2-year-old baby drinking milk

For two-year-old babies, the amount of milk they drink every day must be controlled, otherwise they will suffer from overnutrition, which will cause them to gain weight and even accumulate fat. Therefore, it is necessary to improve their daily milk intake, and the amount of milk they drink needs to be gradually reduced as they age, and they need to be supplemented with some complementary foods.

A general term for infants and toddlers, generally referring to young children aged 0-3 years old. There is a great connection between infants and young children, so in many children's works, medical works, early childhood education, etc., they are discussed together to make them easier to understand. Although they are closely related, there are still two differences in terms of child development: infants (0-1 years old) and toddlers (1-3 years old). Infants and young children are a protected group, and their diet is particularly important. Breast milk is the staple food for infants (complementary food is gradually added after 4-6 months), and adult food is the staple food after 1 year old.

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.

In terms of complementary foods, you can choose domestic rice noodles and imported rice noodles. The difference is that the trace nutrients added to each are slightly different, but overall they are similar. Whether it is domestic baby rice cereal or imported rice cereal, as long as it is produced by a regular manufacturer, has reached the level of scientific formula, and is a qualified product that has passed the national testing standards, you can rest assured to choose it for your baby. At this time, the most important thing is the baby's taste.
