Baby feeding method, baby scientific feeding method

The healthy growth of babies is inseparable from scientific feeding methods. Many young and inexperienced new parents are often at a loss when it comes to feeding. On the one hand, they don’t know when to feed the baby, and on the other hand, they don’t know what to pay attention to when feeding. So how to feed your baby scientifically?

1: How long after the baby is born should you start breastfeeding? The older generation said half a day to a day. In fact, the best time to breastfeed a newborn is half an hour after birth. Because colostrum is suitable for newborn babies to drink. It contains dense nutrients and immunoglobulins that can prevent diseases and enhance immunity. Secondly, breastfeeding can promote the secretion of breast milk and promote the recovery of the uterus, which is very helpful for the mother's postpartum recovery. Furthermore, a newborn's sucking ability is strongest half an hour after birth. If the baby can get sucking stimulation at this time, it will be very helpful for the baby to drink milk.

1: Cod liver oil is very helpful in enhancing the baby's resistance and promoting the growth and development of infants and young children. It mainly contains vitamin A and vitamin D, which can also protect eyesight and resist cancer invasion. Breast milk is relatively lacking in vitamins A and D, so cod liver oil is the best nutritional supplement for infants and young children besides breast milk. Generally, babies of 2 or 3 weeks old can start feeding cod liver oil. Be sure to buy concentrated cod liver oil. Use a dropper to suck out a certain dose and then drop it into the corner of the baby's mouth or under the tongue, letting him lick it in slowly.

1: Adding complementary foods to infants and young children is the most common problem, but many parents do not grasp the timing of adding complementary foods, either too early or too late, and some even do not add fish, meat, vegetables, soy products, fruits, etc. to the baby until the baby is 8 months old. This will cast a shadow on the baby's development. Studies have shown that babies begin to enter a sensitive period of learning to chew and developing taste buds after 4 months. At 5 or 6 months, they already show a strong interest in food. The lactase in the intestines begins to become active and more amylase is secreted, so it is most appropriate to add complementary foods to the baby at this time. It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed babies who are less than 4 months old. There is no need to add any water, drinks or food. When adding complementary foods after 4 months, you should also pay attention to the method, because babies who are accustomed to breast milk will find it difficult to accept complementary foods of a different taste. It is best to add complementary food to your baby when he is in a good mood or feels hungry.

1: Let your baby drink water from a cup instead of a bottle to exercise the muscles of his little hands and promote hand-eye coordination. It is a good way to avoid tooth decay caused by long-term sucking on a bottle. Therefore, starting from the baby's 5 months old, it is recommended to let the baby touch and get familiar with the quilt to prepare for drinking water from a cup. When your baby is 6 months old, start teaching him to drink water from a cup. Specific method: Use a cup to fill a small amount of water, then let the baby hold the cup with both hands, and the mother will help him put the water into his mouth. Pay attention to drinking slowly, one sip at a time. After the baby can hold the cup steadily by himself, increase the amount of water in the cup.

1: Because some babies are prone to protein allergies after drinking fresh milk, it is not recommended to feed fresh milk to babies under one year old. Only breast milk or formula milk are suitable. Fresh milk can be added to the baby after one year old. In addition, the content of trace elements in fresh milk is less than that in formula milk, and its digestion and absorption are not as good as those of formula milk. Therefore, it is better to add calcium-fortified fresh milk after the baby is one year old and his diet is richer and has more sources of nutrition.

1: The growth and development of babies requires the supplementation of trace elements, especially iron. Generally, full-term babies get enough iron from their mothers to last for three or four months, and they can start taking iron supplements when they are 4 or 5 months old. The best way to supplement iron is to add iron-containing foods, such as formula rice noodles, egg yolks, liver paste, etc. It is important to note that the baby's daily iron intake should not be less than 10 mg.

A reasonable diet and a healthy diet are inseparable from healthy feeding by parents. When to feed and how to feed are issues that need to be paid attention to.
