How much milk powder does a one-year-old baby drink every day?

After the baby is born, he or she gradually needs to supplement with milk powder. Supplementation can not only increase nutrition when the baby is not full, but also play a good role in the baby's physical health. So many parents want to know how much milk powder a one-year-old baby drinks every day and how much is the controlled amount. In the following article, the editor will introduce it to you.

The amount of milk a 12-month-old baby needs is about 720 to 960 ml. The baby should refer to the instructions on the milk powder when drinking milk. Different babies have different appetites. Parents should find a pattern and try to eat small meals frequently. Don’t feed your child too much at one time. When raising a child, it is important to ensure that he is three parts hungry and three parts cold, so that the child can be healthy.

Babies between 1 and 2 years old will gradually grow more than a dozen teeth, and their main food will gradually shift from milk to mixed food. At this time, the baby's digestive system is not yet mature, so the baby cannot be fed adult food. You need to prepare delicious food for the baby based on his physiological characteristics and nutritional needs to ensure that he gets balanced nutrition. It should be noted that:

1. The baby's stomach capacity is limited, so it is better to eat small meals frequently. Before the age of 18 months, you can give your baby two snacks in addition to the three meals, and the snacks can be in the afternoon and at night; after the age of 18 months, reduce it to one snack in each of the three meals, and the snacks can be in the afternoon. However, when adding snacks, you must pay attention to the following: first, the snacks should be moderate, not too much; second, the time should not be too close to the main meal so as not to affect the appetite for the main meal. You must not give your baby snacks at will, otherwise it will cause nutritional imbalance over time.

2. Eat more vegetables and fruits. One of the main sources of nutrition for babies every day is vegetables, especially orange-green vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, rapeseed, bell peppers, etc. You can process these vegetables into fine and soft chopped vegetables, stir-fry and season them, and mix them with rice to feed your baby. It should be noted that babies should also eat fruits, but fruits cannot replace vegetables. Babies aged 1 to 2 years old should eat a total of 150-250 grams of vegetables and fruits every day.

3. Consume animal and plant protein in moderation. Meat, fish, beans and eggs contain a lot of high-quality protein. You can use these foods to make dumpling soup, or feed your baby easily digestible foods such as minced meat, fish balls, tofu, and egg custard. Babies aged 1 to 2 years old should eat 40-50 grams of meat, 25-50 grams of soy products, and 1 egg every day.

In the above article, we learned how much milk powder a one-year-old baby drinks every day. First of all, after the baby reaches one year old, you can’t rely solely on milk powder to supplement the baby’s food. You can give the baby more meat and eggs that are easy to chew. These are all very helpful for the baby’s physical development.
