We all know that the best way for babies to feed is breastfeeding. You can also drink formula milk without breast milk, because formula milk adds various nutrients to the normal milk powder, which is close to breast milk, so as to meet the nutritional needs of babies to grow.
Recently, a mother in Henan shared a video of her mother-in-law insisting on giving her one-year-old daughter a fried flour to eat in order to save money on milk powder, which attracted the attention of many netizens online for a while.
In the video, the woman's mother-in-law is busy in the kitchen, but when the camera closes, she is not cooking, but cooking flour. The fried flour was then put into the child's milk powder jar, which was specially prepared by the woman's mother-in-law for her 1-year-old granddaughter.
According to the woman, the mother-in-law did this to save money on milk powder, and she didn't know how to persuade and stop it. She said, "People who don't make money have no say."
After reading this woman's sharing, many netizens left messages: "What children need is protein , not carbohydrates." "1-year-old children can drink milk, milk is better than flour. How can children eat it when they need nutrition?" "Isn't it said that formula milk is better nutrition? My baby's milk powder has been drunk until 3 years old."
Indeed, in the era of scarcity of materials, people cannot buy milk powder. This kind of fried flour with high quality and low price was once loved by everyone, but the times have changed. Eating too much fried flour is difficult to digest, and it cannot meet the baby's nutritional needs.
Some netizens mentioned that 1-year-old babies can drink milk, which can save some expenses compared to formula milk powder and is better nutrition than flour. Some netizens also think that baby formula milk powder needs to be drunk until three or four years old. So, how old can the baby drink milk?
Today we will talk about these issues.
How old can a baby start drinking milk?
Babies under one year old have relatively few dietary types and require comprehensive nutritional supplements. The type of fat contained in pure milk is not the best choice for babies who are growing rapidly, and they also lack sufficient nutrients such as iron and vitamins.
In addition, milk is rich in protein and minerals, which is difficult to digest and absorb for babies whose digestive system is not mature within one year of age. It not only easily causes constipation, diarrhea, allergies and other problems, but also increases the burden on the kidney organs.
Therefore, babies under one year old are not suitable for drinking pure milk, and they should still focus on breast milk or formula milk.
Is it better to drink formula or pure milk for babies after one year old?
Although babies after one year old can drink pure milk, the specific requirements for continuing to drink formula or pure milk still vary from person to person and judge according to the specific situation of the baby.
1. Babies in these situations can choose to drink pure milk
htmlbaby after 0 years of age. If the supplementary food is added better and the nutritional intake is relatively balanced, then you can choose to drink pure milk; in addition, if babies with a family with genetic obesity, you can also choose to drink milk, because the sugar and calories contained in formula milk will be relatively higher than those of pure milk.2. These babies recommend continuing to drink formula milk
. For babies who are not ideal for supplementary food addition, are picky, partial food, and other nutritional imbalances, as well as lactose intolerance and allergic to milk, it is recommended to continue to choose formula milk.
In addition, we also need to remind all parents that whether it is pure milk or formula milk, after the age of 1, milk is no longer the staple food of the baby, but is just a supporting role in the baby's daily nutrition.
Parents should usually spend more time on their baby’s three meals a day, and try to achieve the diversity of food . Balanced nutrition, rather than expecting to balance nutrition by drinking milk. Cultivating babies to develop good habits of eating from an early age is the truth of diversified and balanced nutrition!
