Every mother likes her baby to be able to have the most natural and healthy breast milk, but some mothers are unable to do so. Although they really want to give their baby breast milk, the amount of breast milk is not enough for the baby to eat. Helpless, they can only choose mixed feeding. So, are mixed feeding babies good?
The nutrition intake of babies fed in a mixed manner is not as good as that of babies fed solely with breast milk, but it does not mean that babies fed in a mixed manner are bad. As long as mothers can master scientific feeding methods, babies fed in a mixed manner can also develop well.
1. Prioritize breast milk
Every time a baby wants to breastfeed, breast milk should be given priority. If the baby no longer wants to breastfeed after finishing, they can wait for the next time to continue breastfeeding. If the baby is not enough, you can add some formula milk temporarily. However, it should be noted that formula milk cannot be fed immediately at this time.
2. Feeding formula milk at night
Before the baby goes to bed at night, the mother can breastfeed once, and when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night and needs to be breastfed, formula milk can be fed. Because this is done to allow the mother to rest better and secrete more milk.
3. Persist in breastfeeding
Many mixed feeding mothers choose to give up breast milk, but there are many benefits to breast milk, not only for the baby, but also for the mother. Mom should give herself more confidence and hope, which is also helpful for the secretion of milk.
