How much milk should a baby eat after 50 days of age?

For children of different ages, the amount of milk that mothers need to prepare is actually different. When children are young, they need to be fed more milk. As they grow older and add complementary foods, mothers can reduce the amount of milk they feed their babies. So, how much milk does a baby over 50 days old need? Today we will help mothers calculate the amount of milk to be fed for babies aged 0-9 months.

Growth status and milk intake of children of different ages 0-2 months

Within 2 months after birth, babies will be more focused when drinking milk because they sleep longer and will fall asleep after drinking enough. After 2 months, the baby's appetite begins to decrease, and at 4 months, a physiological milk aversion period will occur. The baby will automatically adjust the amount of milk he drinks. These are all normal phenomena. As long as there is nothing abnormal about the child's weight gain, parents don't need to worry too much. The child health handbook comes with a growth and weight curve chart. As long as the child's weight percentage is not less than two boxes of the normal value, it is within the normal range. Mothers can find out their children's height and weight through regular physical examinations. If the basic milk requirement of a child is calculated based on weight, the ideal amount of milk is 150 ml of milk per kilogram of body weight per day.

For example: For a child weighing 6 kg, the amount of milk he drinks every day is 150×6=900 ml, which is the child’s daily milk requirement. As long as the amount of milk you drink each time is kept between 100 ml and 150 ml, it is still normal.

3-4 months

If after three or four months the child drinks less than 100 ml of milk each time, does not gain weight, and this period lasts for more than one month, it can no longer be considered as simple physiological milk aversion. At this time, it is necessary to observe whether the child has any abnormal phenomena, such as: no longer increasing weight or increasing slowly, slow growth and development, growth curve slowly falling, etc., you should suspect whether the unbalanced nutrition has affected the child's intellectual development, the improvement of immune function, etc.

6-7 months

Children at this stage start to eat complementary foods. Some children may not like to drink formula milk, and parents have to find ways to get their children to drink it, because the calories and nutritional completeness of any other milk substitutes are not as good as milk. Children under one year old basically need to rely on formula milk as their staple food. Children who do not drink milk often do not develop well in terms of height and other aspects.

8-9 months

Parents can start feeding children with a spoon at this stage. Chinese people are accustomed to having their parents feed their children personally, but foreign studies have shown that it is okay to let children eat by themselves, even if they get food all over their heads and faces, because only in this way can children's self-care ability be better trained, and their self-confidence can be increased, making them brave and willing to try new things.
