 months ago, basically do not need additional calcium and iron supplements, vitamin D can be supplemented.
Action 3: Randomly change the milk powder for the child
Mian Mian's son has just turned 6 months old, but she has already changed three brands of milk powder for her children, and as a result, the child's stomach has been adjusted very poorly.
And 6 months only 14 pounds, belongs to the middle and lower weight, height is only 65 cm, shorter than the average child.
It is because she frequently changes the brand of milk powder for the child, resulting in the child's gastrointestinal confusion, often diarrhea and constipation.
Parents are advised not to replace their children with milk powder before 6 months, if there are no special circumstances.
The smaller the child, the worse the stomach, and when feeding the child's milk powder, we must pay more attention to avoid these misunderstandings, so that the child can eat well and grow up fast.
