Most mothers choose to breastfeed their babies after giving birth because breastfeeding is beneficial for both the mother and the baby. If the mother cannot breastfeed, she will choose formula milk powder for the baby. However, recently, some new mothers want to know if it is possible for the baby to eat both breast milk and formula milk powder at the same time?
If the amount of breast milk secreted by the mother is not enough for the baby to eat, she can use breast milk combined with formula milk powder to feed the baby. This feeding method is called mixed feeding, but mothers should pay attention that if they use mixed feeding for the baby, they cannot eat breast milk and formula milk powder at the same time during each feeding, that is, they cannot eat breast milk before formula milk powder.
If you feed your baby in this way, it is very easy to cause indigestion, which is not conducive to their physical health. At the same time, it is also easy to make them have illusions. In severe cases, it may even lead to aversion to milk and refuse to eat bottles. If the baby cannot eat enough for a long time, it will cause malnutrition, weakened immune system, and increased risk of illness.
Every time a mother feeds her baby, she can only feed one type of milk at a time, that is, one meal of breast milk and the next meal of formula milk. Even if the baby is not fully fed during this meal, formula milk cannot be fed immediately. However, the timing of the next meal of formula milk can be slightly advanced. Mothers must remember that the principle of mixed feeding is to make full use of limited breast milk and feed as much breast milk as possible.
