There is a saying on the Internet that the imported three-stage and four-stage milk powder is only developed for Chinese babies, and children in Western developed countries do not drink these at all.
In fact, as long as you often watch Western movies and TV series, you can know that this statement is true, and children in Western countries are more inclined to drink fresh milk.
However, Western countries have produced a large amount of milk powder, so it can be seen that it is indeed sold to our country.
Living conditions are good, a few hundred yuan a can of toddler milk powder, for many families is not nothing, there are some families with limited economic conditions, the whole family saves money, but also to give children to drink milk powder, afraid of losing children.
But is the third and fourth stage milk powder really necessary for children?
Let's first take a look at what professional organizations have to say:
The European Food Safety Authority pointed out that the "growth formula" of young children, which is what we often call 3-stage milk powder, simply does not bring additional value to the daily balanced diet of 1-3-year-old children, and it is not more effective than other foods in terms of nutrition for children.
Australian imported milk powder, which is very popular with mothers, is not very popular in Australia, and the Australian Ministry of Health mentioned that infant formula is fed instead of breast milk until the age of 1, and healthy babies no longer need special infant milk powder.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has also given a corresponding recommendation: 1-year-old babies can drink whole milk or 2% low-fat milk. It is also mentioned in the child's daily meal recommendations that are also whole milk or 2% low-fat milk, not infant formula.
It is misleading for children to drink formula until they are 7 years old
Western countries more advocate that babies after the age of 1 drink whole milk, but in our country, children basically drink milk powder until the age of 3, and many children drink milk powder until they are 7 years old.
The reason why mothers choose to let their children drink milk powder all the time is largely influenced by the staff of the mother and baby store.
The last time I went to the mother and baby store, the mother and baby store clerk recommended milk powder with me, I said that the baby does not drink milk powder, she opened her eyes and mouth at the same time to express incredible, and stood in the perspective of a professional person to say to me: No, my baby is 7 years old and still drinking milk powder, the child does not drink milk powder development can not keep up, milk powder contains a lot of nutrients, the child's brain development and physical development are good...
This is actually determined by the direct interest relationship, the children drink milk powder, the mother and baby shop is profitable, if the children do not drink milk powder, who will these milk powders sell to?
To know that young children's milk powder is often more than three hundred cans, if children like to drink milk powder, basically half a month can drink a can.
My baby will not drink milk powder after 3 years old, there are still four cans at home that have not been opened, and one can has been opened, and she has not drunk much, because the taste is too sweet, she herself does not like.
There are many babies in the community who start drinking milk after the age of 1, and they are very strong, medium in size, and well developed.
Guiding your child to drink pure milk, or fresh milk, may be better.
When your child drinks pure milk and fresh milk depends on your child's situation
If your child refuses to drink milk or fresh milk, formula is the only option.
But if the child drinks milk or fresh milk, absorbs well, develops quickly, it means that the child can completely quit the milk powder, after the child is 1 year old, milk powder is not necessary, this parents should know.
It is more important for children to eat after the age of 1
The baby can only drink breast milk or milk powder before half a year old, and the nutrition of breast milk or milk powder can fully support the growth and development of the baby.
After the child is half a year old, add complementary foods to the child, if the child is deficient in iron, the baby will add complementary foods after 5 months.
It is not that breast milk has no nutrition, but that the child has gradually grown up, the demand for nutrition has increased, and the nutrition of milk powder or breast milk has been unable to supply the child's physical development needs.
After the child is 1 year old, the diet is gradually close to the adult diet, the nutritional demand is higher, the child at this stage, the daily activity increases, the amount of mental activity also increases, and a large amount of nutrient supply is needed every day.
Children's demand for various nutrients in food increases, and three meals a day become the main source of nutrition for children's physical development.
However, because the child's physical development is at a peak, a large amount of calcium intake is required every day, and the best way to supplement calcium is to supplement food, which can make children eat more shrimp skin, drink more milk, and eat more foods with high calcium content.
If the child does not reject the milk, after drinking the milk to absorb very little, parents can decisively give the child to quit the milk powder, let the child drink milk in the morning and evening.
If the child cannot accept milk temporarily, then you can continue to let the child drink milk powder, and then give the child to quit milk powder after the child is 2 years old or after the age of 3.
Many children are acceptable to milk, but the concept of adults is affected, that milk powder is necessary, here and parents to emphasize, milk powder is not necessary, but the child's growth process, milk is very necessary, insist on drinking milk is good for the child's physical development and brain development.
