Preparing milk powder is an essential introductory course for novice parents in parenting. Don't simply think that preparing milk is an easy task, as there are also techniques involved. So, what is the correct way for babies to shake their milk?
Firstly, in the first step of milk preparation, we should add water before adding formula. We should follow the correct mixing ratio and instructions because the baby's gastrointestinal system is still in the developmental stage. Avoid consuming too thick or too thin, which can cause indigestion and burden the kidneys and stomach. When preparing milk powder at the same time, do not use purified water as it removes various trace elements. Long term consumption of purified water can lead to malnutrition in children.
Secondly, the shaking method for milk preparation should avoid vigorously shaking the bottle to accelerate the dissolution of the milk powder. The correct way is to cover the already prepared milk powder with a nipple, and parents should rely on the strength of their wrists to hold the middle and upper part of the bottle, shake the bottom of the bottle in the same direction, and rotate it horizontally. Avoid shaking the bottle vigorously left, right, up, and down, as this can easily cause excessive air to be generated in the milk powder, causing the baby to continuously burp after drinking.
Finally, we should also pay attention to the fact that if the baby cannot finish drinking milk, the constant temperature storage time should not exceed 2 hours. Generally, bacteria and nutrient loss will occur after 2 hours, and the baby may feel uncomfortable after drinking it. At the same time, do a good job in disinfecting the bottle and removing any remaining milk stains inside.
