Why can darling drink milk powder constipation?
Generally speaking, the main reason for constipation is;
1. Baby milk powder is not mixed properly. Some parents will make the milk powder very thick. They think that the baby will absorb more nutrition. In fact, otherwise, it will cause indigestion of the baby.
2. Lack of water intake, some babies do not like drinking water, parents will not be able to feed, which will also cause indigestion.
3. Intake of food is too little, such as too little milk, will also lead to fecal residue is too little and cause constipation. Of course, the baby's diet habits change, the increase in activity and other reasons will also cause temporary irregular defecation.
Constipation is not directly related to the brand of infant milk powder. Some mothers will try to change different brands of milk powder when their baby is constipated. At the beginning, because the baby's gastrointestinal tract receives new stimulation and the stool is soft, it seems that constipation has improved, but after adapting to the new formula, constipation occurs again. In fact, the way to improve infants' constipation should be to find out the cause of constipation, and then to improve the cause.
What milk powder does not constipate?
When selecting formula milk powder for the baby, avoid the baby milk powder containing palm oil, whole milk powder or milk fat. Try to choose the refined vegetable oil formula. If the baby doesn't drink it, the absorption of calcium and fat will be better, which will help the bone development and energy absorption of the baby. At the same time, you can also appropriately add supplementary food. You'd better chop spinach, cabbage, green vegetables, shepherd's purse, etc. into rice porridge and cook them together to make vegetable porridge for your baby. Vegetable contains a lot of cellulose and other food residues, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and achieve the purpose of defecation.
It is very important to control the palmitoleic acid and stearic acid in the baby's diet. Constipation is caused by the hard feces, which is caused by the insoluble substance in the feces. The insoluble substance mainly comes from the calcium soap formed by the combination of palmitoleic acid and stearic acid which cannot be absorbed in the intestine. Therefore, if baby milk powder contains more palmitoleic acid and stearic acid, defecation will be harder.
In addition, we should also cultivate the habit of normal defecation from childhood. Defecation is as important as eating. Eating is for the survival and growth of the baby. Defecation makes the waste or harmful substances of human metabolism discharged from the body in time to avoid damage to the body. Generally, it is better to let the child defecate after eating. For example, let the baby sit in the toilet regularly every day. Even if there is no stool, let him sit for more than ten minutes. If the conditioned reflex of stool is established, the effect of half the effort can be achieved.
