Recommendations for good things in raising children - Diet

The child is already 7 years old. She is a first-time mother. She always wants to use the best things for her child. As a result, she has stepped on countless pitfalls and spent a lot of money. I have some time today and suddenly wanted to record the things that are really useful in raising children, as a little guide for confused new mothers. This is my first time posting an article on Aunt Zhang. I write whatever comes to my mind. Forgive me

Note: 7 years ago, the cross-border e-commerce business was not so developed. It basically relied on transshipment and Amazon direct mail. Now it is much more convenient. For this reason, I will not post the link. , as long as it is a reliable official store. You can also compare prices yourself.

Mothers who are unable to breastfeed for some reasons.

Golden Aptamil (1 to 4 paragraphs)

Milk powder is a substitute for breast milk. First of all, everyone must have enough energy and nutrition. Secondly, there are all kinds of gimmicks. The immune factors in breast milk cannot be imitated. There is no need to add probiotics. Babies eat a single diet and the intestinal flora is relatively stable, and all of them will die if only that little amount is added. So, the only ones that make sense are oligosaccharides. In the past, the reason why old people thought that children would get angry after eating milk powder was because it lacked oligosaccharides compared with breast milk. Oligosaccharides can be understood as nutrients for intestinal flora and are also a type of prebiotics. Aptamil is the most cost-effective player that I have researched (the usual price is about 160 to 170 per barrel, yes, domestic milk powder is really affordable). There are many versions of Aptamil, including the Chinese version, the British version, the German version, and the Australian version. The Chinese version is the most expensive and not cost-effective. I have always bought the Australian version in gold packaging. There is no other version because the Australian version comes in a tin can and the postage is not good. It's most reassuring to come here. As for the gold and platinum equipment, if you don’t need the money, go for the platinum equipment, but the gold equipment is actually enough. I now occasionally buy section 4, because it is actually cheaper to brew than fresh milk.

PS: If it is inconvenient to prepare milk when you go out, you can buy Aptamil's liquid formula milk, which costs about 10 yuan a bottle.

2. Baby bottle

Many people think that a baby bottle is just a nipple + bottle body. But those who have studied a little physics know that when a child drinks milk from a pacifier,When the liquid decreases and the pressure changes, it is difficult to suck out the milk. You have to loosen the pacifier and let some air in. During this process, the child may swallow more air. There are also persistent children who do not spit out the milk and cannot drink it. Milk. Therefore, how to drink milk smoothly is actually the focus of each family. Here are two milk bottles recommended, you can choose according to your financial situation.

Dr. Brown comes in many shapes, tall or short.

Dr. Brown’s bottle has an air inlet valve inside, which allows The child drank very smoothly from beginning to end. It’s not expensive either. A set costs more than 100. The PP material is fine, but be aware that the plastic material will get scratched with use, so it’s best to replace it every 3 months.

Dr. Brown is good at everything, but it is very troublesome to brush. After all, there are too many parts. My child drank milk 8 times a day and brushed 8 bottles. It was really satisfying. Vomiting blood

So my idea came to a disposable bottle - a playtex bottle, which costs about 5 cents on average, and you only need to brush the nipple.

Yes, it looks very much like that

The principle is very simple, it is like a plastic bag, and the child sucks the plastic It will gradually become deflated, which is actually like the feeling of emptying breast milk. After I finish drinking, I throw away the bottle and the pacifiers in the dishwasher. At first you need to buy a set with an outer shell, and then you can just buy the inner tank. This liner comes in two capacities: large and small, so pay attention when buying.

Also, I suggest you not to use scissors to modify the pacifier because the eye is small or something. If the opening is not suitable, the child will easily choke. Each brand has its own response. Just buy a pacifier with a flow rate corresponding to your age.

3. Complementary food

Children start to add complementary food when they are 6 months old. The addition of complementary food must start from simple, it is best to add Eat each food for 5 consecutive days to make sure you are not allergic to that food before adding the next one. There are basically three types of commercially available complementary foods that need to be purchased: rice noodles, rice cakes, and fruit puree.

Rice noodles are definitely the first type of complementary food. Nowadays, there are so many types of rice noodles and the richness of ingredients is simply amazing. In fact, complementary food is complementary food, not staple food. It is definitely not anything. After an allergy, just make a puree of anything and it will be nutritious.

