Having a chubby baby is the dream of all mothers, but the baby's weight is really over the standard, and the first person to be anxious is the mother:
"My baby is a little overweight, is it not the right milk powder?" I heard that skimmed milk powder does not contain fat, can you change to skimmed milk powder to drink? ”
Is skimmed milk powder really a "slimming artifact" for babies? Today, I would like to share with you the knowledge of [skimmed milk powder].
Skimmed milk powder is less nutritious
As the name suggests, skimmed milk powder is milk powder that removes fat, so the biggest difference between the two is the fat content compared to whole milk powder. Whole milk powder contains about 30% animal fat, and skimmed milk powder is not completely fat-free, but the fat content is usually less than 2%.
Do not underestimate the role of fat, because vitamins A, D, E, K are fat-soluble substances, are hidden in milk fat, and the skimmed milk powder that removes most of the fat components also removes these essential vitamins. Therefore, if infants and young children replace whole milk powder with skimmed milk powder for a long time, it is very easy to lead to insufficient intake of fat-soluble vitamins, which seriously affects the growth and development of babies.
Not only is the fat content very small, the protein and carbohydrate content in some skimmed milk powder is only 1/3 of the whole milk powder, the trace element content is also less, and the overall nutritional value is much different from the whole milk powder, so it is not suitable for infants and young children to eat for a long time.
Skimmed milk powder it is not fragrant
In fact, in addition to insufficient nutrition, skimmed milk powder also has a very "realistic" disadvantage - not fragrant!
The reason why the milk we drink has a strong milk flavor is the role of the degradation products of the three major types of substances of protein, fat and lactose, or the interaction between the derivatives of each class of substances. The skimmed milk powder removes the fat, so that the "factory" that makes the milk flavor less than a key part, and the taste and taste of the milk powder will inevitably be greatly reduced.
This explains why some babies who drink skimmed milk powder always seem to have no appetite, because the faint skimmed milk powder is really not good to drink!
Although it is less nutritious and the taste is not good, some people have to drink skimmed milk powder.
So, which groups of people is skimmed milk powder suitable for?
Skimmed milk powder is suitable for people who cannot consume too much fat due to physical reasons and need to supplement nutrition, such as the elderly with chronic diseases, patients with gallbladder disease, hyperlipidemia, chronic pancreatitis and other diseases.
For infants and young children, skimmed milk powder is suitable for infants with indigestion, as well as overweight and obese babies aged 2-3 years, who eat skimmed milk powder to reduce fat intake while ensuring some nutrition.
Most of the skimmed infant formulas sold on the market today will add low vegetable fats and other trace elements such as milk fat in order to make up for the lack of fat in skimmed milk powder, but this is simply not comparable to the comprehensive nutrition in whole milk powder. Therefore, hospital nutrition physicians recommend that babies under 3 years old are not special obese, it is best to drink whole milk powder to ensure a reasonable supply of fat and fat-soluble nutrients.
It can be seen that skimmed milk powder is not suitable for all babies, if the baby is only slightly fat, there is no need to replace the skimmed milk powder, adjust the feeding amount of whole milk powder.
