Generally, when a baby reaches ten months old, the amount of milk fed will increase than before, probably between 120 and 150 ml each time. Due to supplementary food, the number of times the baby drinks milk every day also increases. It will be reduced accordingly, around 4 to 5 times. This also requires the mother to add complementary food to the baby between every two feedings, and the baby should eat complementary food about three times a day.
During this month, the baby can already hold things to squat and stand up, and the amount of exercise has become greater. The nutrition he needs is also greater than before, and the mother needs a reasonable combination of complementary food and milk. Avoid delaying the baby's normal physical development.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the baby absorbs enough water every day. After eating complementary food, the baby needs a lot of water to digest these foods. When the body's demand for water is not met, it will cause constipation in the baby. The mother also needs to observe the number of bowel movements of the baby every day. During this period, the baby's bowel movements have become regular. The number of bowel movements is about 1 to 2 times. Too much or too little requires attention.
Dietary precautions during lactation:
1. Sufficient supply of high-quality protein should be provided during lactation. Animal foods such as eggs, poultry, fish, etc. can provide high-quality protein and should be eaten more.
2. During lactation, you should try to have a complete range of food, avoid being partial to eclipse, and increase the quantity accordingly to ensure adequate intake of nutrients. This means that in addition to eating staple cereals, non-staple food should be diversified, and 4-5 meals a day is appropriate.
3. During breastfeeding, you should consume enough fresh vegetables, fruits and seaweed. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain a variety of vitamins, inorganic salts, cellulose, pectin, organic acids and other ingredients. Seaweed can also provide an appropriate amount of iodine.
4. During lactation, you should eat more calcium-rich foods. Nursing mothers have a large calcium requirement and need to pay special attention to supplementing it. Milk and dairy products have the highest calcium content and are easy to absorb and utilize. A certain amount should be supplied every day.
5. In order to prevent anemia during lactation, you should eat more foods high in iron, such as animal liver, meat, fish, certain vegetables, soybeans and their products.
