has now entered winter, and the temperature continues to drop. This is not only a test of the baby's health, but also increases the difficulty of parental care. I believe that many mothers will often encounter such a situation when breastfeeding in winter: here the milk powder is ready, the baby over there is not in a hurry to drink it, and it will cool down soon. Therefore, the mothers cannot avoid the need to warm the milk. This operation. However, warming milk in winter is not like usual. If you do not master the techniques of warming milk, it will affect the quality of milk. Long-term use of the wrong way to warm milk will hinder your baby's development.
4 unscientific ways of warming milk, mothers must avoid, don’t let your unintentional mistakes hurt your baby
1, the warming time is too long
the temperature in winter is relatively low, the prepared milk powder will become cold after a while, some In order to save trouble, Mommy keeps the prepared milk in warm water or a milk warmer for a long time. But in fact, if the milk powder is not consumed for a long time after being prepared, it will quickly deteriorate, which not only affects the taste and taste of the milk, but also contains bacteria. If the baby drinks such milk, the body will inevitably be eroded by bacteria and even cause corresponding discomfort symptoms.
2. Use boiling water to make milk powder
Some parents feel that in winter, the temperature is low, and the milk cools quickly. Simply use boiling water to make the milk powder so that the time can be appropriately extended. Even if the baby is not in a hurry, it will not cool down quickly. I want to drink it, the temperature just dropped, it is convenient to drink. You know, milk powder is rich in nutrients, and not all of them can withstand high temperatures. Some milk powder contains probiotics, which will be killed by boiling water to reduce the nutrient content. Babies who drink this kind of milk often do not get adequate nutrition and their development will inevitably be affected.
3. Lay the milk bottle flat
Most parents heat the milk through the bottle with warm water. It is unscientific to put the bottle sideways during the heating process. The nipple cover is not as firm as the milk bottle cap, just close the lower edge of the nipple gently, it is easy to be opened, but in winter, the temperature is lower, and the time for warming the milk is often longer than other seasons. If you put the bottle flat when warming the milk , The water from the outside of the bottle will slowly penetrate into the nipple cover and enter the milk through the milk outlet on the nipple. This will not only affect the quality of the milk, but also bring in some bacteria, so this method is also incorrect.
4, heating with a microwave oven
Although a microwave oven is a good hand for heating rice and food, warming milk is another matter. When the milk is warmed in a microwave oven, the temperature of the milk will rise rapidly, and the sudden high temperature will destroy the nutrition in the milk. Even if the temperature of the milk rises, the milk has become as nutritious as clear water. The baby drinks such milk for a long time. How can it not affect development?
The correct milk warming technique, you should master it!
Regardless of whether it is a water-independent heating method or using a milk warmer to warm the milk, pay attention to the temperature when the milk is warmed. It is best to control the temperature of the water outside the bottle at about 45 degrees. At the same time, pay attention to not repeating heating or heating for a long time. , It is best to control the heating time according to the amount of milk; do not give the baby the milk that has not been drunk for more than 3 hours, it is likely that bacteria have grown, which will affect the baby’s health; the last thing to pay attention to is the temperature of the milk. Before breastfeeding, it is best to drop the milk droplets on the inside of the wrist to feel the temperature. If it is not cold or hot, you can breastfeed.
Therefore, there are still many skills to be mastered for warming milk in winter. The correct way of warming milk is more conducive to the growth of the baby.
