2.Check the source of milk: The global golden milk source belt includes the Netherlands, New Zealand, Ireland and other places. Pay attention to whether specific pastures are marked.
3.Identify craftsmanship: The wet process is fresher, the dry process is easier to preserve, and the latest microcapsule technology can better retain nutrients.
4.Test tolerance: New milk powder should follow the "3-day observation method" and pay attention to defecation and skin reactions.
5.Select a rank: The formulas of each level are significantly different and cannot be used across stages. The conversion to milk needs to be done step by step.

5. The debate of the century between fresh milk and formula milk
Recently, a famous internet doctor's opinion that "you can drink fresh milk after 1 year old" sparked heated discussions:
Support the fresh milk side’s point of view:
• Fewer additives and processing steps
• Obvious price advantage (more than 60% cost saving)
• European Union countries generally recommend drinking for 1 year old+
Support the formula milk perspective:
• Fortified with iron, zinc and other nutrients that Chinese babies are easily deficient in
• Protein molecules are easier to digest and absorb
• Clinical data show better growth curve
Expert advice: If you choose fresh milk, you need to ensure that your baby consumes enough red meat, fish and other complementary foods every day to make up for the nutritional gap.
Conclusion:There is no absolute standard for milk powder selection. The key is to observe the baby's individual reaction. Regular growth and development assessment is more important than blindly pursuing high-priced milk powder. It is recommended to communicate with the pediatrician every 3 months about the feeding plan and make timely adjustments according to changes in the baby.
