Pay attention to whether there are additives such as flavors: China's laws prohibit the addition of flavors to milk powder, but in order to improve the taste of milk powder, some companies will add additives such as food flavors to milk powder, which are likely to have an impact on the baby's taste and smell development.

The first item of the ingredient list: the first item of the ingredient list is the main ingredient of the milk powder, if it is marked with raw milk, it means that the milk powder uses a wet process, that is, the nutrients required for the formula milk powder are added to the fresh milk, and then processed into milk powder in the shortest possible time, this production method ensures the balance of the nutritional composition of the milk powder, and the instant solubility of the milk powder is also good. On the contrary, if the label is not raw milk, but skimmed milk powder or whole milk powder, it means that the product adopts a dry process, that is, nutrients are directly added to the large bag of powder, and the uniformity and instant solubility of the milk powder are not good.

Attention to formula-fed babies.

Avoid high temperature: Bao's mother's body temperature is 37, which is generally a suitable condition for the existence of various nutrients in formula milk, and the baby's stomach and intestines are also easy to accept.

Avoid contamination and spoilage: Formula milk contains rich nutrients and is a good bacterial culture medium, especially the prepared milk powder cannot withstand high temperature boiling and sterilization. Therefore, we must pay attention to hygiene during the preparation process. If it is left for a long time after opening, it will cause pollution.

The growth and development of the baby is the most concerned thing for every parent, you must know that milk powder is the baby's growth partner, and it has been eaten since it was very young, so parents should pay more attention to it when choosing milk powder, according to the actual situation and quality of their baby, and come to see how to choose formula milk powder for the baby.

1. Look at the nutrients.

Why do many people recommend that babies drink breast milk, because breast milk is high in nutrients and can supplement the substances needed for the baby's growth and development. The content in some milk powder is not so high, so when choosing, you need to see whether the nutrients in the ingredients are similar to the nutrients in breast milk, and it must be close to breast milk. Like looking to see if the milk powder contains DHA and so on.

In addition, like some milk powders, there will be merchants who add flavors to enhance the taste, which is absolutely not bought.

2. Whether it is compliant.

What the baby eats can not be sloppy, especially the milk powder that is eaten every day, the safety and quality must be passed. It is necessary to see whether this milk powder is planned and produced, and now many milk powder can be scanned to view, and the whole process can be traced back to the system to better ensure quality.

3. Look at what the baby needs.

Nowadays, many people like to buy overseas, and they all know that milk powder in New Zealand and Germany is better, and many people also choose to buy milk powder abroad. Although the milk source is better, it is still necessary to choose the ingredients of milk powder, because although the foreign milk source is relatively pure, due to the different geographical location of each country, the nutrients that growing up children need are different. The ingredients of many milk powders abroad may not be enough for the development of the baby.

Therefore, in the end, the choice of milk powder for the baby still depends on the baby's own needs.

Some ingredients in milk powder are indispensable. Milk powder must contain a series of essential trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, copper, etc.; Secondly, it also needs to include various vitamins, carotene and so on; At the same time, protein and fat are also a must. Because these ingredients are important helping elements in the process of baby's growth and development, they play an important role in improving the baby's own immunity, so that the baby can get less sick and suffer less.

Therefore, parents should pay attention to these nutrients when purchasing milk powder.

Finally, it also depends on the ingredients. The combination of ingredients in formula milk powder is the most important, such as what ingredients are suitable to add, how much should be added, what is the proportion of the amount between the ingredients, etc., all need to be prepared by experts in strict accordance with the regulations, so manufacturers who specialize in preparing baby milk powder should be selected.

We all know that formula is sequentially segmented according to the baby's age. More common segments: 1 (0-6 months) (6-12 months (1-3 years).

This type of segmentation is not absolute, for example, the common segmentation of milk powder in Japan is 1 segment (0-9 months (9-24 months).

Generally speaking, the baby's milk powder is divided into stages, according to the age of the month, 0-6 months is a stage, 6-12 months is two stages, and 12-36 months is three stages.

Choose milk powder from the following aspects:

1.Choose infant milk powder owned by big brands, and there are milk powder companies with national certification or even international certification.

2.Milk powder rich in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid) can promote the development of your baby's brain and eyes.

3.The higher the nutrients in formula, the better. Only milk powder that is closer to the proportion of breast milk is more conducive to the establishment and functional maturity of the baby's gastrointestinal health microecological environment.

4.For babies with weak stomach and poor digestion and absorption, it is suitable to choose milk powder with moderate hydrolyzed protein formula, which is easier to digest. The -casein in ordinary milk powder is usually the A1 type, which will cause "lactose intolerance", causing diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms, while A2--casein milk powder will significantly improve this symptom.