It's not that this is the only one you can buy, but that this ingredient list is clean and suitable for being the first complementary food

Add only one kind each time Don’t be greedy for too much food.

There are many kinds of rice cakes, and I ate a lot of them at that time. Nothing was particularly amazing, so I won’t post pictures. When buying, try to choose ones with less sugar. The texture of the rice cakes is similar to the snow cakes we eat. The rice cakes are puffed and are mainly used to help children grind their teeth. They melt in the mouth without choking.

Don't steam the homemade fruit puree, don't steam it, don't steam it, otherwise all the vitamins will be lost, leaving only fructose. Wash and peel apples and pears. If you have a puree-making tool that can rub out the puree, just make a small bowl. Bananas are not laxative, they contain tannic acid, which can inhibit intestinal movement. However, bananas can be combined with avocado to taste good and solve the problem of laxatives.

In fact, the ingredients list of commercially available baby purees is very clean. It is very convenient to buy some to eat when going out. It is recommended to keep prune puree. If the child is constipated, eating some prune puree is basically effective. , children also like the sweet and sour taste.

Like vegetable puree, meat puree, basically mix some into rice noodles. Green vegetables may cause the stool to turn green, so don't be alarmed.

The form of these complementary foods can gradually transition from puree to small pieces and large pieces as the age of the month increases. However, regardless of the size of the pieces, the principle is that they should be soft and can be eaten without teeth. Grind it into a clay texture so you won't choke.

Eggs should be discussed separately. Eggs are very nutritious and chicken cakes are also suitable as complementary foods. However, the allergenicity rate of eggs is still relatively high. They must be added separately when added. , and pay close attention to the child's poop. If you are allergic, stop giving this food for a month, and then try adding a small amount after a month. Because allergies change as your body develops. Before my child was one year old, he had diarrhea whenever he ate eggs. When he was almost 2 years old, he suddenly lost his allergy.

4. Utensils

Bowls and spoons are really not that fancy, you can use them as you like, I will use the ones from IKEA The plastic cover is very cheap, and you don’t have to worry about throwing it away after a few uses. There are no brand restrictions on other table mats, dining chairs, etc. You can buy whatever you like.

Sometimes when I go out, I buy more to use as disposable tableware

Some possible questions about diet

1. Do I need to buy a milk dispenser?

I bought it, IQ tax. The water tank needs to be cleaned regularly. The milk powder is pushed down by the impeller. Not only will it get damp, but the amount pushed out each time is also uncertain. It is better to mix the hot and cold water directly yourself and make it now. But be careful, after washing your hands, be sure to dry them before picking up the milk powder spoon. Do not drip water into the opened milk powder. You can test the water temperature with your own wrist. You will know if it is too much.

2. Do children need to drink water within one month?

In fact, there are not so many restrictions. First of all, if the child is breastfed or the milk powder is prepared strictly according to the proportion, the child will not be short of water, but I will be used to giving it to the child after drinking milk. He washed the milk in his mouth with two spoonfuls of water.

3. Do I need to use special baby water to prepare milk/drink?

No, IQ tax. The water from a domestic qualified RO membrane water purifier is clean enough when boiled. As for those who expect the minerals in the water to be replenished, I haha

4. Do I need to boil the water after each use of the bottle?

In fact, children's things should be as clean and dry as possible, but they do not need to be sterile. Sterility is impossible, and it is not conducive to the growth of children. You can buy a few more bottles. After cleaning them, there is a special bottle sterilizer (steam sterilization, not ultraviolet rays, which will cause denaturation of the bottles). There is no problem in sterilizing 4 or 5 bottles at one time. Then just use a draining rack to dry. Drying is the best fungicide.

5. Can’t you eat salt? Aren't you running out of energy?

I tried not to eat salt before 8 months. My lack of energy was due to lack of potassium ions. These things are found in milk powder, but they are not in the form of salt. Less oil and less salt. Longevity is the truth.

That's all I can think of about food. If I have the energy, I'll write about things I use daily. This is my first time posting an article on Auntie. I have no experience in various types of formatting. The sentences may not be fluent and there may be many typos. Please forgive me.
