Babies who grow up on breast milk are lucky as they can obtain more antibodies from breast milk, thereby reducing their chances of getting sick. But no matter how good breast milk is, it cannot be consumed continuously. It needs to be weaned in a timely manner at a certain age. Some babies don't like to eat after weaning, and their mothers will subsidize some milk powder for them. What kind of milk powder should a 2-year-old baby eat?
A 2-year-old baby's nutritional source has transitioned from breast milk to complementary foods, and at this point, formula can only exist as a snack. Then mothers should not buy milk powder with overly complex nutritional components for their babies. As long as it is a milk powder brand sold in regular supermarkets and maternity stores, mothers can give it to their babies. As long as the baby does not experience allergies or discomfort after eating it, it is acceptable.
However, every brand of milk powder is divided into stages, so mothers should not buy the wrong one. 2-year-old babies need to eat three-stage milk powder. The first paragraph can only be eaten by babies between zero and six months old, while the second paragraph is suitable for babies between six months and one year old. Three stage milk powder can be consumed by babies from one year old to three years old. After the age of three, the baby no longer needs to continue eating formula.
In fact, a two-year-old baby's digestive function and chewing ability of teeth have already developed significantly, and their diet can fully assimilate with adults. Mothers should still try to guide their babies to focus on complementary foods, as they provide more comprehensive nutrition to meet their growth and development needs.
