How much should a ten-day-old newborn eat at one time

Eating is a very important part for newborns, because their bodies are in a stage of rapid development right after they come into the world, and their nutritional intake is relatively large. Parents need to understand how much is normal for newborns to eat at different ages, so as not to starve the baby or overstuff the fetus. The following is a detailed introduction to how much is normal for a ten-day-old newborn to eat at one time.

1. The amount of milk a baby should be fed in the first few days after birth

The amount of milk for infants can be calculated based on the infant's body weight per kilogram, 100 to 200 ml per day. If the baby weighs 3 kg, then 3×100 (120) ml = 300 (360) ml of milk is needed. After adding water, the total amount is divided by the number of meals to get the amount of milk used for each meal. If two parts of milk are mixed with one part of water, it will be 300 (360) ml of milk + 150 (160) ml of water, with a total of 450~480 ml. Divide it into 7~8 doses, with each dose being 60~70 ml.

2. The amount of milk to feed babies from 15 days to one month old

If the baby's digestion is normal, he can eat pure milk, nearly 100-150 ml per kilogram of body weight, and about 60-100 ml per meal.

3. The amount of milk to be fed after the baby is one month old to two months old

The amount of milk should be gradually increased according to body weight. Feed the baby 6 to 7 times a day, with an interval of 3.5 to 4 hours between each feeding. Each feeding should be about 80 to 120 ml. You can take up to 150 ml.

4. The amount of milk for infants from two to three months old

Feed 5 to 6 times a day, once every four hours, with 150 to 200 ml of milk each time.

5. The amount of milk for infants from three to six months

Feed 5 times a day, once every four hours, and the amount of milk each feeding is: 150-200 ml for three to five months, 200-250 ml for five to six months. The total amount of milk intake should be controlled, not exceeding 1000 ml per day, and the amount of milk per feeding should not exceed 250 ml. Start feeding complementary foods before breastfeeding at four months.

6. The amount of milk for infants from six to nine months

Feed the baby every four hours, 200-250 ml each time. Change from four meals of milk to three meals of milk a day, and gradually add supplementary food starting from replacing half a meal to one meal of milk. The amount of sugar in the medium gradually decreases
