Parents must understand the situation of their babies being breastfed, as only when their babies are breastfed can their bodies grow up healthy. Many parents may not know how to calculate their baby's milk intake and cannot master scientific feeding methods, which may affect their baby's growth and development. So, let's learn about how to calculate a baby's daily milk intake at night? The specific content is as follows:
Does a baby's daily milk intake count towards the night
The baby's daily milk intake is calculated for the night. Generally, the baby is fed according to their needs, and the following standards can be used as a reference:
1. The amount of infant feeding in the first few days of birth
The amount of infant feeding can be calculated based on the weight of the baby per kilogram, with 100-200 milliliters given daily.
2. Infant feeding volume from 15 days to one month old
If the baby's digestion is normal, they can eat pure milk, which is about 100-150 milliliters per kilogram of body weight, and about 60-100 milliliters per meal.
3. Infant feeding volume from one month to two months old
The amount of milk gradually increases according to body weight, fed 6-7 times a day, with an interval of 3 to 5 hours between each feeding, and about 80-120 milliliters per meal. Up to 150 milliliters can be consumed.
4. Feeding amount for infants aged two to three months
Feed 5-6 times a day, every four hours, with 150-200 milliliters of milk each time.
5. Feeding amount for infants aged three to six months
Feed 5 times a day, every four hours, with a feeding amount of 150-200 milliliters per meal for three to five months and 200-250 milliliters per meal for five to six months. The total amount of milk should be monitored, with no more than 1000 milliliters per day and no more than 250 milliliters per meal. Start feeding complementary foods before breastfeeding at four months.
6. Feeding amount for infants aged six to nine months
Feed once every four hours with 200-250 milliliters of milk each time, changing from four to three servings of milk per day, gradually increasing the use of complementary foods from replacing half a meal to replacing one meal of milk. The sugar content gradually decreases.
What should I do if my baby doesn't drink milk
1. The most basic way to create a feeding environment is to observe under what circumstances the baby eats most ideally, and then create the most suitable feeding environment for the baby. Most babies prefer to concentrate on feeding in a quiet, undisturbed place. Mom must stay light
2. The relaxed and happy mood is due to the baby feeling the impact of the feeder's tense emotions while eating.
3. Providing love and encouragement to the baby will help them have a better eating mood.
4. Never resort to any means necessary to force food, force or get angry, as it can cause the baby to cry and end up crying. This is the dumbest method and often backfires.
The baby's milk intake is calculated at night, and the amount of milk consumed by the baby at each stage has been introduced in the article above. Parents can refer to this, as each baby may have some differences in their development. As long as they drink milk properly, have no discomfort, and have a normal body weight, it is sufficient. If the baby does not drink milk, parents can take some measures to help the baby.
