he has ascended to a higher plane of existence, drinking milk in 4 dimensions

Many smart moms think of the refrigerator and think that storing milk powder in the refrigerator can be stored for a long time. However, this approach is actually incorrect! Because milk powder is dry and easy to absorb moisture, if it is put in the refrigerator, it will become damp. So, how to store milk powder after opening?

Today I will talk to you about the storage methods of milk powder!

The main points of milk powder storage after opening

1. Milk powder cannot be placed in the refrigerator

Many moms think that putting milk powder in the refrigerator can be stored for a long time. This is incorrect. The refrigerator is a small, closed, low-temperature and humid environment. There are differences in temperature and humidity between inside and outside, making milk powder very easy to absorb moisture. When milk powder is stored in the refrigerator for a long time, it is very susceptible to moisture, agglomeration, and deterioration, which will affect the drinking effect. Moreover, the refrigerator is not a sterile box, and there are also many bacteria in it, which can contaminate the milk powder through the gap after opening the can.

In fact, milk powder should be kept indoors in a dark, clean, dry and cool environment. After opening the packaged milk powder, it is best to store it in a clean milk powder can and keep it dry.

2. Remember to cover the lid

Milk powder is rich in nutrients, and if it is exposed to the air for a long time, it will attract many small bugs. If the mother did not pay attention at the time, it will leave hidden dangers for the baby’s health. Therefore, mothers should close the lid of the milk powder immediately after taking the milk powder.

3. Remember not to use old cans

The bagged milk powder of the same brand is much cheaper than the bottled ones, and many mothers use old cans to pack new milk powder. In fact, a lot of old milk powder remains hidden in a corner invisible to the naked eye. Even if you buy milk powder in a bag, you can still keep it fresh as long as it is clamped with a clip after taking the milk powder. In order to facilitate the preservation and collection of milk powder, it is best to store the packaged milk powder in a clean milk powder tank after opening. The milk powder tank should be wiped with a clean, dry cotton towel before use. Do not wash with water.

4. Eating within one month after opening

Due to different high-temperature processing techniques and packaging materials, the storage conditions and shelf life of the products will definitely be different. After opening the package, the milk powder must follow the rules of use time. Most infant milk powder packages have clear regulations. The milk powder should be used up within one month after opening. After opening, it is best not to consume it for more than one month to avoid deterioration of the milk powder.

5. The remaining milk powder cannot be put back into the milk powder can

Novice moms are not sure about the amount of milk powder, and often take out more, so she is reluctant to throw it away and put it back in. Mommy must remember that this little habit of saving must be changed. Don’t pour it back because the milk powder is too much, because the taken out milk powder is very easy to be contaminated with external bacteria, so it should not be put back into the milk powder can.

6. How to prevent milk powder from getting wet?

In order to prevent the milk powder from getting damp, keep your hands dry when preparing the milk powder. After scooping the milk powder, immediately cover the lid or tighten the bag to prevent water droplets from entering the milk powder.

If the milk powder has agglomerates, tap it with a spoon a few times, and the agglomeration will be broken up, indicating that there is no problem and it can be safely brewed for the baby. But if there are large, hard lumps or a moldy smell, it should not be given to the baby. In addition, you can put a few cube sugars in the canned milk powder, because the cubes have the effect of absorbing moisture.

       There are many types of milk powder,which can well solve the problem of insufficient breast milk, so it is deeply loved by people. However, the milk powder needs to be kept at room temperature, dry, and cool during storage, and consumed within the shelf life, so that the milk powder can be preserved to the greatest extent.

　　 Today’s science and technology are changing with each passing day, and more and more products appear in people’s lives. Milk powder is a well-known artificial product. There are many types of milk powder,containing  high nutritional value, comprehensive vitamins and other nutrients, which can be a good substitute for breast milk. Because of its various advantages, milk powder has become the choice of many families. However, milk powder is expensive, especially imported milk powder, which is even more expensive. Therefore, milk powder should be consumed as soon as possible after purchase. Long-term storage will cause unnecessary waste and deterioration. At this time, the storage of milk powder has become a concern of many people.

How to store milk powder in summer so that it is not easy to deteriorate?

　　 1. The milk powder should be consumed as soon as possible after opening the package and must be consumed within the shelf life.

　　2. Store at room temperature. Many  moms and dads will choose to put the milk powder in the universal refrigerator for storage. But on the contrary, storage at room temperature is more conducive to milk powder storage.

