There are many ways to feed babies. Many mothers breastfeed their babies, which is the most common way of feeding. But many mothers have to mix some milk powder for their babies to drink due to insufficient breast milk. I haven't given my baby formula before. May I ask if mixed feeding is good for babies?
Mom also doesn't want to give her baby milk powder, but because she has less breast milk, she can only give her baby milk powder and some breast milk. In fact, no matter which feeding method is used, as long as the correct one is mastered, it is very beneficial for the growth of the baby. If you decide to mix feeding, it's best to give your baby formula during the day and breastfeed them at night.
Babies drink both breast milk and formula milk, so mothers should not buy too much formula milk and leave it at home. Milk powder has a shelf life. Buying a lot of milk powder at once and storing it at home, if not consumed in time, can affect the taste and nutrition of the milk powder. It is best to touch the temperature of the water bottle with your hands after preparing the milk powder. It's best to keep it at 36 degrees Celsius before giving it to the baby to avoid scalding them.
When feeding a baby, mothers must remember not to feed at too short intervals. In addition, it is not advisable to immediately feed the baby formula after breastfeeding, as it can easily lead to indigestion. It is better to have a half-hour interval between drinking breast milk and milk powder.
