What to do if milk powder gets damp

Everyone knows that many babies grow up eating milk powder when they are young, and after the baby eats milk powder, mothers will seal the milk powder bottle tightly, because only in this way can the milk powder not be damp. When the milk powder is damp, the shelf life of the milk powder will be affected. At this time, the milk powder can no longer be given to the baby. So what should I do if the milk powder is damp?

1. Get rid of moisture, a mysterious gadget can help

Moisture invasion raises red flags for milk powder quality. How can we get rid of the annoying moisture? Warm reminder, in our daily life, there are many small helpers on hand to prevent milk powder from moisture, so use them quickly.

Sugar cubes: Sugar cubes have the effect of absorbing moisture. They can take away excess water vapor in the milk powder can and help keep the milk powder dry. If your family members have the habit of drinking coffee, sugar cubes are probably indispensable. Try it now. However, please note that when preparing milk powder for your baby, do not mix sugar cubes into the milk powder.

· Food desiccant: When you buy biscuits and snacks from the supermarket, you will always find one or two packets of food desiccant. Don’t throw away the desiccant. Put it in the milk powder can and let it continue to play its role! Not all desiccants are called food desiccants. If mothers want to buy safe desiccants themselves, it may be quite troublesome. It is most convenient to get them directly from snacks!

2. Block moisture, moms should always be vigilant

After all, milk powder gets damp because of moisture invasion. If you don't take protective measures and just rely on sugar cubes or food desiccant to absorb moisture, the moisture-proof effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, mothers should be especially careful when preparing and storing milk powder to prevent moisture from entering the milk powder.

How to store milk powder correctly

Keep your hands dry when preparing formula

When preparing milk powder, mother's hands should be kept clean and dry. Remember to dry your hands after washing them, and cover the lid immediately after taking out the milk powder to prevent water droplets from entering the milk powder can. In addition, it is best to store the spoon and milk powder separately to prevent the spoon from getting contaminated with water when it comes into contact with the bottle. If you are used to putting the spoon in the jar, remember to dry it first.

Do not store milk powder in the refrigerator

Whenever people mention food preservation, they will think of the omnipotent refrigerator. But milk powder is an exception. It is not suitable to be placed in the refrigerator, but should be stored in a dark and ventilated place. This is because there is a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the refrigerator, and the milk powder is more likely to absorb moisture in the air and become clumping and deteriorating due to frequent taking and putting in and out of the refrigerator.

Canned milk powder: milk powder sealed fresh-keeping device

How to store canned milk powder so that it is not easily affected by moisture? Here are two tips. First, cover the tin can after taking out the milk powder each time, turn it over, and let the milk powder seal the lid to prevent moisture from entering. The second is to choose a "magic weapon" - a milk powder sealed preservative. This preservative can extract the air from the milk powder can, allowing the milk powder to remain dry and sterile for a long time, which is more conducive to preserving the milk powder.
