Which milk powder box is good to use? There are 3 points to consider when buying it

The first is whether it is protected from light. Check whether measures have been taken to protect it from light. The second is whether it is sealed. A milk powder box with poor sealing is prone to air leakage, causing the milk powder to oxidize and deteriorate. The third is whether the lid is easy to open.

Which milk powder box is better?

1) Is it protected from light?

We all know that baby milk powder contains a lot of vitamins and other nutrients, and these substances are easily affected by sunlight, so the light-shielding property of the milk powder box cannot be ignored, otherwise the nutrition of the milk powder may be greatly reduced. When choosing, mothers can check the instructions on the milk powder box to see whether it has taken light-shielding measures.

2) Is it sealed?

If you want every mouthful of milk powder your baby eats to be fresh and not spoiled, preserving the milk powder after opening is a very critical step. This tests the sealing of the milk powder box. A milk powder box with good sealing can effectively ensure that the nutrients of the milk powder are not lost and prevent the milk powder from getting damp. On the contrary, a milk powder box with poor sealing is prone to leaking air, causing the milk powder to oxidize and deteriorate. The sealing of the milk powder box generally depends on the design of its lid, especially for a compartmentalized milk powder box with only one lid. Be sure to pay attention to whether each layer has an independent spiral sealing button to ensure that when taking one of the compartments, the other milk powder will not come into contact with the air. In addition, some milk powder boxes have added sealing rings at the opening, which not only improves the sealing effect, but also makes it difficult for the milk powder to leak out.

3) Is the lid easy to open?

If you want to make the preparation of milk powder more convenient, it depends on how the lid of the milk powder box is opened. Common milk powder boxes on the market usually use a spiral buckle to open. While ensuring the sealing, it is also convenient to twist it open, but the texture of the spiral mouth is prone to accumulation of milk powder, which is more troublesome to clean. It is recommended that mothers consider choosing a one-button opening method. This opening design only requires a light press, and the lid can pop up instantly, and the milk powder can be taken out in seconds, which is very convenient. It can effectively prevent mothers from being in a hurry when preparing milk powder, and it is also a more popular opening method now.

Warm reminder: the above 3 details can affect the use value of the milk powder box, and a good milk powder box must have good detail processing. Moms should pay more attention when choosing and can't be careless!

Is it necessary to buy milk powder boxes?

It depends on personal needs. It's mainly for convenience. My nephew was raised by his grandmother. My sister and her mother-in-law didn't know how much milk powder to make for one meal, so they put the amount for each meal in the milk powder box. Her box has three layers, which is enough for feeding in a day, so it's convenient. The older ones don't know how much the baby eats in one meal, so you can prepare it at home when you go out to work. This way, you won't waste too much or have to make too little and have to make it again. Mom, I've prepared one, and I think it's very convenient. Also, when you go out for a day, you only need to bring three meals a day, you don't have to bring a whole can, which saves you trouble.

How to store milk powder

1. Before preparing milk powder: wash hands and clean the preparation table

The mother's hands will come into direct contact with milk powder, milk bottles, milk spoons, etc. If they are not washed thoroughly before mixing milk powder, bacteria may contaminate the milk powder. Therefore, to ensure that the milk powder is not contaminated, the mother should wash her hands before mixing milk powder. In addition, the cleanliness of the mixing table is also related to the degree of contamination of the milk powder, because the mixing table has been placed with many items, and there are bacteria on the surface, which can easily contaminate the milk powder.

2. After opening the milk powder: place it in a dry and cool place away from light

Once the milk powder is opened, do not store it randomly. It is best to store it in a dark, dry and cool place. The reason why milk powder should be stored away from light is that light will destroy the vitamins in the milk powder, and it should be placed in a dry place because milk powder cannot be too close to water, otherwise it will easily become damp and deteriorate.

3. After using milk powder: pay attention to the sealing of the opening

After using the milk powder, seal it immediately. If it is packaged in an iron can, cover the seal with plastic wrap first, and then put on the lid; if it is packaged in a bag, clamp the bag mouth with a clip.

How long can milk powder be stored after opening?

Milk powder should be consumed as soon as possible after opening. For example, 400 grams of milk powder should be consumed within two weeks after opening, and 900 grams should be consumed within one month. It should also be stored in a sealed container.
