[Easter eggs at the end of the article]
Recently, a news about the use of vegetable water to flush milk leading to infant poisoning was on the hot search. It was reported that the family members felt that drinking milk powder would “get angry”, so they used vegetable water to make milk for the baby. As a result, the skin turned purple and was immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Many people don't understand, just because they drank milk powder made with vegetable juice, they need to be rescued. Is this true? Below we will conduct a scientific analysis and explain some of our usual misunderstandings about milk powder.
Why is vegetable milk powder poisoned?
Some plants we usually use contain nitrate or nitrite, especially leafy vegetables or root vegetables, such as: green cabbage, spinach, Chinese cabbage, leeks, cabbage, Lettuce, etc., if these foods are left for too long after being cooked or pickled, the nitrate in them will be reduced to nitrite under the action of nitrate reducing bacteria, then will appear after being eaten. Salt poisoning .
The iron in hemoglobin in the human body is divalent iron, which has the function of carrying and releasing oxygen. Ingestion of excessive nitrite will oxidize the divalent iron of hemoglobin to trivalent iron, which does not carry oxygen. Ability, so there will be hypoxia of the body tissues. In mild cases, bruising of the skin and mucous membranes will appear, with obvious lips, mouth, and nail beds. In severe cases, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and even coma and respiratory failure will occur. life threatening.
Then some people will say, why I drink vegetable juice or vegetable water and it's okay, but babies can't? This is because the baby is young and has poor self-regulation ability, which leads to a low dose of poisoning. Secondly, the pH value of the baby’s stomach is relatively high.It is easy to cause bacteria to proliferate and will convert more nitrate into nitrite. Therefore, babies have a higher chance of being recruited, especially babies aged 0-6 months.
The thicker the milk powder, the more nutritious it is?
Some parents believe that the thicker the milk powder is, the more nutritious it is and the more effective it is to resist hunger. This statement is incorrect. If the milk powder is too thick, it will cause excessive nutrients to enter the intestines, which will increase the burden on the baby’s intestines, and may also cause damage to the intestinal mucosa. If the milk powder is too thin, it will lead to reduced nutrients, and long-term use will Cause the baby to be malnourished.
In addition, too high or too low concentration will also affect the osmotic pressure of milk powder, which may also affect the baby's intestines. Each formula milk has a special introduction on the preparation of milk powder in the instructions for use. We must follow the instructions to prepare the milk. This is the best milk powder concentration.
Is it healthier to make milk powder with mineral water?
Mineral water contains more mineral salts and trace elements. Some parents think that mineral water is more nutritious and healthier than ordinary water, so they will use mineral water to make milk powder, which is not advisable.
The minerals rich in mineral water are good for adults, but for babies, they may be a bit "extremely hard". Excessive minerals may increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and affect health . In fact, it is a good choice to let the tap water boil and let it dry to the right temperature.
Boiled water will make milk powder dissolve better?
Wrong! The preparation temperature of milk powder is required. We know that there are many beneficial ingredients added to formula milk. Too high temperature may reduce the nutritional content of milk powder, such as vitamin C, folic acid, thiamine, pantothenic acid, etc. ,It may be destroyed by high temperature, and it may also affect some amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and other active ingredients. Therefore, formulating milk powder must be carried out in accordance with the instructions for use of milk powder.
The pre-filled milk powder will be re-boiled when it is cold, right?
Milk powder is ready to use, which is the most reasonable. If the prepared milk powder is left for too long, it is easy to breed bacteria and cause the milk powder to deteriorate. If it is boiled again, just like our previous question, the nutrients of milk powder will also be destroyed, affecting its nutritional value. Therefore, milk powder is better to be used and brewed .
Should I put milk powder or water first when making milk powder?
Of course, the water is released first. The first is to better control the water temperature. It can be adjusted at any time if it is too cold or overheated to ensure that the water temperature is appropriate. The second is to accurately control the concentration of the milk powder to avoid too thick or too weak. If you put the milk powder first, then Adding water to the required scale may cause the milk powder to be too thick. So, remember to put water first when making milk powder!
Shaking the bottle vigorously after washing the milk will help dissolve the milk powder?
The current solubility of milk powder is very good. Generally, the milk powder can be dissolved well by gently shaking the bottle from left to right or rubbing the bottle with both hands. If the bottle is shaken vigorously, a lot of bubbles and foam will be produced. If the baby drinks Too many bubbles and foam, can easily cause spitting up or flatulence.
If you are afraid that your baby will have problems with one kind of milk powder, you will often change the milk powder?
Reports about milk powder problems occur from time to time. Every time a milk powder problem affects every parent's heart, some parents often change the milk powder.Thinking that this will reduce the probability of problems, this approach is actually unnecessary. There are some differences in the ingredients and taste of formula milk powder from different manufacturers. Frequent replacement may cause the baby's maladjustment and even indigestion. As long as the baby eats well and grows well, he doesn't have to change frequently.
How to choose the right milk powder?
First of all, please remember one sentence: breast milk is the best food for babies, formula milk is just a helpless choice. So you need to choose formula milk, what kind of milk powder is suitable?
First of all, buy milk powder from a formal way to ensure the safety of milk powder;
Second, choose the right brand. Generally, the quality of milk powder of large brands is more guaranteed;
Third, according to the needs of the baby , Generally choose milk-based formula, if the baby is born prematurely, you can choose premature infant formula, if the baby has lactose intolerance, then you can choose lactose-free milk powder and so on.
In general, it is one sentence: fits the best. As long as the baby eats well, sleeps well, grows well, and has good bowel movements, then this milk powder is suitable.
