Nowadays, the living standards of babies are much better than before. Whether it is formula feeding or breastfeeding, this condition exists. However, for new mothers, the amount of formula fed is also a headache, especially formula. So, how much formula should a 2-month-old baby feed? Let's learn about it together below.
How much formula does a 2-month-old baby feed
The intake of infant formula has a certain range. For a 2-month-old baby, it is generally between 100-150Ml per feeding, with an interval of 2-3 hours between feedings. Observe the child's condition after feeding, and if diarrhea occurs, reduce the amount of food fed. A two month old baby has a small stomach, so parents should decide how much formula to use based on their child's usual milk intake. If they eat too much each time, they should soak more, while if they eat very little formula each time, they should soak less.
Precautions for Babies Eating Infant Formula
1. Do not change milk powder frequently. Children's stomachs are relatively delicate. In the early stages of changing formula, it can cause a decrease in the baby's intake of formula, indigestion, and even diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, etc.
2. When preparing milk powder for babies, it is important to pay attention to hygiene. First, wash hands and disinfect the bottle. The water temperature should be around 40 degrees Celsius, neither too cold nor too hot.
The proportion of formula milk should also be well controlled. Mixing too thin or too thick can also lead to uneven absorption of nutrients by the baby. On average, one spoonful of milk powder requires about 30 milliliters of warm water.
