If a baby cannot be breastfed after birth, it is necessary to purchase milk powder for the baby in a timely manner. Many women who have just become mothers actually do not know how to prepare formula milk. Nowadays, babies are paying attention to scientific feeding, so it is very important to determine the correct method of formula preparation. So how many milliliters of infant formula is appropriate?
The appropriate amount of formula for a baby depends on the baby's age, and more scientifically, the baby's weight. The scientific formula should be calculated based on the baby's weight and the formula ratio. Generally speaking, the weight of babies is similar, so there is no need to check their weight every day and calculate the amount of formula to be prepared. Instead, formula can be prepared based on the baby's age.
When mixing, 30 milliliters of warm water can be added to each spoonful of milk powder. It is important to ensure that the water is warm, as too hot water can damage the nutrition of the milk powder, and too cold water can be uncomfortable for babies.
Generally speaking, infants aged 15-30 days can consume 60-100 milliliters per meal, and 100-150 milliliters of formula can be prepared per kilogram of body weight. According to this ratio, babies from one month to two months old need to mix 80-100 milliliters of milk powder each time, and breastfeed six or seven times a day. At this time, some babies can breastfeed 150 milliliters each time. During the two to three month period, babies should be fed 150-200 milliliters of milk each time, five or six times a day. When a baby is 3-5 months old, they need to mix 150-200 milliliters of formula every time, feeding them five times a day. When they are five or six months old, they need to mix 200-250 milliliters of formula every time, preferably not exceeding 1000 milliliters per day. Usually, after feeding for five to six months, the baby can add complementary foods.
