Can milk powder and porridge be eaten together

As the baby grows day by day, the nutrition in breast milk can no longer meet the baby's body needs. When the baby is five or six months old, mothers will add some complementary foods to the baby's diet so that the baby can absorb more nutrition. Some mothers will feed their babies some homemade complementary foods, and some will add some stage-by-stage milk powder. So can milk powder and porridge be eaten together? Let's find out.

Myth 1: You shouldn’t add indigestible grains

Some people add some grains to white rice porridge to make it more nutritious. It is best to use rice when cooking porridge in winter, because rice is sweet and neutral in nature, while other rice, such as millet and coix seed, are sweet and slightly cold in nature, and are not particularly suitable for use in winter. Also, the aroma of corn is relatively coarse, which is not easy for babies who have just started to eat complementary foods to digest, and will increase their gastrointestinal burden.

Myth 2: You shouldn’t add foods with strong flavors

Some female friends think that white rice porridge tastes bland and are worried that their babies will not like it, so they add some sugar or meat to it. However, everyone should understand that meat or overly sweet foods can cause damage to the internal organs. Therefore, everyone should let the baby develop the habit of light diet and do not add too heavy flavors to porridge.

Myth 3: Rice oil and milk powder should not be consumed together

After people’s porridge is cooked, there will be a layer of sticky substance on it, which has a nourishing effect no less than ginseng. If people are dark and thin, they will become whiter after eating for a period of time. Some mothers think that feeding their babies with nutritious rice soup and rice flour will be icing on the cake. In fact, the nutrients in rice soup and milk powder are contradictory. The fat in rice porridge will destroy the vitamin A in milk, so they should be used separately.

Now everyone should know the common misunderstandings about babies eating rice noodles. Many babies in life now have this phenomenon. Some mothers have no experience, so they will randomly add some food when feeding their babies. This will have a great impact on the baby's health. Also, don't let your baby eat too much when feeding him.
