Dragon, in the eyes of the Chinese people is a very auspicious and lucky zodiac, strong physique, vigorous are a good description of the zodiac dragon, many families will rush to give birth to a baby in the year of the dragon, I hope the baby can be in good health, smooth and safe. There are more dragon babies born, which means that there are more novice mothers, especially those who need to do it themselves, and sometimes they have no way to start feeding newborns. How to feed correctly and scientifically, Bao Ma is even more ignorant.
If the feeding method is not correct, it will not only lead to digestive dysfunction in the baby, but also cause nutritional diseases due to psychoanorexia in the long term [3]. See more, observe more"Feeding on demand" and "scientific feeding" are skills that everyone must learn and masterFor the healthy growth of the baby, today we will learn the correct feeding of the baby.
First of all, let's take a look at the important stages that 0 36 month old baby feeding needs to go through:
1.Newborns start breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth (30 minutes to 1 hour after birth) [1];
2.After 4 months, you can skip breastfeeding at night [1];
3.At 6 months, other foods (complementary foods) were added [5];
4.0 12 months to experience food progression, liquid-puree-solid food[1];
5.Breastfeeding (infant formula) up to 24 months [2];
6.Pre-school children are advised to drink 300 500 ml or equivalent of dairy products per day [5].
At each stage, what does Bao Ma need to do?
0 Breastfeeding during infancy at 6 months provides all the nutrients your baby needs [1]. Breastfeeding should be initiated as soon as possible after birth (within 30 minutes to 1 hour after birth), and early initiation of milk can promote the secretion of mother's milk by sucking the infant [1]. In addition, frequent sucking after birth also facilitates the passage of meconium and prompts jaundice to resolve as soon as possible [1].
Breast milk (infant formula) feeding, 0 3-month-old babies are fed on demand, more than 8 times a day [1], and the amount of milk each feeding can be not fixed; After 3 months, the baby's ** interval is gradually regular; 4 6-month-old infants are fed about once every 3 4 hours [1]; After 4 months, most babies can sleep well at night, and at this time they can go without breastfeeding at night [1].
Regular** and not breastfeeding at night is conducive to the development of good eating and sleeping habits for infants.
Everyone should pay attention to the time of adding complementary food!
Babies inAt the age of 6 monthsComplementary foods are added [5], which is added to meet the growth and development needs of infants, and it is recommended to breastfeed (infant formula) until 12 or 24 months [2].
ForBetween the ages of 2 and 6Preschool children (2 5 years old) are recommended to drink 300ml or more of dairy products per day [5], choose foods with high nutrient density such as milk, fruits, eggs and nuts as snacks, and should not choose high-salt, high-fat, high-sugar foods and sugary drinks [5].
Please think about a question: "Is adding complementary food to increase nutrition?" ”
In fact, there is a great possibility of micronutrient deficiency after the baby adds complementary food. In general, the low nutrient density of complementary foods, coupled with the reduction in the intake of breast milk (infant formula), makes it impossible for infants and young children to effectively meet their micronutrient needs [4]. Therefore, insist on giving your baby enough breast milk (infant formula) every day!
Smart mother's tips for choosing milk powder, first of all, it is recommended to chooseAdd probiotics and lactoferrinThe addition of probiotics can effectively regulate the baby's immune function, reduce infections and improve resistance [8].
If the baby's intestinal flora is not balanced, it will directly affect the baby's growth and development, causing the baby's loss of appetite, indigestion, malnutrition, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and other symptoms.
Probiotics can not only regulate the intestinal flora and promote the growth and development of infants and young children [6], but also improve diarrhea, constipation, eczema and other problems, and enhance immunity [7].
