How much does the baby eat every day? Growing up every day, what should be the increase in milk volume? These are the issues that mothers are most concerned about.
If you want to know how much your baby will be full, you must first understand your baby's stomach capacity.
Secondly, it is necessary to know the emptying time of neonatal small stomach.
Newborn babies eat very, very little. Some parents give their babies 100ML milk! ! ! I still think this is the right thing to do! Imagine what it's like to pour 100ML of water into peas? ! Think about it and feel that the baby is uncomfortable!
In fact, every baby should be fed on demand, not on time, not according to the "amount that adults think"; Especially for breast-fed babies, breast milk digests quickly and the stomach capacity is small, so they are hungry too, so feed them when they are hungry!
How to feed on demand?
1, a few days after the baby is born
2. Baby 15 days -4 months
3. The baby is 4 months old-1 year old
Warm heart tips:
1, every time the milk intake reaches 120ml, the baby will gradually form a regular feeding schedule.
2. Breastfed babies usually eat less than formula babies, but they eat more frequently and frequently. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers must be more patient! Don't even think that this is a sign that breast milk is not enough for babies to eat ~ give yourself confidence!
3, the baby's milk can not exceed 960ml within 24 hours. Some babies show higher demand, probably just because they want to meet the demand for sucking.
4. After the baby is 6 months old, breast milk and formula milk can no longer fully meet his nutritional needs, so it is necessary to start adding complementary food.
5. After the baby adds complementary food, it is still necessary to ensure that his daily intake of milk is not less than 600ml.
How to judge that the baby is full?
1, feeding times
After birth 1-2 months, the baby needs to eat 8- 10 times a day, and at least 8 times a day for 3 months.
2, the number of urine
Urine more than 5 times a day in 24 hours (at least 6 diapers, including stool), and breast-feed more than 6 times.
3, stool
Stool 2-4 times a day, and the shape is yellow soft stool.
4. Weight
Babies within 6 months gain an average weight of125g ~ 200g per week; Babies older than 6 months gain an average of 500 grams per month.
5. Emotion
Jokes are free, the mood is good, and there is no constant inexplicable crying (excluding illness).
6. Sleep
Can sleep peacefully for 3-4 hours.
Finally, remember that no matter breast-feeding or formula-feeding, each baby's needs are unique. There is no book and no one can tell you exactly how much, how often and how to feed your baby. You are the one who knows your baby best.
