How much milk powder should a four-month-old baby take?

Many parents don’t know how to feed their babies as they grow up. In fact, when babies reach four months old, they should pay attention to adding complementary foods, because milk powder can no longer meet their body’s needs. Therefore, the amount of milk powder needs to be increased so that they can supplement adequate nutrition. So how much milk powder should a four-month-old baby take?

The amount of milk a baby needs is not fixed, because every baby's appetite is different. My baby was mainly fed with breast milk when he was four months old. At that time, I fed him some formula during the day and added some egg-based complementary foods. I started going to work when my baby was four months old, but the baby still didn't want to eat formula during the day. Feeding him 20-40ML of formula in one meal was already a lot, and he still mainly drank breast milk.

The child should start adding complementary foods when he is 4 months old. The principle of adding complementary foods is: the addition of complementary foods should start from 4 months, first add egg yolks and then eggs, and then various meat dishes, fruits and vegetables. Add one each week. After 6 months, the ingredients in breast milk are no longer sufficient for the growth and development of children, and they should be gradually transitioned to solid food, and they should be weaned in time when the complementary food is ready. You should transition him to solid foods gradually, starting with pureed foods, then fine particles, then coarse particles, small pieces, and then large pieces. We humans have an optimal age for transitioning from eating liquid food in infancy to solid food. After the optimal age, we will vomit when eating solid food. Don't miss this best age. The egg yolk should be added gradually, starting with a quarter. If there is no allergic or other adverse reaction, you can add half of the egg yolk gradually. I think the two can be mixed together. This is how I feed my baby. When my baby was four months old, I added it to the milk and let the baby slowly adapt. Fruits contain vitamin C needed for the normal growth and development of babies. They are sweet and sour and delicious, and babies love to eat them. After the baby is 4-6 months old, in addition to drinking fruit juice, the fruit can also be processed into a paste product, which is more suitable for babies to eat.

If your child eats less, consider whether it is because of teething or whether he is in the aversion period. I suggest you try giving him some probiotics, such as Changlekang or Mommy Love. I also suggest you start adding some rice cereal as a complementary food and observe. If your child is fed with formula milk, you can try adding rice cereal as a complementary food now. Make it into a thinner liquid complementary food, feed him one or two small spoons at a time, add it once or twice a day, and slowly increase the amount after the child adapts.

A four-month-old baby should drink about 800 ml of milk every day. Take four meals a day: morning, noon, evening and before going to bed, 150-200ML each time. In addition, babies in some families tend to eat less, only about 60ML per meal. This is normal. It is the baby's milk aversion period, and the mother should help the baby through the milk aversion period.

The above is a detailed explanation of the amount of milk powder a four-month-old baby should have. I believe mothers should be very clear about it, so if your baby is malnourished, you can add some milk powder appropriately and also match it with some complementary foods.
