Baby's food intake varies at different stages, which causes many parents to be distressed about how much milk should be fed in moderation. So, what is the milk production of a 17 month old baby?
Firstly, for babies with a normal appetite, one hundred milliliters is already sufficient to meet their normal need for a single milk drink. But when encountering some babies with large appetites, it is advisable to increase milk intake appropriately. It is recommended for a 17 month old baby to have no less than 600 milliliters throughout the day.
Secondly, when a baby eats too much, it will send some special signals to the mother, but inexperienced mothers cannot distinguish them. Mothers should pay close attention to their babies crying, not sleeping, and crying every two to three hours. Because this situation is likely due to the baby overeating and feeling unwell. Also, when the baby does not breastfeed for several hours in a row, the mother should pay attention, as this situation may also be due to the baby eating too much.
Finally, there are some adjustment methods for babies who have eaten too much. Mothers can delay the feeding time while reducing the amount of milk to prevent the baby from crying when they arrive like before. Mothers need to come slowly, but it's also a way. Mothers can also reduce their baby's milk intake to a sufficient level while sleeping at night. Babies are more likely to feel sleepy at night, even if they eat less milk, they won't notice it, which is easier than adjusting them throughout the day.
