actually not.

At the Department of Pediatrics, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Professor Cao Lizhi encountered such a case: Xiaomin, who has not gained weight since birth for 2 months. Asked carefully about the reason, Cao Lizhi found that the problem was on the brewed milk powder. Xiaomin’s mother had to give her milk powder because she had less breast milk after birth. It may be because she is afraid that the child can’t keep up with the nutrition. Every time she washes the milk powder, she will add a spoonful of milk to make the milk thick. Who thought that this was a big mistake.

Cao Lizhi said that the reason why Xiaomin didn’t gain weight was because of malnutrition, and malnutrition was caused by too thick milk powder. If the milk powder is added too much, the baby’s stomach that is still in the developmental stage may be unable to bear this burden, resulting in insufficient nutrient absorption and even diarrhea. Of course, the milk powder is too thin to be washed, which leads to insufficient protein content, which also causes malnutrition. Therefore, it is recommended that when parents give their children a milk powder, they must follow the ratio indicated on the package.
