For little babies, eating is also a top priority. Many parents just can’t figure it out, especially new parents, the little baby also can’t talk, don’t know how to be considered full, don’t eat will not be low blood sugar and so on. Today, we will mainly talk about those things about the amount of milk for babies of each age group. How to grasp the amount of milk? The amount of milk mentioned here includes breastfeeding and formula feeding, excluding preterm feeding. Breastfed babies should be breastfed regularly during the day to increase milk production and the amount of milk can be regulated automatically. However, formula-fed babies are easy to overfeed, so mastering the amount of milk is also an important lesson for new parents. For babies up to 3 months old, the daily milk quantity is 500ml~750ml, divided into 8 times, each time 60ml~90ml. each baby’s demand is different, it should be based on individual situation. Babies of this age are mostly fed on demand, gradually adjusting to feeding on time. For newborn babies (born 0~28d), when the duration of sleep at night is more than 3 hours, it is necessary to wake up the baby for breastfeeding. 4~6 months old 800ml~1000ml of milk per day, babies of this age have been adjusted to be fed on time, every 3~4 hours, about 6 times a day. 7~9 months old babies Different kinds of food in the red list can be tried, complementary feeding 2 times a day, breastfeeding or formula feeding 4~6 times a day, 600ml in total; Gradually up to 1 egg yolk, 50g of meat, poultry and fish; Moderate amount of iron-fortified rice powder, thick porridge, rotten noodles and other cereals; Vegetables and fruits to be tried and gradually stop night feeding. Babies aged 10~12 months should have 2~3 complementary foods added every day, breastfeeding or formula feeding 3~4 times, with a daily milk intake of about 600 ml; 1 egg, 50g of meat, poultry and fish; moderate amount of iron-fortified rice flour, thick porridge, soft rice, steamed bread and other cereals; try different kinds of vegetables and fruits; increase the amount of food according to the needs of babies; try crumbling vegetables or nibbling on bananas, boiled potatoes and carrots by themselves, and so on. Babies aged 13 to 24 months should eat three meals a day with their families, ensuring about 500 ml of milk a day; one egg, 50 to 75 grams of meat, poultry and fish; about 50 to 100 grams of cereals such as soft rice, noodles, steamed buns and iron-fortified rice powder; continue to try different kinds of vegetables and fruits, and try to nibble on slices of fruits or boiled chunks of vegetables. How do I know if my baby is full? On the basis of giving enough milk as mentioned above, whether your baby is full or not is directly related to height and weight gain. Some parents may wonder why their babies don’t gain weight even though they have eaten so much. There are many reasons for this, which will be explained in detail later. What are the signs of insufficient milk intake? Substandard weight gain. Breastfed babies take less than 10 minutes for each feeding. Babies urinate less than 6 times a day. Babies have irregular bowel movements, with small, dry and hard stools. How to calculate the amount of milk a formula-fed baby eats? Although it seems to be relatively simple, many parents inquire whether the amount of milk for formula milk is based on the amount of water or the amount of milk after adding water to the formula milk. The amount of milk for formula milk is calculated according to the amount of water and milk powder after mixing. How to calculate the amount of milk for breastfed babies? Many parents say that breastfeeding is not like formula feeding where there is a scale on the bottle, so breastfeeding is not sure how much the baby eats, so how to calculate it? In this case, the mother can use a breast pump to suck out the breast milk to see how much there is. On the issue of milk quantity, the above amount serves as a reference, and each child eats different amounts of milk and should be treated differently. Therefore, mothers don’t need to be too precise and entangled, which will easily lead to force-feeding. For example, the baby will enter the anorexia period around 4 months, or a little older will be uncomfortable because of teething, this time the amount of milk will drop appropriately, this time force-feeding but will eat less. One mom said that her baby’s milk supply gradually normalized since she didn’t obsess over the amount of milk so precisely.
