After the baby is born, feeding the baby is a big problem for the mother.Because breastfeeding is only temporary, when the baby is of certain age, it has to replace with infant milk powder.
However, the emergence of baby formula counterfeiting incidents has made mothers hesitate and uncertain when choosing.

Ranking of Infant Milk Powder Quality: With the multitude of brands available, the quality of infant milk powder varies greatly. Which brand of milk powder is better? Moms can refer to the following ranking of infant milk powder quality: NO.1 Tetflav organic milk powder. Tetflav is one of the first companies in Germany that researched and produced baby food, with a history of over 100 years. The organic milk powder it produces strictly controls the production process from the farm to the manufacturing, and adopts wet processing technology. There are no middle links such as re-dissolved milk powder, thus eliminating safety risks, ensuring quality assurance.
NO.2 Mead Johnson Baby Formula, Mead Johnson Baby Formula is made by the American Mead Johnson Company and most of its milk comes from imported sources. It does not contain any additives that may harm the health of infants, ensuring quality and safety.
NO.3 French Angland Organic Milk Powder, sourced from the high-mountain pastures of the Pyrenees Mountains in France, adheres to the green organic principles of "organic, natural, and pure."

Misconceptions in Choosing Baby Formula: When selecting formula for infants, besides focusing on the brand of the formula, it is also important to consider its nutritional content. However, avoid the following misconceptions when choosing formula for your baby: Misconception 1: Always buy formula that contains DHA. Adding DHA to formula can indeed benefit the growth and development of babies. However, for ordinary infants, they can synthesize DHA from their diet, specifically from linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.
Moms need not overly pursue milk formula that contains DHA. As long as the basic nutrients such as protein, calories, carbohydrates, fats, cholesterol are included in the milk formula, they can buy it.
Misconception 2: The higher the protein content in formula, the better. The protein content in human breast milk is 1.5 grams per 100 milliliters, while it is 3.3 grams per 100 milliliters in cow's milk. As long as the daily intake of proteins by the baby can meet its growth needs, excessive intake can lead to indigestion and increase the burden on the kidneys, affecting health.
Misconception 3: The more nutritional content, the better. For every age group, there are certain standards for height and weight. If a baby can meet these standards, that's optimal. However, if they exceed them, it may lead to obesity in the later stages. Therefore, when selecting formula milk, one should consider the growth needs of the baby and avoid excessive consumption, which could harm the body.
Can infant formula be prepared with sterile water? Some mothers blindly trust that using sterile water for mixing infant formula is better. So, do we need sterile water to prepare infant formula? Opinion One: Using sterile water to mix formula Sterile water means water that is free of bacteria. To achieve this, it should be filled at 85-92 degrees Celsius or ultra-high temperature sterilized and then cooled to room temperature before use, so that microorganisms cannot survive.
Some products on the market also use aseptic packaging, such as room temperature milk packaged by Nestlé.
The use of sterile water to prepare infant formula has certain benefits, avoiding the intake of bacteria by infants when consuming the formula.
Opinion Two: The sterilized water used for preparing infant formula is not necessary. Although the water used for preparing infant formula is sterile, bacteria can still grow when it is poured into bottles and consumed, so there is no need to use sterilized water for preparing infant formula. As long as the water is clean and the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, it can be used for preparing infant formula.
Tip: Babies in the womb are sterile, but after birth they continuously come into contact with bacteria, gradually building their own gut microbiome. Therefore, it is somewhat beneficial to expose oneself to bacteria as it helps enhance immunity. Conversely, overemphasizing sterility could actually increase the risk of allergies.
Can baby formula cause constipation? Some mothers may notice that when breastfeeding, babies have soft stools; while using formula for feeding, the stools are hard and sometimes constipated.
Can infant formula cause constipation in babies? Which formulas are considered "less irritating"? Some baby formulas can make babies irritable, but constipation in babies may also be caused by improper preparation of the mother's milk.
If the mother is in a rush when making formula milk, and does not pay attention to the ratio of water to formula powder, the formula milk will be too thick. The baby may have a dry mouth after drinking it.
Therefore, when preparing formula milk, mothers should strictly follow the requirements on the formula bottle.
Additionally, when purchasing formula milk for your baby, opt for a formula that contains vegetable oil. This is because palm oil is not conducive to the baby's health and can cause symptoms such as irritability and constipation.
In baby formulas, there is stearic acid, which combines with palmitic acid to form calcium soap, causing constipation in babies. Mothers should be careful when selecting products, choosing those that suit their baby's constitution.
Feeding Baby Formula: It is important to understand the right way of feeding a baby, and avoid carelessness which may affect their health.
When mothers are feeding their babies milk, they must pay attention to the following points: 1. Maintain a calm and warm environment. Babies, being naturally curious and disobedient, love to move around and make noise when drinking milk, which can be quite frustrating for mothers.
To calm baby down, mommy should create a peaceful and warm environment, such as playing music, which is more conducive to feeding.
2. Master the correct and comfortable feeding method. Mommy must not let the baby lie down and drink milk. This will make the baby easily choke on the milk, and in severe cases, it may even develop symptoms of poor breathing.
The correct way to breastfeed is: Mommy picks up the baby, gently soothes the baby, and then puts the pacifier into the baby's mouth to let the baby slowly suck the milk. It should be noted that the baby's body should be tilted, and the bottle should also be tilted, because the baby absorbs quickly.
