preface:
After weaning breast milk and milk powder, children basically start drinking milk in the next stage.
Many mothers don't know at what age should milk be given to their children?
How much milk is appropriate for your baby to drink in a day?
What kind of milk should I choose after weaning off milk powder?
Is recombinant milk with additives suitable for guiding your child to drink milk?
Is milk safe now? How to choose milk is more appropriate?
So let's talk about the baby drinking milk today.
1. After what age can my baby start drinking milk?
This is actually strictly speaking, children under one year old should not be given to drink cow dairy products. Breast milk and infant formula should be used as the main nutrient intake channels.
If children over one year old eat complementary foods and have balanced nutrition, they can actually gradually and slowly expose children to animal milk fat. Our family tried to drink milk for her from the beginning of her year old, and the child did not show lactose intolerance. At that time, I was also very careful in choosing milk. I've written about it in previous articles as well. After all, the child has just been exposed to milk, so it needs to be strictly screened.
2. How much milk is appropriate for your baby to drink in a day?
As the baby grows up, when the breast milk is weaned and no longer drinks milk powder, how much milk should be consumed per day? In fact, this depends on the protein and calcium content of milk, as well as the child's own appetite and intestinal conditions. Overall
Experts recommend drinking 400-600ml/day of milk as a must for developing children. Generally, a box of children's milk is almost 200~ 250ML. It is recommended to have one box in the morning and one box before bedtime.
Our neighbors began to pay attention to this problem after the end of World War II, the school lunch will be distributed with milk, do not ignore the two cups of milk every day, maybe your child's height difference of 5cm will rely on two cups of milk on this day to drink. ~
3. Is the additive reconstituted milk suitable for guiding children to drink milk?
Totally unsuitable. Some children do not like the taste of milk, or even drink milk. At this time, many parents want to use sweet and fragrant recovery milk to guide their children to drink milk, which is completely wrong. Recovery milk not only has nutrient loss, but also contains a lot of sugar, flavor, and fat, which are the causes of child tooth decay and sub-health.
At that time, I also experienced that children were used to sweet milk powder, and after changing it to milk, she felt that it was not good to drink, and for a while she was more resistant. I looked for some pictures on the Internet myself. Tell your child that the milk you drink is the hard work of these cute black and white cows. They live in natural pastures with suitable temperatures, live a carefree life every day like you, go out and play every day, eat fertile pasture grass, and are well cared for by their "mom and dad" keepers every day. So they make you happy every day! The milk that is produced is also happy milk, and you will have magical happiness magic when you drink it!
The little children looked at these beautiful natural organic pastures, cute cows and cows, and naturally became interested in the milk they produced. After all, it is not difficult to drink, in fact, as long as you get used to it, most children will like to drink milk.
4. Is milk safe now? How to choose milk is more appropriate?
There are several places to pay attention to on this issue.
Take a look at the milk source
Milk source is the most critical point to identify milk quality, which has great correlation factors with the grass growth environment, cow feeding environment, dairy cow breed and raw milk indicators. The internationally recognized "golden milk source belt" generally refers to the temperate grassland at a latitude of about 45 ° north and south, which is more suitable for pasture growth than other regions, but the actual growth state of forage grass is also very related to the specific local climate. Temperate zone is divided into continental climate, monsoon climate, oceanic climate, oceanic climate throughout the year temperature is suitable for precipitation, more suitable for pasture growth. Therefore, in temperate oceanic climates, the pastures are mainly free-range, and the cows only eat natural grass, and the cows do not have too much artificial intervention. In China, due to climatic restrictions, dairy cows are almost all captive, and dry pasture need to be transported off-site, supplemented by artificial feed and artificial water sources. Therefore, the free-range milk source is more assured for the child to drink, which is why dairy products in the Netherlands and New Zealand are sought after by mothers.
Second, see if it is organic
The baby is in the growth and development period, and is more sensitive to hormone pesticide residues, so it is recommended to choose organic milk for the child, of which the organic certification in the Eu and the United States will be more stringent than the domestic organic certification. The European Union Organic Certification Commission conducts irregular pasture raids every year to test the water source and pasture of dairy cows.
Three looks at the ingredient list
In the ingredient list, if only raw milk is written, then this milk can be regarded as pure milk, but all other additions are artificially processed milk, not pure milk. Children's daily drinking or choose the ingredient list is only safer and more nutritious with raw milk.
Four looks at the nutrient content
In fact, the ingredients that mothers are most concerned about in milk should be protein and calcium. Domestic protein content standards for milk: 2.9g/100ml, it is recommended that the protein for children to drink is 3.5g/100ml or more, and the calcium content is more than 120mg/100ml.
Well, the above is almost my children's milk selection summary experience.
Children's milk is definitely going to drink, how to drink, how to drink the safety of parents also need to think more. I personally recommend focusing on milk source, organic, nutritional ingredients these points, according to the standards in the text strict screening, our baby has been drinking in the Netherlands is also very popular Vecozuivel organic children's milk, in addition to online Tmall, Jingdong, offline quality life supermarkets China Resources Ole, Hema fresh and so on are sold. Using this dairy product to bake bread for children in their own homes every day, cakes and small cookies will also be very healthy.
Sometimes there is an emergency to go out of class in the morning, and it is also convenient to bring a bag with you and some small cookies or bread on the road. In short, choosing a good milk that children like adults can rest assured is the wish of every parent ~ double eleven may wish to pay attention to it. Prepare milk for your child
