Precautions for baby milk change
When the baby grows to a certain age, parents want to change the baby's brand of milk powder for the baby to try, and sometimes, there is a big trouble after changing the milk powder. The child was originally healthy, but suddenly cried and fussed, and the change of milk powder caused adverse consequences. Many parents have figured out what to pay attention to when changing milk powder for their babies?
1. Change milk in an alternate and gradual way
When your baby changes milk, the two types of milk powder are mixed together, whether it is from one brand to another, or from one stage to another (even if the brand is the same).
Add 1/3 of the new milk powder to the original milk powder, and after two or three days, if the baby has no adverse reactions, then eat 1/2 of the original and new milk powder for two or three days; Then eat 1/3 of the original milk powder and 2/3 of the new milk powder for two or three days, and finally transition to completely replacing the old milk powder with new milk powder.
Usually, diarrhea is the most uncomfortable symptom caused by milk change, but it is mostly caused by improper brewing of milk powder concentration, so you should also read the canned label carefully when changing milk.
2. Changing breast milk to formula milk powder
When your baby needs to switch from breastfeeding to formula, the test should start with 1 teaspoon of infant formula (i.e. 30cc) at a time, and if there are no adverse effects, gradually increase to full with 1 teaspoon at a time.
Infant formula milk powder is mostly based on milk, and the nutritional content is close to the design concept of breast milk formula, but the breastmilked infant formula milk powder still does not contain enzymes that can help the baby digest, so when the feeding method is changed from breast milk to infant formula, the baby can alternate breast milk and infant formula, which can alleviate the adverse reactions caused by the baby's milk change.

If it is 1 section of milk powder for 2 sections of milk powder, it is to add 1/3 of the new milk powder in the original milk powder, if the baby has no adverse reactions, the original milk powder: the ratio of new milk powder slowly becomes 5:5, and then 3:7, so that the natural adjustment step by step, the baby can be relatively easy to accept, and finally transition to completely replace the original milk powder with the new milk powder.
If breast milk is changed to 2 stages of milk powder, the milk powder is mostly based on milk, and the proportion of ingredients is adjusted to achieve "breast milk".
However, formula still does not contain enzymes that can help your baby's digestion, so when you want to switch breast milk to infant formula, you should start the test with a small spoonful of infant formula at a time. If there are no adverse reactions, you can gradually increase the full amount of one teaspoon after another, so your baby can alternate breastfeeding formula at the same time without adverse reactions.

Parents need to be extra careful. ”
