How to punch
Novice mothers should pay attention to the fact that every time they feed their babies, they must be flushed. It is important to be sure to have an accurate ratio of formula to water. If the milk is too thick, your baby will not only feel thirsty, but also dehydrated. If the milk is too thin, the baby will be hungry after drinking. Therefore, the ratio of formula milk powder to water must be accurate.
1. Bring the newly connected tap water to a boil and let it dry for a while to cool it slightly. The ideal water temperature should not be less than 70 ° C, which means that the boiling water should not be left at room temperature for more than half an hour.
2. Read the instructions on the formula package to see how much water and a few spoonfuls of milk powder need to be poured into it.
3. Pour the required amount of water into the bottle, here you must pay attention to the first pour water and then pour milk powder, otherwise, can not ensure that the ratio of milk powder to water is accurate.
3. Use the measuring spoon that came with the milk powder and follow the instructions on the milk powder package to scoop out the desired amount of milk powder and pour it into the bottle. After use, the measuring spoon should be isolated from the milk powder and should not be exposed to the milk powder. Current formulas place a measuring spoon on the inside of the lid.
4. Cover the nipple and shake it gently a few times so that the milk powder is fully integrated with the water. At the same time, you can feel the temperature of the milk on the inside of your wrist, and the temperature can be warm.
Amount and number of feedings
For most babies, in the first month of life, it is enough to eat 90 ml to 120 ml of formula each time. The amount of milk per milk increases with the increase of age, with an average increase of about 30 ml per month until the milk volume reaches 210 ml to 240 ml per milk.
For babies who are healthy and in good growth and development, they are usually fed 6 to 8 times a day at 1 month of age, and about 4 to 5 times a day when the baby is 6 months old. However, this is the calculated average number of times. In reality, feeding can be gradually reduced as your baby grows older.
When the baby reaches the age of 6 to 12 months, he has begun to eat complementary foods. Since each baby eats a different amount of complementary food, the number of feedings will also vary. However, by the time the baby reaches this age, parents are already familiar with it, so the number of feedings can be determined according to the baby's situation.
After the baby reaches the age of 1, it can be supplemented by complementary food and milk. At this time, the form of milk can also become very rich. For example, formula, yogurt, milk, cheese and so on.
Here to remind parents to pay attention to is that 1 to 3 years old baby, drink milk at 360 ~ 480 ml per day, at most not more than 500 ml.
Cleaning and disinfection of milk utensils
Moms and Dads should pay attention to the fact that all bottles, nipples and other utensils used to prepare milk powder should be cleaned and disinfected.
1. After the use of milk utensils, it is necessary to clean and disinfect in time, the bottle and nipple should be cleaned with special milk cleaner, and the bottle and nipple should be washed with a bottle brush inside and outside. Then wash it again with clean water. Do not leave milk stains, but also pay attention to whether the nipple is blocked, if there is a time to clean up, to ensure that the nipple hole is unobstructed.
2. Steaming and disinfection
If you are a new mother, it is recommended to buy a steam sterilizer, you can also buy a timed sterilizer that automatically cuts off the power, which will be very convenient when sterilizing the milk utensils. It is also possible to buy a large pot and steam it in the pot. It should be noted that this pot can only be used for the baby's sterile milk utensils, and cannot be used for other purposes.
Step 1: Pour water into the pot;
Step 2: Put the cleaned milk utensils and mixing tools into the water to ensure that the utensils are completely submerged in the water and there are no bubbles inside;
Step 3: Cover the pot, cook until the water boils, boil on high heat and then cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, at this time the task of cooking and disinfection has been basically completed;
Step 4: Clip out the detoxified milk utensils with clips and stand upside down on the milk utensil rack for next use. This prevents airborne bacteria from entering your baby's bottle. If the sterilized bottle is directly exposed to the air, it is equivalent to white disinfection.
There are many kinds of milk utensils on the market, and it is best for mothers to give priority to glassy milk utensils in the choice of milk utensils. Because the glass-textured milk utensils will not produce harmful substances due to repeated cooking, and the plastic bottle will be harmful to the baby after repeated cooking.
In addition, you can prepare a few more bottles and use them instead. After each baby drinks milk, after the bottle is fully cleaned, it is directly placed in boiling water, and it is taken out for backup after 3 minutes, and then the poison is eliminated again that night.
