Misconceptions about artificial feeding of infants

Parents need to do this : Check the milk speed

Check the milk flow rate in advance. If it takes several seconds to form a drop, it means the hole is too small; if the milk flows out in a line, it means the hole is too large. Generally, 1 drop per second is appropriate. Generally speaking, newborns mainly use S-sized pacifiers.

Sometimes tightening the bottle cap too much can affect the flow rate. Loosen the bottle cap slightly to allow air to enter the bottle to fill the space after the milk is sucked out. If this is not done, negative pressure will be created in the bottle, causing the nipple to become flat and making it very difficult for the child to suck.

Parents should not do this : mix milk too thick or too thin

Before preparing milk powder, be sure to carefully read the instructions for preparing the milk powder and strictly follow the indicated ratio. If the milk powder is too concentrated, it will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and may cause constipation, indigestion, dehydration, etc.; if the milk powder is too diluted, it will lead to malnutrition and affect the baby's physical development.
