In fact, many mothers are very troubled by the matter of weaning their children, and now they pay attention to scientific parenting, but there are still some parents who do not know how to feed their children correctly. There is no way to grasp even the time of the child's correct weaning, which is likely to cause problems with the child's body.
When the child was more than one year old, Xinxin and her mother-in-law quarreled over whether to wean the child. The mother-in-law said that since the child can be supplemented by food, there is no need to spend another amount of money to buy milk powder, and it can also save the family's expenses. But Xinxin feels that drinking milk can give children calcium supplements, help children absorb more nutrients, and are good for children's bodies. But no matter how Xinxin explained, the mother-in-law just did not agree, and in the end, Xinxin could only compromise and did not buy milk powder for the child. But who knows that when the child is three years old, when the child is taken to the hospital for physical examination, he is told by the doctor that the child's daily nutrition absorption is too small, and if it goes on, the child is likely to grow tall.
Hearing the doctor's words, the whole family is very nervous, because the child eats a lot every day, and every day he will make food for the child, so why does it lead to insufficient nutrient absorption in the child? Later, under the doctor's inquiry, the cause of the child's lack of nutrition was really found. It turned out that the child was weaned at the age of one, and too early in the absence of the assistance of milk powder, the child's nutrient absorption would be insufficient. Grandma is also sorry for this situation, and she also regrets it very much, if she trusted her daughter-in-law's statement more, this situation may not have occurred.
In fact, many families are now in such a situation, always think that children can be weaned when they can eat adult meals, think that children can completely absorb nutrients from these meals, and do not need to buy additional milk powder, which can save the cost of the family. In fact, the time to wean the child is also exquisite, and parents must not blindly wean.
How old is it best for your child to drink milk powder?
On this issue, different parents will have different views, some parents will feel that their children can always drink milk powder, in fact, this still needs to depend on the age of the child. For children before the age of three, there is no harm in drinking milk powder all the time, after all, their gastrointestinal function is not so perfect at this time, if the milk powder is cut off at this time, then the child's physical development will definitely be affected by some.
When the child is three years old, we can let them supplement protein or trace elements such as iron when eating complementary foods. Of course, if the conditions at home are better, then it is completely possible for children to continue to drink milk powder, such as drinking until the age of 6 or 7, which is a better choice. Perhaps in the face of this problem, some people will express their incomprehension, because children can already eat adult meals, why should they drink milk powder? All this has to talk about the child's gastrointestinal function.
To know that the child's gastrointestinal function at this time is still relatively weak, so they can not completely obtain trace elements from food, and this time milk powder is often easier to absorb, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking more milk powder.
What kind of milk powder should my child drink? In fact, on this issue, we still have to judge this matter according to the age of the child. For example, after the child reaches a certain age, they can drink formula milk powder, and the formula milk powder is also segmented, we need to adjust according to the age of the child, so as to ensure that the child consumes more nutrition.
And the last thing that should be done at this stage is to let the child drink milk, because the child's gastrointestinal function is relatively poor, milk is no way for the child to get too much nutrition, so at this time do not rush to choose milk, as far as possible to let the child eat more milk powder is beneficial.
When can my child drink milk? , then their body structure can already withstand milk, so at this time to give children to drink some milk is a lot of benefits. Of course, this also needs to ensure a premise, that is, the child has added a lot of nutrition in daily life, because at this time milk can only be counted as an auxiliary product.
If the child's age has reached 4 years old
Don't think of milk as powerful, if milk is regarded as a product that mainly consumes nutrients, then it will certainly not help the child's development.
Therefore, for children of different ages, it is important to choose different milk powders. Of course, once the child is over two years old, we need to prepare more milk for them, and if they can maintain 500 ml of milk per day, then they will be able to absorb more protein.
At the same time, we should choose a special milk powder for the child, because the child not only needs to supplement protein in the process of growing up, but also needs a lot of trace elements.
