Balanced Nutrition Determines Baby Health
Breast milk contains the rich nutrients that babies need. It is an irreplaceable high-quality milk for any dairy product and plays an important role in the growth and development of the baby. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to use breastfeeding. For infants who are breast-fed or cannot be breast-fed because of illness, choosing infant formula is the closest thing to breast-milk. For growth and development, the baby's food should contain sufficient protein, vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the selection and matching of complementary foods. The detection of Botox by New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra led to another round of heightened concerns about infant food safety issues in China, which made it even more worrying to Chinese consumers who are wary of domestic milk powder brands. Let your baby grow up healthily? To this end, the reporter interviewed Zhang Xuefeng, director of the Neonatology Clinic of the No. 302 Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, to discuss the nutritional balance of infants. Breastfeeding is still the best choice To promote breastfeeding, it is identified as "World Breastfeeding Week" from August 1 to July 7 each year. Breastfeeding is now the best way to nurture and social consensus has been reached. Zhang Xuefeng emphasized that breast milk contains the rich nutrients that babies need, and is an irreplaceable high-quality milk for any dairy product. It plays an important role in the growth and development of infants. Therefore, it is better to use breastfeeding if conditions permit. What are the benefits of breastfeeding babies? First of all, breastmilk is rich in nutrients and the proportion of various ingredients is appropriate, especially for breastfeeding infants within 6 months. Zhang Xuefeng example: breast milk whey protein less casein, the formation of the curd in the stomach soft, easy to digest. The high lactose content is mainly caused by beta-lactose, which promotes the growth of intestinal lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, etc., and facilitates absorption. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus is good for calcium absorption. Breastfeeding can also enhance your baby's resistance and immunity. In breast milk, there are a large number of immune antibodies and immunocompetent cells needed by infants, such as secretory immunoglobulin A, lactoferrin, and alpha-lactalbumin. These immunoreactive substances participate in the regulation of immune function and prevent many diseases. The invasion of pathogens plays an important role in reducing the incidence of recent infant diarrhea, respiratory tract and mucous membrane infections. Breastfeeding can also reduce allergic reactions caused by milk or other foods. Second, postpartum breastfeeding can help the mother to contract the uterus, so that the uterus can return to normal as soon as possible. It can also help mothers to reduce the weight gained during the pregnancy as soon as possible. "Every mother who is breastfeeding has a much lower chance of developing ovarian cancer and breast cancer than new mothers who are not breastfeeding," Zhang Xuefeng explained. In addition, the mother's use of her own breast milk to nurture the baby is conducive to enhancing the mother and child's feelings, so that the baby can obtain more maternal love, but also conducive to the infant's early intellectual development. Zhang Xuefeng introduced that after investigations, statistics and analysis, scientists have found that the incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome is significantly higher in infants than in breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding infants. In addition, our country is still in the stage of economic development. It is also possible to reduce some expenses by nurturing babies and avoid unnecessary economic burdens on some families. Artificial feeding does not have to suffer from loss Breastmilk is the best food for newly born babies to supplement their nutrition, but some new mothers cannot choose to have breastmilk for themselves or work because they can only choose artificial feeding. Now, the “poisoned milk powder†incident has made new mothers nervous and even suspected that feeding with powdered milk would not work. So, can artificial feeding babies achieve a satisfactory result? Zhang Xuefeng believes that the “poisoned milk powder†incident is just an accidental event. It is totally unnecessary to turn this incident into a panic. It is even more unreliable and considers all milk powder unsafe. Although milk powder cannot completely replace breast milk, it is also a good choice for babies during infancy if the baby is breast-fed or cannot breast-feed because of illness. In terms of nutrients, infant formula is the closest thing to breastmilk. In terms of formula characteristics, the choice of milk powder that is closer to the breast milk formula is more beneficial to the baby's growth and development. Zhang Xuefeng believes that at present, there is no data showing that domestic milk powder is inferior to imported milk powder. Conversely, there is no specific relevant research that shows that imported milk powder is not suitable for Chinese baby's constitution. The choice of milk powder should be based on the parents’ economic situation and the child’s adaptability. It is selected under the guidance of a doctor and cannot be completely determined by advertising and some unscientific propaganda. Balanced Nutrition Determines Baby Health Whether the baby is healthy or not, nutritional balance is the key. So how to judge whether the baby's nutrition is balanced? Zhang Xuefeng said that in the past, we often judged the baby's health by looking at the size of the body, but this is not entirely correct. From the relationship between nutrition and health, a simple judgment can be considered that the height, weight, and head circumference that conform to the standards of the same age are signs of health. To this end, mothers need to understand which nutrients are helpful for babies, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, iron in minerals, zinc, selenium, copper, and manganese. For growth and development, the baby's food should contain sufficient protein, vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the selection and matching of complementary foods. Before 6 months, babies mainly relied on sucking milk to absorb these nutrients. After 6 months, when the baby starts to eat more supplementary food, as long as the mother can prepare a reasonable and balanced diet for the baby, the baby can get all the necessary nutrition. Many parents are accustomed to feeding their children in their own ways and knowledge, but they neglect the actual physical needs and nutritional status of the babies. In this regard, Zhang Xuefeng suggested that infants should also regularly visit the hospital or a nearby community hospital for medical examinations. The doctors at the children’s health clinics will guide the mothers to scientifically adjust their baby’s nutritional intake according to the results of various indicators, so as to achieve a balanced nutritional balance for the baby. The goal is to let the baby grow up healthily.
