After the birth of a child, it is best to breastfeed as it is beneficial for the baby's health. Usually, it is time for a child to be weaned at the age of one. However, after weaning the baby, they should continue to be fed formula milk powder and should be fed until 2-3 years old. So, how many times should a one year old baby consume formula after weaning?
In the first few days after successfully weaning a one year old baby, the child will be very obsessed with formula milk. Therefore, on the first and second day after weaning, efforts should be made to satisfy the child as much as possible. As long as the baby wants formula milk, they can be fed without being limited by the number of feedings.
After the baby gradually adapts to weaning, they can eat milk powder three times a day. Eat once in the morning, once during afternoon tea, and the last time before bedtime. Try to let your baby eat complementary foods at other times. If the baby wakes up hungry at night, feeding formula is more appropriate at this time.
Generally, after weaning, the baby's appetite increases and they really want to eat formula. The baby may need to eat it every 2-3 hours a day, and it will only be slightly better after sleeping. However, giving babies only formula milk is not enough to meet their nutritional needs, and they are also prone to hunger. Therefore, it is necessary to add some complementary foods to children and choose foods that they love to eat. Parents should add a variety of complementary foods to their babies, and the softness and hardness of the food should be determined according to their age.
