Only by eating well can babies grow up healthy and not inferior to other babies of the same age. But some mothers are not proficient in feeding their babies and do not know how much milk they should feed. If the feeding amount is incorrect, the baby may have a lighter weight, so let's take a look at how much milk a 1-year-old baby feeds per meal?
The baby's stomach capacity is very small at birth, and as they grow older, their stomach gradually expands. A baby born 1-2 days ago has a stomach capacity of approximately 5-13ml, about the size of a cherry; After 3-6 days, the stomach capacity increases and can hold 22-27ml of milk, about the size of a small strawberry; After one week, the stomach capacity of the baby has increased significantly, reaching 60ml, and can reach 120ml after confinement; After one month, the baby's stomach capacity continues to increase, reaching 240ml at six months and will not grow again thereafter.
Therefore, when feeding babies, mothers must not have the mentality of eating their stomachs all at once. From 1-15 days after birth, it is recommended to consume 5-7ml of milk each time on the first day; After 4-5 days, you can eat 30ml of milk, and then one week later, the mother can feed the baby 60-90ml of milk. The recommended number of feedings for babies is once every 3-4 hours. It can be fed 8-12 times a day.
In short, babies should not tell their parents that they have not eaten enough when they are young. In order to avoid overfeeding and affecting the baby's health, it is recommended that parents master more scientific feeding knowledge to help the baby grow up healthy. If a one month old baby has been sleeping for 4 hours, the mother can wake them up and breastfeed them.
