Recently, a celebrity blogger's statement on social media caused public outrage. He bluntly stated that rice water can completely replace formula and breast milk.This blogger posted on social media, claiming that cooking rice soup using ancient methods can completely replace milk powder and breast milk. He claimed that children who drink milk powder have smelly stools, cry easily, and are prone to edema. Let the baby drink rice soup until 10 months old, and then switch to lotus root porridge..
Zhong Kai, a member of the Standing Committee of the Health Communication Branch of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine, said in an interview with the media that there was no infant formula in ancient times, so when there was no breast milk, he might think of some expedients, one of which was rice soup. But there is one fact that everyone must not forget. In our ancient times, the mortality rate of infants and young children was very high. In addition to some disease factors, a very important reason is that if the child has insufficient breast milk, or even no breast milk, his nutrition will not be able to keep up.
"Rice soup is relatively lacking in protein, fat and energy, and some trace elements such as iron and calcium are also far from sufficient. Vitamin D is almost non-existent, so if such ingredients are fed to infants and young children, they must be severely malnourished."