　　 3. Store in the dark. Avoid direct sunlight, place the milk powder bottle in a dark place, and use non-transparent bottles. This is to prevent sunlight from destroying the nutrients in the milk powder.

　　 4. Dry and store. Milk powder that has never been opened is sealed, but it still needs to be kept dry. Whether the milk powder can is opened or not, it needs to be kept dry. This is because the milk powder will agglomerate and deteriorate, lose nutrients, and rust the milk powder can.

　　 5. Store in a cool shade. Storage in a cool shade does not prevent the decomposition of nutrients with poor thermal stability and cause deterioration.

   Tips to prevent the deterioration of milk powder!

　　 1. Canned milk powder generally has an isolation film on the lid. Once the milk powder tank is opened, the isolation film will immediately lose its function. At this time, the isolation film should be removed to prevent the milk powder in the tank from being contaminated.

　　2. Put a cube sugar in the milk powder.It  can to absorb moisture and prevent the milk powder from absorbing moisture and agglomerating.

　　3. One can, one package, the milk powder cans are not reused. No matter how clean it is, there will still be bacteria. Not reusing the milk powder can can effectively reduce cross-infection.

Summer is coming, and many mothers have encountered such a situation: milk powder agglomerates after eating, forming clumps . They all think that the quality of the product is a problem, but we don’t know that many of us don’t pay attention in our daily lives. The small details may also cause the milk powder to agglomerate.

1. Put milk powder in the refrigerator

The temperature in summer is high, and many mothers are worried about the deterioration of milk powder and put it in the refrigerator. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this. On the contrary, the refrigerator environment is humid and bacteria are also present. It may also accelerate the occurrence of agglomeration and deterioration of milk powder. Because of the large difference in temperature and humidity inside and outside the refrigerator, coupled with frequent daily picking and placing, milk powder is more likely to absorb moisture in the air and cause agglomeration and deterioration, so baby’s milk powder must not be placed in the refrigerator!

2. Improper operation when foaming milk powder

When brewing milk powder, many parents put the spoon in the milk bottle so that the milk powder does not leak out, so that water drops are easy to get. When they are scooped again, the water drops will be brought into the milk powder, and the milk spoon will also be full. This will also cause the milk powder to clump.

3. placed in the air-conditioning outlet

Many people know that it is not enough to put milk powder in the refrigerator, but the home is too hot, so let’s put the air conditioner on. However, the practice of putting milk powder in the air vent is also wrong. The alternation of hot and cold tends to cause the milk powder to agglomerate, and it is more likely to cause the invasion of bacteria.

4. do not cover the lid of the milk tank after brewing milk powder

Some parents are accustomed to cover the lid after brewing milk powder. Because the milk powder in the jar is open at this time, it is easy to attract insects and other foreign objects. Infant milk powder is more likely to be “successful” because of its rich nutrition and high protein content. Therefore, it is recommended to close the lid or tie the bag tightly after scooping out the milk powder when brewing milk powder. The spoon and milk powder should also be stored separately to avoid moisture when the spoon touches the bottle.

The baby’s intestines and stomach are very fragile, especially in summer, the child is prone to indigestion and other conditions. In addition, some babies have poor gastrointestinal tract and  diarrhea, which are very detrimental to the growth and development of the baby, and it is easy to make the child malnourished. So, what kind of milk powder is good for babies with poor stomach?

If the baby’s stomach is not good, he should drink milk powder whose nutrients are easily digested and absorbed by the intestine. Parents can choose milk powder with prebiotics for their children, or buy milk powder with a light taste, which can reduce the metabolic burden on the child’s gastrointestinal tract and allow the stomach to smoothly absorb the nutrients in the milk powder. Moreover, prebiotics can help increase the value of intestinal probiotics, and can also promote intestinal peristalsis.

If the baby’s stomach is not good, parents can also choose milk powder with probiotics for their children. Probiotics can use the food residues of the child’s gastrointestinal tract to synthesize nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids and short-chain fatty acids, and can also generate organic acids through metabolism, which can greatly improve the digestion ability of the child’s intestines and can also enhance the absorption capacity of nutrients.

Probiotics can inhibit the reproduction and growth of harmful bacteria, prevent food fermentation and corruption, can effectively improve the symptoms of abdominal pain caused by indigestion, and can also avoid the occurrence of diarrhea.
