This is a burden for the child or may affect the child’s physical development. When newborn babies drink milk, they must pay attention not only to the amount, but also to the nutrition. So how much milk should newborn babies drink?

How many times a day? How much should he eat at one time? There are individual differences in the amount of food that newborns eat. How much milk should a newborn baby drink in a day? According to observations, newborns aged half a month to one month old can breastfeed 6 to 7 times a day at least, and up to 12 to 13 times a day; the amount of milk each time can be as little as 60 to 70 ml, and as much as 150 to 180 ml; each breastfeeding time can be less than 10 minutes, and up to more than 30 minutes; the interval between breastfeedings can be as little as 1.5 to 2 hours, and as much as 4 to 5 hours.

Some mothers become anxious when they see that other children eat more and grow fatter than their own children. They try every means to get their children to eat more, and even force their children to finish the only 10 ml of milk left in the bottle. However, they do not realize that this is a big mistake. Forced feeding will increase the burden on the child's liver and kidneys, and may cause the child to refuse to eat milk. Forced feeding will also cause psychological harm and ultimately cause anorexia, affecting the child's physical and mental health. So, is there a reference value that mothers can rest assured? Based on the child's weight, age and physiological needs, we can recommend a simple calculation method to you. Newborn's energy requirement: 60 kcal/kg body weight·day in the first week; 100 kcal/kg·d in the second to third weeks; water requirement: 120-150 ml/kg·d. Taking the first week after birth of a newborn as an example: Daily calorie requirement: 3kg×60 kcal/kg·d=180 kcal/d?郾① Breastfeeding: Every 100 ml of breast milk contains 67 kcal of calories. 180 kcal ÷ 67 kcal / 100 ml ≈ 269 ml. The stomach capacity of a newborn is 30-60 ml. If fed 8 times a day: 269 ml ÷ 8 times ≈ 34 ml / time. ② Artificial feeding: 5-8% sugar-containing milk can provide 100 kcal per 100 ml. The required 180 kcal / d of calories is provided by 180 ml of milk (with sugar).

If it is a newborn baby, it is best to pay attention to the child's spirit when drinking milk. Generally, the baby should be fed according to the dosage we introduced above. If you don’t know how much the child should eat, it is best to decide based on the child’s physique. If the child can eat, it is best to give the child more. If the child cannot eat, reduce the dosage to avoid indigestion.
