What’s going on if there are so many bubbles in milk powder?

If a baby cannot drink breast milk, he has to drink milk powder. In this case, there are certain methods to make milk powder. Many first-time parents will see a lot of bubbles when making milk powder. There are many reasons for the bubbles in milk powder, among which human factors cannot be ruled out. This is a phenomenon that can be avoided when making milk powder. So what's the matter with the many bubbles in milk powder? Let’s take a look at it next.

1.What’s the matter with so many bubbles in milk powder?

1. Surface tension and viscosity of milk powder solution

Due to the surface tension and viscosity of the milk powder solution, more or less foam will be produced when stirring or mixing.

2. Protein

Protein is an essential nutrient in milk powder. The fresher the milk powder, the more active the protein is, and the easier it is to produce bubbles. When we beat eggs, a lot of bubbles will appear. This is because they are rich in whey protein.

3. Human factors

Due to natural reasons and the ingredients of milk powder, bubbles will inevitably be produced, but in fact, there are not many bubbles produced by these reasons. Most of them are caused by human factors. When preparing milk powder, bubbles may also be produced if the water temperature is too high, the container containing the milk powder is not smooth or has an irregular shape, the stirring or shaking is too strong or in the wrong direction, or the nipple hole is too large.

2. How to reduce the bubbles in milk powder?

1. Suitable water temperature:

Please read the instructions for preparing the milk powder carefully and use the temperature specified. Don't pour boiling water into the milk powder because you are afraid that the water temperature is not high enough to dissolve the milk powder.

2. The bottle should be clean:

You can mix the milk powder directly in the bottle. The key is to make sure it is smooth and without any corners. Wash it thoroughly before mixing.

3. Try to avoid using chopsticks or other tools for stirring:

On the one hand, this is not 100% clean. For example, if it carries dust or something, it will easily cause bubbles; and stirring itself will cause bubbles.

4. Shaking and dissolving are important:

The correct way to prepare milk powder is to hold the bottle with both hands and roll it back and forth. Remember to do it in a horizontal direction. Do not cover the bottle tightly and shake it up and down violently. When rolling the bottle, don't use too much force, so there will be fewer bubbles.

5. Feeding tools:

It is recommended that the opening of the baby's bottle should not be too large. If possible, it is best to choose anti-inflated nipples and bottles.

3. Notes

After the milk powder is prepared, you can leave it for a while to allow the bubbles naturally produced by the milk powder to disappear naturally before feeding it to your baby.
