Breastfeeding babies are smarter!

For babies, breastfeeding is definitely the best way. While meeting the nutritional needs of the baby, it can also enhance the baby's resistance. Studies have found that breastfeeding is also conducive to improving children's intelligence level.

On the other hand, breastfeeding is also good for mothers. It is not only conducive to postpartum recovery, but also reduces the risk of breast and cervical cancer in the future.

Baby is the best milk artifact

Many Baoma always expressed doubt about her milk volume and worried that she would not feed the baby. In fact, as long as the following points are done, most mothers can achieve pure breastfeeding.

Open milk as soon as possible. If the child is born within 30 minutes, let the baby suck breast milk. This is the first step to help the mother's milk.

Babies are the best milk artifacts. At the same time, within a few hours after birth, do not easily feed milk powder or sugar water without special cases, otherwise it will affect breastfeeding.

Family people should encourage more breast milk mothers and help mothers build enough confidence.

For the breast -feeding mothers, how much milk can not directly measure the baby's drinking. In this case, how to judge whether the baby is full? First of all, observing the mental state of the baby, full of fullness and sense of satisfaction; second, 6-8 wet diapers should be used every day, light urine color or close to colorless; more, regularly help help regularly The baby measures height and weight to see if it is within the normal growth range.

Although breast milk is the most recommended method of feeding, for mothers with lack of breast milk, don't be too tangled. You should also add infant formula milk powder to ensure the normal growth and development of your child.

Timed feeding or on -demand feeding? Whether it is breastfeeding, artificial feeding, or mixed feeding babies, it is recommended to feed on demand within three months. Note that this "need" refers to the needs of the baby. As long as the baby sends a hunger signal, no matter how long the interval between the previous meal, parents should breastfeed in time.

With the increase of the monthly age, the baby's eating volume will gradually increase each time, and the time interval of feeding will naturally slow down. After 3 months, the baby can change from required feeding to feeding on time, and establish regular eating and schedules.

Babies do not need extra calcium supplement!

Whether it is breast milk or infant formula milk powder, the content of calcium is stable. As long as the amount of milk intake is sufficient, the baby can get enough calcium. Then there is a baby's calcium deficiency, the main reason is that the lack of vitamin D. Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium and also have the function of regulating immunity. It is recommended that infants and young children start to supplement vitamin D after birth. The daily intake should reach 400IU. Wait.

What to eat for the baby's first supplementary food?

For breastfeeding babies, the iron reserves in the body can meet the needs within 6 months. After 6 months, we need to obtain rich iron from the food, otherwise it may cause iron deficiency anemia. Whether it is breastfeeding or artificial feeding, the baby's initial supplementary food is recommended, including iron -rich foods, including meat puree, liver puree, fish puree, and some iron -enhanced grains, such as strengthening iron rice noodles. This type of food should be the first part of the baby's supplementary food.

The first supplementary food can be tried to strengthen the iron grain or meat. Many parents are worried that the baby is so small and can you open up? In fact, as long as the production is made, the baby can digest and absorb it.

It should be reminded that when making supplementary food for babies under 1 year old, do not add additional salt. Babies can get enough sodium from natural food to meet growth and development.

Fruit cannot replace vegetables!

Some children do not like to eat vegetables, but they love sweet fruits. Can eating more fruits replace vegetables? Although there are similar ingredients in fruits and vegetables, there are still many nutrients that are different. Fruits contain more vitamins C, potassium, magnesium, etc., while green leafy vegetables contain more calcium and cellulose, which cannot be replaced by each other.

Drink soup is better to eat meat!

A pot of soup was cooked for a few hours, and it was fresh and thick. I felt that every drop was essence. Is this really the case? In fact, the nutritional density of the soup is very low, most of which are moisture. More nutrients still exist in the meat. So than drinking soup, I hope that children can eat more meat in moderation, especially those who are thinner. Don't drink too much soup.
