Milk powder, as a baby food other than breast milk, needs to be carefully selected by mothers. Because milk powder is meant to be directly ingested by babies, improper selection can pose a threat to their health. But many mothers have no experience in raising babies, so what kind of formula does a baby around 2 years old drink?
Although there are many brands of milk powder, each brand of milk powder has segmented standards. Babies need to drink first stage formula before the age of half a year, second stage formula before the age of one, and third stage formula between the ages of one and three. Therefore, babies around 2 years old can drink third stage formula. But it is recommended that the mother continue to drink the brand that the baby has been drinking, and not easily change the brand.
In fact, at this stage, the baby's digestive system has already developed well, and most of the complementary foods can be eaten. The source of nutrition can be obtained completely from complementary foods. If the baby is not crying excessively and wants to drink milk, then the mother can take the opportunity to weaned the baby. Even if the baby doesn't eat well with complementary foods, the mother should reduce the frequency of breastfeeding to help the baby better accept complementary foods.
After the baby reaches three years old, the mother no longer has to worry about choosing formula for the baby. At that time, she can completely give the baby pure milk. Compared to powdered milk, pure milk has many advantages, the most important of which is convenience, as it can be consumed directly without the need for mixing.
