Can the milk powder be diluted?

Some mothers have tried many methods but still cannot produce milk after giving birth, which makes the mothers very anxious. However, the more anxious they are, the less milk they may produce. Whether a mother can produce milk is also related to her mood. If a mother cannot produce milk, she can only feed the baby milk powder. There are certain requirements for making milk powder for the baby. Some mothers want to make the milk powder thinner. Can the milk powder be made thinner? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Can the milk powder be diluted?

When making milk powder, you must strictly follow the instructions on the amount of milk powder you put in, and do not put more or less.

2. How to prepare milk powder?

1. Cleaning utensils

First wash your hands with soap, fill a clean sterilizer 80% full with water, and prepare to heat it. Put heat-resistant glass bottles, tweezers and other utensils into a pot with cold water and boil them for 10 minutes. Then wrap the less heat-resistant utensils including nipples, milk caps, milk rings, etc. with gauze and put them into the pot and boil for about 5 minutes. After doing this, place the sterilized bottles in a clean place to dry before use.

2. Pour warm water into the bottle

Pour the required amount of warm boiled water into the bottle. The water temperature should be around 40°C. If it is boiling water, it is best to cool it for half an hour.

Moms should pay attention to pouring water first to ensure the accurate proportion. If you add the milk powder first, the ratio of water to milk powder will be wrong and the prepared milk will be too thick.

3. Measure the milk powder

It is best to use the spoon that comes in the milk powder package to measure milk powder, because the amount of milk powder measured with this spoon is just right. Different brands of milk powder may have different spoons, so they cannot be mixed. Take a clean knife and use the back of the knife to scrape the milk powder off the spoon. It would be best if there was such a smoothing tool in the milk powder box.

4. Dissolve in milk powder

Add the correct amount of milk powder to the bottle, pour the powder into the bottle, tighten the nipple, cover the bottle cap, and shake gently. Expectant mothers need to pay attention and not shake up and down, but shake left and right at a constant speed.

5. Check the temperature

The mother should first turn the bottle upside down and put a drop of milk on the inside of her hand to determine the appropriate temperature. If you need to cool the milk, you can hold the bottle, cover the nipple with the bottle cap, and rinse it under running water. In the first 1-2 seconds after feeding the bottle, the milk will flow out in a thin straight line, and then drop by drop. Be careful not to touch the nipple with your hand at this time.

3. Reminder

It is best to buy milk powder in a regular shopping mall.
