Daily milk intake for one-year-old baby

For new mothers, it is actually difficult to master the amount of milk to feed the baby. Although babies will cry when they are hungry, some mothers will overfeed their babies. A one-year-old baby can actually start eating complementary foods, so the demand for breast milk and formula is not very great. Mothers can reduce the amount of milk feeding appropriately. After all, scientific feeding is more beneficial to the baby's physical development.

1 year old baby milk powder

Children over one year old need to drink about 500-700 ml of milk every day. Complementary food needs to be added in time to meet the child's growth and development needs. The baby's diet needs to be reasonable and not picky. Meat and vegetables need to be supplemented reasonably. As long as the diet is comprehensive and conducive to digestion and absorption, the baby will be healthy.

A one-year-old child should eat the same food as adults. Any easily digestible food such as thick porridge, noodles, dumplings, buns, etc. can be fed. For children who like to drink milk, the amount of milk can still be the same as last month, but attention should be paid to gradually reducing the amount and frequency of milk consumption, such as changing the 10 am feeding to vegetable and meat porridge. In addition to giving warm boiled water, vegetable water, vegetable puree, and fruit on time, liver puree, minced meat, fish, egg custard, tofu pudding, tender tofu, etc. can be fed in rotation. Solid foods such as biscuits, crackers, steamed bread slices, etc. should be eaten once a day. Concentrated cod liver oil, once a day, 3-4 drops each time.

The staple food should still be baby formula powder, and other supplementary foods can be increased in quantity and variety compared to last month. For babies with large appetite, add 90-100 ml of soy milk every day, which can be mixed with baby milk powder for drinking. Soft rice porridge, egg noodles, etc. can be fed once in the morning and once in the afternoon, 2-3 tablespoons each time, and half an egg yolk each time. Around 2 pm, you can feed 1-2 tablespoons of chopped or pureed vegetables. You can try feeding biscuits, crackers, etc.

How to choose milk powder for 1-year-old baby

There are several indicators when choosing milk powder for a one-year-old baby: one is calcium absorption. Although some baby milk powders have high calcium content, the calcium-phosphorus ratio is not appropriate. The high phosphorus content affects the absorption of calcium. High phosphorus content and low iron content will also affect the absorption of iron. The second is the whey protein content (the higher the better). The ratio of whey protein to casein in milk powder is 60:40. Some baby milk powder increases the content of alpha whey protein in whey protein. Alpha whey protein helps babies sleep and promotes brain development. The third is the content of DHA and AA. DHA and AA are commonly known as "brain gold". They are essential substances for eye visual acuity and brain development. The higher the better. DHA and AA are best extracted from seaweed, which is more effective than extracting from cod liver oil.

In addition, babies with different physiques should also choose different baby formula powder. Some children are allergic to milk protein, intolerant to lactose, or have special nutritional needs due to premature birth, so they need to choose therapeutic formula milk powder.

Every baby has a different physique, and the ingredients added to baby formula also have slight differences. Regardless of whether it is low-priced or high-priced, as long as the baby likes to eat it, his urination and defecation are normal, his weight and height and other indicators grow normally, he sleeps well, has no bad breath, no eye mucus, and no rash, you can continue to feed it to your baby.
