A careless action of mother will turn 'leftover milk' into 'poisonous milk', let's see if you have been recruited
When the baby drinks milk powder, there will always be some leftovers. The mother sees that the milk is about to be drunk, and the baby is determined not to eat it. At this time, the way mothers deal with leftover milk will directly affect the health of the child!
Some mothers may think that the leftover milk is a waste, and it is okay to keep it for the baby to drink tomorrow. The baby is easily hungry at any time, so they will choose to save it for the baby's next meal.
In fact, this leftover milk is easy to spoil in any environment, no matter how cold the weather is, the better the preservation environment is. Because milk is rich in nutrients, once the milk is exposed to the air for a long time, bacteria will thrive in it. Therefore, we often see milk powder packaging in supermarkets that says "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 only a theoretical value.
Babies who drink this milk are prone to diarrhea.
Some mothers think that they can add new milk powder to the remaining milk to brew together, so that the baby can still absorb nutrients from it. After all, the remaining milk is not a lot, and it will be diluted after brewing.
However, this idea is nothing but self-deception. Imagine if the leftover milk contains a small amount of bacteria, after brewing, aren't these bacteria artificially spread? Therefore, after brewing with new milk powder, the new milk will still be "contaminated".
Babies who drink this kind of milk can also have diarrhea easily.
Some mothers will say, since I can't put it in the air, I will put it in the refrigerator, and take it out and heat it when the baby wants to drink, so that the baby will not have diarrhea.
There are still many risks in doing this, because the mother cannot guarantee that the space in the refrigerator is free of food and other items that can contaminate the milk. Because there is a lot of food stored in the refrigerator, if the small space of this closed environment is not hygienic, 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 clearly indicates that the brewing temperature should not be too high. The heat denatures the protein so that even if the bacteria are killed off, the baby cannot get nutrients from it.
All in all, if a mother wants to store formula milk powder and wants to ensure the health of her baby, she must pay attention to the way of storing milk powder, and follow the following three principles.
Opened milk powder must be consumed within one month as soon as possible;
After each preparation of milk powder, 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 saved for the baby to drink next time. It's the best way to dump it directly. Because in any case, milk powder still needs to be brewed and drunk.
Mothers should remember that when the baby has not developed the regularity of drinking milk, feed on demand, and the baby needs to drink milk as soon as possible; the baby after three months needs to be fed according to the amount, and the mother should find out in advance that the baby is drinking milk. The rule is that you don’t want to drink the milk that you can’t finish. Make sure that the baby does not limit when he drinks too much, and does not force it when he drinks less. Let the baby develop a regular milk habit step by step. This is the wise way to feed the baby. Finally, I hope your baby can grow up healthy and happy!
