Milk and dairy products are important sources of high-quality protein, calcium, vitamin B2, vitamin A and other nutrients for children. Milk is rich in calcium, which is more conducive to human absorption under the promotion of lactose and a small amount of vitamin D. It is the most ideal calcium supplement food in nature. Adequate calcium in children can promote bone development, so children need natural calcium supplements such as milk every day. At the same time, milk protein is rich in lysine, which is an excellent supplement to grain protein, but the content of iron and vitamin C in milk is low, and these nutrients need to be supplemented by enough meat, fruits and vegetables.
It is more appropriate for children to drink 300 ~ 600 ml of milk every day, either at dinner or as a meal between meals. The principle is not to delay the amount of food for dinner.
Children should mainly drink pure milk, and sugary milk or even milk drinks are not suitable for children to drink often. Protein content is above 2.9g/ 100g, and only "raw milk" is in the ingredient list. It is the most natural milk with the most complete nutrition and is suitable for growing children. Milk beverage with protein content less than 2.3g/ 100g does not have the nutrition of milk. The protein content of most milk drinks is only 1g/ 100g, and a lot of water, sugar, various condiments and food additives are added, which is not conducive to children's nutritional supplement and growth. Excessive drinking will also increase the risk of dental caries and obesity, so children should try to stop drinking such drinks.
Children who don't use it drink different amounts of milk.
1, 1-2 years old, drinking 500ml a day can meet the nutritional needs;
2, 2-6 years old, drink 350-500ml a day, which can meet the nutritional needs;
3. Older children and adults can meet their nutritional needs by drinking 300ml every day.
4. The height of a child has little to do with milk, 80% is inherited, and the other 20% is related to exercise, sleep and mental state. Milk is just a way to supplement nutrition.
The above are some suggestions for breastfeeding your child, I hope it will help you.
