Babies like to eat dry milk powder, but many mothers worry that if they rely on milk powder to raise their babies all the time, they may become increasingly overweight. Some mothers often eat a lot of formula before feeding their babies, so they worry about whether they will gain weight due to formula. Will eating baby's dry milk powder frequently lead to weight gain? Let's learn about it together.
Will eating baby's dry milk powder frequently lead to weight gain
1. The nutritional content of infant formula is relatively low, which is suitable for the growth of infants. For example, the amount of calcium contained in the same amount of formula varies at different age stages. The older the age, the higher the calcium content, as well as protein, calories, fat, and so on. The content of all nutrients will vary, and will increase or decrease according to the growth needs of infants. If you treat baby formula as dinner, you can lose weight.
2. No, the substances added to infant formula are suitable for infants as they have not fully developed. They have low nutritional content and are helpful for people with poor gastrointestinal health. However, due to their limited nutrition, they are not suitable for adult consumption.
Is it better for babies to be fatter
1. When a baby's weight increases beyond the standard value, it can lead to an increased burden on their cardiovascular function. In the short term, it has no impact on their health, but it can increase the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. For example: heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and other 30 kinds of diseases, baby obesity will also cause precocious puberty.
2. If a baby consumes too much high calorie and high-fat food, resulting in a single nutrient intake, the balance of the body's nutrient mechanism will be disrupted over time, leading to the inability of the body's fat to be metabolized into heat and stored in the abdomen and subcutaneous tissue. As a result, their weight will naturally exceed the standard, and there may also be insufficient intake of some necessary elements, leading to malnutrition.
Through the previous text, I believe that all mothers have already understood the two questions of whether regular consumption of baby's dry milk powder will cause weight gain and whether it is better for babies to be fatter. Many mothers believe that raising their children to be fair and chubby is the best, but if they are very overweight, it can actually have a very negative impact on their children's development. Therefore, mothers should give their children a balanced diet.
