When the baby reaches the age of 1, he can try pure milk and no longer need to soak milk powder every day, and the mothers are really liberated.
I thought it was not pure milk, and there was nothing to pick. But I didn't expect to just rush to the shelf of milk, dumbfounded, so many kinds of milk, which is suitable for babies to drink!
In order not to let the mothers be so entangled, today the cake mother will take everyone to take care of the various "milks" in the supermarket.
This is not good milk
Don't pick it!
Before talking about real milk, we must first talk about the fake milk that confuses thousands of parents. Minefields must be avoided.
For example, some milk drinks, the first place in the ingredient list is water, even the threshold of milk is not entered, can only be classified into the category of drinks, proper fake milk. There is no protein, no calcium, and a lot of sugar. No nutrition and waste of money, really not recommended to drink.
(▲Ingredient list of a milk-containing beverage)
In addition, there are some breakfast milk, walnut milk, red date milk, children's milk and the like, although the first place in the ingredient list may be cow's milk/raw milk, but in order to increase the taste, too much flavor and sugar are added, and it is not a good choice.
There is not a lot of protein and calcium, and there are no real walnuts and dates, can not be crossed, bad heart. Eating too much is easy to get fat, but also the baby's taste is raised.
Really pure milk
Buddhist choice, don't get tangled!
So what is real pure milk? As the name suggests, the ingredient list is really just milk, there are no other messy additives, and there is nothing to think about.
Oh, how simple and crude this ingredient looks.
So, look for the ingredients written and only raw milk can be, and the nutritional composition table, the protein content must be greater than 2.9g / 100g.
As for the brand, don't bother too much, you can buy the brand that is well-known (the domestic ones that everyone understands), and the quality is more reassuring.
If you have to choose which is better in a pile of pure milk, it is better to send you two words - Buddhism.
Is it better to have high calcium milk and fortified milk?
Look at it rationally
Now there are a lot of milk that looks very advanced, such as a variety of nutrient-fortified milk: high calcium milk, fortified vitamin a, vitamin d...
These milks can not be said to be pure milk in the full sense, can not say that they are not good, or depends on the specific enhancement of what nutrients, and whether there is a mess of additions.
Another important point is that mothers consider whether the price is reasonable before buying these "high-end milk".
For example, the calcium content of "high calcium milk" is indeed higher than that of ordinary milk, but for babies whose gastrointestinal digestion ability is not perfect, the added calcium may not be better digested and absorbed than milk calcium. In other words, you may spend more tickets to buy high-calcium milk, but in fact the calcium supplement effect will not be much better than ordinary milk.
What about the milk that strengthens Viva? If the baby usually eats rich vitamin foods, such as eggs, animal liver, carrots, cantaloupes, pumpkins, spinach, broccoli and other dark and orange-red fruits and vegetables, there is no need to drink milk with vitamins added.
In addition to the above two, we often get some high-end milk that sells quite expensive, each with its own selling points, and the merchant wants us to recommend it to mothers, but we have rejected it, because there is no need, drinking ordinary milk plus a reasonable diet is completely OK.
However, there is one milk that we still recommend, which reinforces The Ved. Vid is difficult to obtain in food, and the baby originally needs to be replenished every day, so it is still good to drink a little milk with Vid (many foreign milks are fortified with Vid).
Pure milk can be stored for a long time, is it added preservatives?
The sterilization method is different!
Some of the milk sold in supermarkets is refrigerated in a freezer and can only be left for a few days. Some are placed on the normal temperature shelves, and can be put for several months. The shelf life is long and short, and the mother is confused, and even thinks that it can be stored for such a long time, and the preservatives are properly added.
Our silly white sweet milk can not carry the pot, where the preservatives come from, but it uses a different way of sterilization!
Pasteurization: Heat at about 60 °C for about 30 minutes, or about 80 °C for about half a minute (this is more common). The shelf life of the treated milk in this way is relatively short, it can only be stored for a week, and it must be refrigerated.
Ultra-high temperature sterilization (uht): 130-150 °C ultra-high temperature processing milk for a few seconds. This method is thoroughly sterilized and can be stored for several months or even more than a year.
Milk after disinfection, sterilization, hygiene can already be guaranteed, and then add preservatives is only in vain to increase the cost, the business is not stupid!
In addition, the nagging cake mother again warmly reminds a mouth, milk must be sterilized by high temperature to eat, raw milk directly from the cow, can not be casually given to the baby to drink Oh.
You also want to know about milk
1. Is it better to keep fresh milk refrigerated than room temperature milk?
Most mothers think that refrigerated fresh milk is better than room temperature milk, but in fact, in addition to the different sterilization methods, the nutritional difference between the two will not be very large, and each has its own benefits. Refrigerated milk is relatively fresher, but the temperature requirements for storage are very high, and the storage time is relatively short, if you need to go out, it must be more appropriate to choose room temperature milk. Moms pick and choose according to their own situation.
2. Buy full milk or skim milk for your baby?
Some milk packages will indicate whether it is skim milk or full milk, which is more suitable for your baby?
The taste and flavor of full milk is better, the baby may be more willing to drink full fat, and the first two years are the key period of the baby's brain development, and a certain amount of good fat needs to be consumed.
In fact, unless the baby is already on the road of being overweight or even obese, it is recommended to continue to drink full milk after the age of 2.
3. Can I drink milk by heat? Do you have to heat up in supplementary foods, will there be a loss of nutrition?
Heating does cause the loss of water-soluble vitamins in milk, such as vitamin c and vitamin b. Fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin a, vitamin e) and various minerals are not lost much.
Moreover, when we drink milk, the main thing we get is—
Protein + calcium
Heating has little effect on these two main nutrients.
Taking 10,000 steps back, the vitamin content of milk itself is not high. Vitamin c and vitamin b can be obtained in minutes from other foods, such as grains, fruits and vegetables, and meat.
4. Is it okay to drink milk on an empty stomach?
Some people say that drinking milk on an empty stomach can cause stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea, which is generally present in people with lactose intolerance. For babies, they drink breast milk or milk powder on an empty stomach from a young age, is it not okay to drink milk on an empty stomach?
Of course, if some babies do have lactose intolerance, you can put some other foods first, and drink a small amount of milk many times. In addition, drinking milk on an empty stomach does not waste the protein value of milk, and the body will give priority to using lactose and fat to produce energy, rather than protein.
Huh~ finally finished talking, the next time the mothers visit the supermarket, if they are still struggling with how to choose milk, we are really going to cry and faint in the toilet.
