How to increase baby's resistance in autumn and winter

As the weather turns cold in autumn and winter, it is very important to improve the baby's resistance. Help the baby have a healthy physique through breast milk and a balanced diet.

Breastfeeding mothers can feed more breast milk

Everyone knows the benefits of breast milk, such as increasing the baby's resistance. At the same time, breast milk contains many natural nutrients, such as nucleotides, epithelial cell growth factor (EGF), immunoglobulins, etc., which are very helpful for the baby's protection.

The medical community has always encouraged mothers to breastfeed, especially if mothers can breastfeed for more than one year, it can also reduce the risk of breast cancer!

Start eating weaning food at four months

After the baby is four months old, it is time to prepare for the weaning stage. Weaning does not mean that the baby will no longer drink milk, but that the three meals will gradually become the staple food, and milk (breast milk or formula milk) will become a snack, because milk products contain calcium and vitamin B2, which are very important for the baby's growth!

The complementary foods for weaning can start with rice, sweet potato, pumpkin, rice flour, and malt flour. It is recommended to mix them into a paste and feed them to the baby with a small spoon, because the baby needs to practice chewing and swallowing skills at this stage, and paste foods are more suitable for babies.

Weaned babies can supplement goat milk products

As mentioned earlier, milk is still very important for weaned babies. Even when babies grow older, they still need to consume two cups of milk (400-500cc) every day. Goat milk is the ideal milk choice for babies, especially in the autumn and winter seasons. Drinking goat milk is very helpful in improving the baby's protection. First of all, the casein in goat milk is mainly β-casein (close to breast milk), so the curds formed by goat milk in the stomach and intestines are softer and more delicate than cow milk, which is easier to absorb and less likely to cause constipation.

Goat milk is also rich in nutrients, including nucleotides, glutamate, and taurine. These nutrients are good for improving physical strength and maintaining health. The secretion method of goat milk is similar to that of mothers' breast milk, which allows the baby to absorb more natural nutrients and help the baby maintain a healthy digestive tract.

Balanced nutrition intake, fruits and vegetables are essential

Balanced nutrition is the most important foundation of health. Mothers are advised to let their babies consume a variety of foods, especially vegetables and fruits every day. Fruits such as guava, kiwi, citrus, and cherry tomatoes are high in vitamin C and are very helpful in preventing colds.

Mom has questions

Q: Nutritionist, my child occasionally suffers from constipation. What kind of food should I eat to improve the constipation?

A: There are many factors that cause baby constipation. In terms of diet, you need to increase the intake of fiber, such as vegetables and fruits. If the child is over one year old, he or she should drink more water. In addition, adding rice/wheat flour containing dietary fiber and probiotics can also improve the condition. Finally, you need to develop the habit of regular bowel movements and let the baby sit on the toilet when the time is up.

Q: Children always want to eat candies and snacks when they see them. What should I do?

A: Candies and snacks contain a lot of refined sugar, spices and pigments, which are not good for the baby's health. Try to eat as little as possible. You can let your baby eat pure goat milk slices without added sucrose, spices and pigments instead, which will be healthier.
