Xiao Xiao is a working mother, she herself only took maternity leave when she was 39 weeks pregnant, but the company's maternity leave was only 5 months, so she had to prepare to return to work at the company from more than 4 months of the child.
Xiao Xiao belongs to the management in the company, the work pressure is relatively large, and she also has to travel from time to time, so Xiao Xiao plans to wean the child's breast milk and directly transfer the milk powder.
One
Say do it, Xiao Xiao bought milk powder for the child to come back, and then at noon every day to the child to transfer a meal, others said that the child drinks breast milk is not willing to drink milk powder, but Xiao Xiao's son is still very good, willing to drink milk powder is also willing to drink breast milk.
But on the 3rd day, after starting to add two meals of milk powder, Xiao Xiao found that the child's stool had become very hard, and she cried every morning when she defecated.
Now I have to stop the milk powder for the child, drink all the breast milk, the child's stool has become smooth again, but Xiao Xiao is very anxious, there are still half a month or so to go to work, the child drinks milk powder constipation, what to do?
Two
Later, Xiao Xiao consulted Jing Ma in the background of Jing Ma, and Jing Ma asked Xiao Xiao to send me the ingredient list and nutrition ingredient list of milk powder, and also understood how the child drank milk powder? The daily routine of life.
So I told Xiao Xiao that you mainly did two things wrong.
One is that the milk powder for the child is wrong.
To make milk powder for children, you should put water and then put milk powder first, and if you put it backwards, it will cause the milk powder to be easy to clump when it is mixed.
The most important thing is that the water will be less, and the less water will naturally stimulate the child's intestines, so the child is prone to constipation.
The second is that the milk powder you buy has less dietary fiber, does not contain probiotics, and has a weak ability to regulate the child's intestines.
Three
My advice to Xiao Xiao is that when brewing milk powder, you must first put water and then put milk, and it is slowly put down the milk powder, so that the milk powder can be mixed more evenly.
The second is to give the child a little probiotic supplement, usually put the child on the stomach, help massage the child's intestines.
Xiao Xiao did it according to my words, and the result was told to me on the 3rd day that the child had mixed milk powder according to my method these two days and supplemented with probiotics, often lying on the ground for the child, and sure enough, there was no constipation, and the stool was more formed than when drinking breast milk.
Xiao Xiao was also very happy, so she was assured and bold to wean the child's breast milk, and the milk powder was turned for more than a week, the child could completely drink the milk powder, and Xiao Xiao could also go to work with peace of mind.
The child drinks breast milk well, drinking milk powder is constipated, the mother should figure out the reasons and think of countermeasures
One of the reasons: less moisture
Babies do not need to drink water when drinking breast milk, because the nutrition of breast milk is well digested and absorbed, and more than 88% of breast milk is water, and children generally do not thirst when drinking breast milk.
However, it is necessary to add additional water to the child's milk powder, because the amount of nutrients added to the milk powder is slightly higher than that of breast milk, mainly because the child's digestion and absorption rate of milk powder is relatively low.
And indigestible food residue needs more water to stimulate it to excrete the body, at this time we give the child to drink milk powder or drink a little extra water, in order to prevent the child drinking milk powder constipation.
There is also a time when making milk powder for children, we must pay attention to the first water and then put milk, such a sequence is accurate.
The second reason: the probiotic dietary fiber in milk powder is insufficient
The dietary fiber in milk powder is mainly prebiotics, while the probiotics are mainly bifidobacterium or lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Mother's breast milk is rich in probiotics, and nutrients are also relatively easy to digest and absorb, breast milk also contains water-soluble fiber, fat is also low, if the milk powder purchased for the child does not have these ingredients, the child is prone to constipation.
Therefore, when the mother converts the child from breast milk to milk powder, it is recommended that the child can buy milk powder containing probiotics, or additional probiotics for the child, which is more conducive to preventing the child's constipation.
Reason three: milk protein intolerance
Some children have constipation or diarrhea because of an allergy or intolerance to cow's milk protein.
Your child has a cow's milk protein intolerance, not only constipation or diarrhea, but also eczema on the skin, and the child does not gain weight.
If it is found that the child does not gain weight when drinking milk, it is recommended that the child can be taken to the hospital for allergen testing, and once the milk protein allergy occurs, it may be necessary to give the child to drink hydrolyzed protein milk powder.
If the child can, it is best to exclusively breastfeed the child for one and a half years or two years old, and then give the child pure milk or yogurt through natural de-milking.
If there is no way to give your child milk powder, then you should slowly transfer milk, as far as possible to choose the right milk powder for your child, to avoid your child drinking milk powder and other uncomfortable symptoms such as constipation or diarrhea.
