Introduction: During the growth and development process of a newborn baby, it is inseparable from the careful care of the parents, and the most critical point is the feeding of the baby. Only if the baby's diet and feeding are correct and scientific can the baby have a normal growth and development state. For parents, the baby's feeding is also the most difficult thing to grasp.
Many times, parents may overfeed or underfeed when feeding, which will affect the baby's physical development and cause many adverse developmental problems. After a baby reaches three months, his physical development will enter a new stage. At this time, how should parents feed the baby?
Here, we must first be clear about the choice of baby feeding method. Only by choosing the right feeding method can we ensure that the baby has adequate daily dietary intake. Under normal circumstances, feeding methods are mainly divided into three types: exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and exclusive formula feeding. mothers need to choose based on the actual situation of themselves and their babies.
Generally speaking, if the secretion of breast milk is sufficient and can fully meet the baby's daily needs, you can choose pure breast milk feeding. It is low-cost and is the best and safest ration for the baby to absorb. Secondly, if the amount of breast milk secretion is insufficient, you need to consider whether to add formula milk for mixed feeding. Finally, in , if the amount of breast milk is insufficient, in , you need to consider feeding with milk powder.
Different feeding methods have different choices, and the issues that need to be paid attention to are also different:
1, exclusive breastfeeding
The diet of a three-month-old baby has not been completely fixed, so the mother has to pay attention to breastfeeding. It is still necessary to adhere to the principle of "feeding on demand", means feeding the baby when he wants to drink milk, so as to meet the baby's eating needs in a timely manner. But the stomach volume of a three-month-old baby has changed a lot, and the time interval can usually last about 3 hours.
Here, the mother needs to know clearly her baby's food intake and digestion situation during the feeding process. does not need to be too tight in time intervals, and can make some adjustments appropriately. In addition, for mothers who exclusively breastfeed, in order to ensure the quality of breast milk, they still need to pay attention to their daily diet. Avoid spicy and greasy foods to ensure nutritional intake.
2. Mixed feeding
Mixed feeding is actually a combination of breast milk and formula milk feeding. Generally, formula milk is mainly used to meet the shortage of breast milk. is an auxiliary position for the baby's diet. In the feeding process, how to combine breast milk and milk powder? There are two situations here:
First, during a single feeding, you can let the baby eat breast milk first. When the breast milk is not enough, add some formula milk in an appropriate amount to make the baby full, or both. Reverse the order; second, alternate feeding with one meal of breast milk and one meal of formula milk. In , the interval between breast milk and formula milk can be shorter, while the interval between breast milk and formula milk can be longer.
3. Pure formula feeding
Some mothers’ breast milk secretion is completely unable to meet the baby’s daily needs. At this time, formula feeding becomes the main method. For a three-month-old baby, formula milk Feeding will be much easier to operate than breast milk or mixed feeding, , but the key is to control the amount and frequency of feeding, and at the same time, you need to choose milk powder suitable for the age of the baby.
A three-month-old baby will actually prefer a regular and quantitative feeding method when it comes to formula feeding. In terms of the baby's food intake needs, the total daily intake is between 720ml~750ml, which can be divided into Feed for 5 to 6 meals. The time interval between each meal of can be more than 4 hours, and the maximum milk volume in a day should not exceed 1000ml.
Important note: There are three main types of baby feeding: exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and pure formula feeding. Different feeding methods require different issues to pay attention to.
