Every mother should pay attention to observing the amount of milk in her baby. As long as the baby has sufficient milk, it can provide better nutrition to the body, so that the baby can grow up healthy. But most mothers have no experience in raising their babies for the first time, and they are not sure how much milk their babies need to drink. What is the amount of milk a 6-month-old baby needs once?
After 6 months, babies will start adding complementary foods. With the addition of complementary foods, it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of milk produced by the baby. The specific amount of milk should also refer to the amount of complementary foods consumed by the baby. According to the milk intake of most babies, they should drink about 4-5 times a day, with each time around 180-200 milliliters. Then adding complementary foods once more can meet the nutritional needs for the whole day.
If it is a breastfed baby, the specific amount of milk is even more difficult to grasp. Mothers can observe the duration of each feeding session for their babies, with each feeding lasting within half an hour, and can hear the sound of the baby swallowing milk clearly, indicating that the baby is able to eat enough. In addition to breastfeeding, remember to add some complementary foods to your baby.
At 6 months old, the complementary food available to the baby is still very limited, and only suitable for porridge, rice paste, Rice noodles and other complementary food. These complementary food are thin, soft and easy to digest, suitable for the gastrointestinal state of the baby at 6 months old. After adding complementary foods to the baby, the mother should also pay attention to the baby's gastrointestinal condition. If the baby experiences gastrointestinal discomfort, complementary foods should be temporarily suspended.
