Feeding milk powder to babies requires not only attention to the brand, but also to the baby's age and physical condition, so that the selected milk powder can better meet the baby's development and growth.
Many mothers may not be able to breastfeed due to work reasons or insufficient milk supply, and in this case, they will feed milk powder. There are many brands of milk powder on the market, with varying evaluations of quality, so it is essential to carefully select.
Criteria for selecting suitable milk powder for babies:
1. Age: Firstly, formula milk powder suitable for infants should be chosen according to their age. Infants of different ages should be divided into different stages, and should not consume whole milk powder. Breast milk is the best food for infants, and if available, it should not be stopped easily. Formula milk should only be selected when breast milk is insufficient.
2. Physical condition: If a child has mild to moderate cow's milk protein allergy, deeply hydrolyzed protein milk powder should be selected. If the child has severe cow's milk protein allergy or multiple food allergies, completely hydrolyzed protein milk powder should be chosen. If the child has malnutrition or intestinal absorption dysfunction, the corresponding medical nutrition milk powder should be selected based on specific conditions.
3. Convenience: Many mothers prefer to purchase milk powder through overseas shopping, believing that there are many issues with domestic milk powder. Of course, overseas shopping is now relatively convenient. However, if overseas shopping is inconvenient, purchasing domestic versions of well-known foreign brands of milk powder is also a good choice.
