milk powder is an important source of nutrition for children, so parents attach great importance to the choice of milk powder. With more and more milk powder categories on the market, parents must fully understand the different milk powder categories and brands when choosing milk powder. For example, the small molecule protein milk powder that has been very popular recently, but many parents actually follow the trend and buy it without knowing it clearly. Today, I will share with you this type of milk powder.

In fact, the dairy industry does not have a clear definition of "small molecule protein milk powder". This concept and its specific meaning are basically proposed by milk powder manufacturers themselves. The "small molecules" mentioned in the commercially available "small molecules" mainly refer to α-lactoalbumin, partially hydrolyzed whey protein, partially hydrolyzed casein, whey protein , fat small molecules, medium-chain triglyceride MCT and so on.

Many parents see these ingredients and believe that small molecule protein milk powder can relieve babies' allergies. In fact, the hydrolyzed whey protein content of this type of milk powder is too small, and the main ingredient is still raw milk , which does not have much effect on "Minbao". For example, the content of hydrolyzed whey protein in section 1, 2, and 3 of Zhenaibehu is about 3%; the addition of hydrolyzed whey protein powder in every 100 grams of milk powder in section 4 of Tianshi is ≥500 mg, and there is no specific content description in sections 1-3. Moreover, the ingredients for these two milk powders are marked on the ingredient list, and the main ingredient is raw milk. "Minbao" parents must keep their eyes open and carefully identify when choosing hydrolyzed milk powder for their babies!

So, what kind of milk powder is considered a baby formula for special medical purposes? "Expert Suggestions on Scientific Purchase of Infant Formula Milk Powders" points out that the product name on the main page of the product label should be "Special Medical Purpose Baby xxx"; the product label should clearly indicate the categories and applicable populations of infant formula foods for special medical Purposes, such as part-hydrolysis formula for dairy protein (high-risk infants with milk protein allergy) and deep hydrolysis formula for dairy protein (bacterial protein allergy) and so on. You can choose according to this method!

Eating small molecule protein milk powder not only cannot help "Minbao" relieve allergies, but in fact, healthy babies cannot eat this type of milk powder for a long time. In the short term, this type of milk powder can indeed improve the baby's absorption problem, but long-term intake of hydrolyzed small molecule proteins will hinder the baby's normal growth and development. This risk hidden behind "good absorption" is worth noting.

So, which milk powder is more beneficial to healthy babies? In fact, parents just need to choose ordinary formula milk powder! Experts also recommend that normal babies drink complete protein milk powder, which is more conducive to promoting the secretion of digestive enzyme and further development and maturation of the digestive system.

To sum up, small molecule protein milk powder not only cannot alleviate "Minbao" allergies, but also is not conducive to normal baby's physical development. It is not recommended for babies to drink it for a long time. If your baby is allergic to milk protein, you need to choose the right hydrolyzed milk powder under the guidance of a doctor. If your baby is healthy, it is recommended that parents choose a regular formula milk powder among major brands such as Jinlingguan and Heshengyuan !
