After the baby is born, the food with high energy and complete nutrition is needed to meet the needs of growth and development of the body. There are two kinds of food that babies can eat, one is breast milk, the other is milk powder.
Breast milk is the most suitable food for the baby, this is because: breast milk contains more than 400 nutrients, can be better absorbed by the baby, can give the baby enough energy to promote its growth and development; Breast milk contains a large number of immune active substances, can improve the baby's body resistance, improve the baby's physique.
Mothers also understand the importance of breast milk, but for a variety of reasons, breastfeeding is not possible. This kind of phenomenon also is not a few, according to relevant department statistic, the proportion that our country does not breastfeed is, city 40%, country, town 30%. These babies can only choose milk powder as food.
When you go to the shopping mall to buy milk powder, you will find that the brands of milk powder are full of beautiful things in eyes, and the price is uneven, there are 200 pieces, there are also 400 pieces, why is the price difference of milk powder so big?
When we consult a shopping guide with questions, he will say, "you get what you pay for. The expensive one is better than the cheap one!" Mothers also tend to be able to afford the most expensive ones, believing that the most expensive ones are nutritious and safe to eat. There is a full-time bao ma, no source of income, when she chooses milk powder will also choose 400 yuan, she said, "other people's baby drink 400 yuan, my baby can not lag behind, if lost in the starting line, regret too late."
Expensive milk powder must be good? A friend who has been selling milk powder for more than 10 years, and is an expert, told the truth.
What is the difference between the milk powder of 200 pieces and the milk powder of 400 pieces
advertising
When we are watching TV, we will often see some milk powder advertisements. Some beautiful children eat white fat, which often attract our attention. We are familiar with this brand of milk powder, and we may be particularly inclined to this brand when we choose it. You need to know that advertising requires a lot of advertising money, which also needs to be paid by consumers.
The cost of advertising is naturally a large gap, some of the production is very beautiful, some of the production is relatively simple; Some are long, some are short; Some only play once a day, some roll on; Some in prime time, some in low ratings; Some ask stars to speak, some ask ordinary people to record; Some are on national TV stations and some are on local TV stations. These differences will lead to a large gap in advertising costs. The higher the advertising costs, the higher the milk powder price.
brand
Some big brands of milk powder are indeed more expensive than small brands. On the one hand, it is a problem of brand influence, on the other hand, the production cost of big manufacturers is relatively high.
Large manufacturers in the selection of milk source requirements are more stringent, milk source cost is high. In the development of milk formula, it needs better research strength and technology, and the research cost is high. In the production process of milk powder, each process is strictly controlled, requiring more personnel and more tests, with higher labor cost and testing cost. In the process of selling milk powder, there are more sales channels and higher sales costs. The combination of these factors results in the high price of milk powder.
ingredients
The selling point of different milk powder is different, some will add DHA, lutein, probiotics and other special nutrients, claiming to play a role in intelligence, eyesight protection, intestinal protection. Still have the meeting makes milk powder according to the baby of different situation, some want to strengthen amino acid alone, some want to prevent baby to get angry, these processing should add raw material, increase working procedure, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.
The addition of these additional elements, no capital is certainly not good, is bound to lead to an increase in costs. Some milk powder will add a nutrient, some will add several nutrients, the more the cost will be higher, the price of milk powder is also up.
milk
The main ingredient of milk powder is raw milk, and the source of raw milk is an important factor affecting the price of milk powder. Some raw milk comes from ordinary cattle farms, others from organic cattle farms, and the more strictly the cattle farms are managed, the more expensive raw milk becomes.
Like some organic farms, they are very tightly managed. First of all, the location is very important, to stay away from environmental pollution of industrial areas, to avoid water quality and grassland pollution. The herbage should be pure natural, and no pesticides or chemical fertilizers should be used. They should also listen to music and offer more humanistic care. This management ensures the health of the cows and thus provides better raw milk. But at the same time virtually increased the cost, can only share this part of the cost into the milk powder, milk powder price increased.
These differences are objective, but 200 yuan and 400 yuan price polarization, can not say that 400 yuan is certainly better than 200 yuan advantage can be 2 times. Because milk powder after all is milk powder is not breast milk, is only a substitute for breast milk, even if the propaganda said that milk powder is "scientific", also can not meet the needs of every child like breast milk. Mothers should keep their eyes open and choose the right formula for their baby, rather than blindly choosing expensive formula.
Insider tells you how to choose milk powder
We have learned the difference between 200 pieces of milk powder and 400 pieces of milk powder, so we should be more rational when choosing milk powder. It is best to consider the following factors when choosing a milk powder for children.
1. Look at the stages
When choosing milk powder for the baby, age should be taken into consideration first. You can't just buy a bucket for the baby to drink. Some parents do not pay attention to this problem, all of a sudden to the children store a lot of milk powder, the result will cause two kinds of situation: the baby drank milk powder is not suitable for the impact of development; To a certain age of drinking, resulting in waste.
Milk powder for infants is generally divided into 3 sections.
1 paragraph: for 0-6 months 2 paragraph: for 6-12 months 3 paragraph: for 1-3 years old
Different stages of milk powder nutrients are different, taste is also different. The nutrition that the baby needs in different development stage is different, breast milk can adjust by oneself according to the body condition of the baby, milk can rely on section to undertake distinguishing only. The smaller the number of milk powder is easier to digest and absorb, the lighter the taste, suitable for babies. With the development and improvement of the baby's gastrointestinal function, it is suitable to choose milk powder with a large number of segments. These milk powder macromolecular substances increase to meet the baby's more nutritional needs.
Look at the ingredients
Pay attention to the ingredients list, the closer to the ingredients of breast milk, the better. The whey protein in breast milk, lactose, taurine, AA and DHA, nucleotide, lutein are what the baby needs most, want to see the content of these component in milk powder.
Nutrition facts in the general list to indicate calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and other basic nutrients. Vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, part of the B vitamins. Trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus and so on. It would be ideal to label additional nutrients.
Of course, nutrients should be maintained at the appropriate level, not the more the better. Scientific studies have shown that when babies are given different amounts of DHA, the more DHA they get, the better. For other nutrients, such as minerals, eating too much can actually be harmful.
For example, glucose should not be added to formula milk, because glucose will increase the osmotic pressure of formula milk, which is easy to cause diarrhea. Fructose should not be added. Fructose can increase the risk of fructose intolerance in babies. Palm oil should not be added. Palm oil is a saturated fat and should be removed.
3. Look at the quality
Check the manufacture date and warranty period of milk powder. Generally, the manufacturing date and warranty period of canned milk powder are marked on the tank or the bottom of the can respectively, while the bagged milk powder is marked on the side of the bag or on the seal respectively. Please pay attention to see whether the milk powder is within the warranty period, and avoid choosing expired or temporary products.
For packaged milk powder, squeeze the package to see if there is a leak. The bagged milk powder has poor gas resistance and is prone to deterioration. Squeeze with both hands when buying. If there is leakage of air, powder or no air in the bag, it means that the bag has latent quality problems. Do not buy. At the same time with the hand to pinch the packaging, such as soft smooth feel and a sense of flow, it is a qualified product, such as feel uneven, and irregular size of the block, then the product is a deteriorated product.
For canned milk powder, can not squeeze the pinching, by shaking the way of inspection. If you hear the rustle of the flow of the sound of quality, if you hear the sound of the impact of the tank, then if there is a caking in milk powder, do not choose. Generally speaking, canned milk powder has a better sealing performance and can effectively inhibit the growth of various bacteria.
