A careless act of mother will turn 'leftover milk' into 'poisonous milk'. Let's see if you have been tricked
When the baby drinks milk powder, there will always be some left over. The mother sees that the milk is about to be drunk, and the baby just refuses to eat. At this time, the way the mother handles the leftover milk will directly affect the health of the child!
Some mothers may think that it’s a waste to throw away the leftover milk, and it’s okay to keep it for the baby to drink tomorrow. The baby will be hungry at any time, so they will choose to save it for the baby’s next meal.
In fact, this kind of leftover milk is easy to go bad in any environment, no matter how cold the weather is, no matter how good the storage environment is. Because the nutrients contained in milk are very rich, once the milk is in contact with the air for a long time, bacteria will multiply in it. So we often see the milk powder package in the supermarket saying "drink within 2 hours after brewing". In fact, in the case of very hot weather, this time does not take two hours at all, this is just a theoretical value.
Babies who drink this kind of milk are prone to diarrhea.
Some mothers think that the new milk powder can be added to the remaining milk and brewed together, so that the baby can still absorb nutrition from it. After all, there is not much milk left, and it will be diluted after brewing.
However, such thinking is nothing but self-deception. Imagine, if leftover milk contains a small amount of bacteria, wouldn't these bacteria be artificially spread after brewing? Therefore, after brewing with new milk powder, the new milk will still be "contaminated".
Babies who drink this kind of milk will also be prone to diarrhea.
Some mothers will say, since it cannot be placed in the air, then I will put it in the refrigerator, and when the baby wants to drink, take it out and heat it, so that the baby will not have diarrhea.
There are still many risks in doing so, because mothers cannot guarantee that there will be no food and other items that can contaminate milk in the space in the refrigerator. Because there are a lot of food stored in the refrigerator, if the small space of this closed environment is not hygienic enough, there is no difference between putting milk in the refrigerator and putting it in the air.
Heating the milk will destroy the amino acids and proteins in the milk, which is why the milk packaging will clearly indicate that the brewing temperature should not be too high. High temperature denatures the protein, so that even if the bacteria are killed, the baby cannot get nutrients from it.
All in all, if mothers want to store formula milk powder and want to ensure the health of their babies, they must pay attention to the way of storing milk powder and follow the following three principles.
The opened milk powder must be consumed within one month as soon as possible;
After preparing the milk powder each time, immediately close the lid of the milk powder can and pay attention to sealing. ;
Milk powder should be stored in a cool and ventilated place;
Even if the baby can't finish drinking, it can't be reserved for the baby to drink next time. It is the best way to just pour it out. Because in any case, milk powder still needs to be drunk now.
Mothers should remember that when the baby has not yet developed the regularity of drinking milk, it should be fed on demand, and the baby will drink milk when it needs to drink; the baby will need to be fed according to the amount after three months, and the mother should find out the baby's milk in advance According to the law, you don’t want to drink the milk you can’t finish. Make sure that the baby does not limit when he drinks too much, and does not force when he drinks less. Let the baby develop a regular habit of drinking milk step by step. This is the wise way to feed the baby. Finally, I hope your baby can grow up healthily and happily!
