Many women have the problem of insufficient breast milk after giving birth to their babies, especially some mothers who give birth to twins, and they will feel distressed in the face of insufficient breast milk. However, as formula milk becomes more and more refined, whether it is nutritional composition, or proportion, etc. are very close to breast milk, so many mothers will also choose to use formula milk instead of breast milk, thus solving the problem of insufficient breast milk.
Case: Giving birth to twins, the younger brother drinks breast milk, the older brother drinks milk powder, and two years later, when he saw the gap, he suddenly realized
Friend Ms. Liu had previously given birth to twins, both of whom were boys, and like some mothers, after giving birth, Ms. Liu found that her breast milk production was insufficient and could not provide breast milk to both babies at the same time, and she also found that her brother was more receptive to formula, while her younger brother was very resistant. In addition, I heard that the formula milk on the market is now made of simulated breast milk ingredients, and there is almost no difference, which also makes Ms. Liu feel more at ease.
It is precisely because of this that Ms. Liu let her brother drink breast milk in the next few days, arranged for her brother to drink formula, and after two or three months of parenting, she did not find any difference between the two babies, so she more firmly believed that there was no difference between breast milk and formula.
In this way, Ms. Liu's two children, one drinking breast milk to drink almost two years old, the other is drinking formula milk, originally thought there was no difference, until suddenly one day, another friend went to Ms. Liu's home to visit her, when she saw Ms. Liu's two children, said, "This is the brother", in fact, at this time the friend recognized the mistake, so Ms. Liu corrected, "The other is the brother." ”
This time it was the friend's turn to be surprised, "This brother looks stronger in the past, don't you think his size will be bigger?" After being reminded by her friends, Ms. Liu found that indeed the second eldest would be stronger. Not only that, Ms. Liu also found out in the next long period of time that her brother's physique would be obviously worse, while her brother's physique would be better, and there were fewer symptoms such as colds, at which time Ms. Liu suddenly realized that it was probably because of drinking breast milk.
01 What are the advantages of breast milk compared to formula?
Although many formula milk powders on the market are now more and more refined, the nutritional components are getting closer and closer to breast milk, and even some simulated breast milk series have been launched, but in fact, compared with formula milk powder, breast milk has strong advantages, especially colostrum, which contains many antibiotics and immunoglobulins needed for newborn growth and development, which can help newborns enhance immunity and resistance and reduce the possibility of infection.
In addition, the nutritional composition of breast milk is more comprehensive, and the ratio is more healthy, which is the height that formula milk powder cannot reach, although formula milk powder has been imitated more successfully, but it will still be slightly inferior to breast milk.
In the past few years, whether it is domestic milk powder or foreign milk powder that has crossed the ocean, quality problems have been exposed, and even many babies have paid a large price for this. In stark contrast, breast milk is safer in quality, saying that breast milk is the cleanest food and recognized by the World Health Organization as the best ration for infants and young children. Although the quality supervision of milk powder is becoming more and more stringent, but especially after buying it, if the milk powder is not stored after opening, it is actually easy to deteriorate, and breast milk is drunk and produced, which is incomparable to milk powder.
In addition, breast milk is more conducive to the nutritional absorption and digestion of infants and young children, some formula milk on the market, although better nutrition, is not conducive to the baby's nutrient absorption, but may stimulate the occurrence of indigestion and other problems, and may even induce symptoms such as fire. On the other hand, some formulas may also cause symptoms of allergies in infants and young children, such as diarrhea, fever, etc., while breast milk is the most natural ration for infants and young children, and it is almost impossible to have symptoms of allergies.
Of course, breast milk is not only conducive to the growth and development of infants and young children, but also more conducive to the postpartum recovery of mothers. The UK Fertility Research Centre has previously found that breastfed and non-breastfed women have a large difference in postpartum recovery, with the former having lower rates of diseases such as ovarian cancer and breast cancer than the latter. Not only that, breastfeeding women can also promote physical recovery after childbirth and prevent symptoms such as postpartum anemia.
It is not that formula milk is useless, for mothers with insufficient breast milk, formula milk is also the best choice, but it is necessary to choose the right product, and ensure that it is suitable for the baby's stomach and stomach, as well as the habits that the baby can drink, otherwise it will also affect the baby's growth and development.
Conclusion: Whether it is breastfeeding or formula feeding, I hope that mothers will pay more attention to the baby's growth process, cooperate from many aspects to improve the baby's resistance, and escort the baby's growth.
