How to make newborns gain weight quickly

Parents pay great attention to the weight of their newborns, and even weigh their children every one or two weeks. Because weight can largely reflect whether a child is healthy. However, many children have the problem of being too thin. When this problem occurs, parents have to find ways to supplement their children's nutrition so that they can become fatter. So, what kind of food can make newborns gain weight?

Protein Choice

Choose high-quality protein sources, such as eggs, milk, meat, poultry, etc., which should account for more than half of the total daily protein. For plant-based protein, isolated and extracted soy protein powder will be more effective because it contains less plant fiber that hinders absorption. As for which method is better, eating meat or drinking milk? People who value efficiency can try drinking high-protein milk powder (such as Sanduo Milk Protein), which will increase the protein intake compared to drinking ordinary fresh milk or eating meat, and the absorption and utilization rate is also better.

Choice of sugar

Carbohydrate intake is also an important part. Choose foods with higher starch content, such as white bread, steamed buns, white rice, sweet potatoes, taro, pumpkin, etc. When cooking, you can add some maltodextrin (generally known as corn hydrolyzed starch, which can be directly added to food for consumption) in the form of thickening, stewing, or thickening, or in soup, juice, or milk to increase calorie intake.

Fat Choice

For the fat part, you can use a moderate amount of medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) with better absorption and utilization rate to increase the intake of concentrated calories. Pure medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) do not contain "essential fatty acids" and must be used with general oils. It is recommended to choose medium-chain fatty acid products that have been mixed with essential fatty acids (for example: Sanduo High Energy) to avoid essential fatty acid deficiency. It is generally recommended that medium-chain fatty acids should account for no more than 60% of the total oil usage.

Food for weight gain: Yam porridge

Ingredients: yam, cheese, sugar.

There are two methods for making it. One method is to wash the fresh yam, mash it, add it to the rice porridge when it is cooked, mix well, and then add cheese and sugar to eat; another method is to dry the yam and grind it into powder, take 30 grams each time, add cold water to mix well, put it on the stove, cook it on low heat, stirring constantly, remove it after two or three boils, add cheese and sugar and it is ready to eat.

Yam is sweet and mild in nature, can replenish deficiency, grow muscles, and moisturize skin and hair. It is a wonderful product for treating emaciation and beautifying. Cheese can nourish the lungs, moisturize the skin, nourish yin and promote salivation. The combination of the two can invigorate the spleen and stomach and help transform the energy, so it is very effective for patients with thin body.
