Nine month old baby milk

Nine-month-old babies are already able to eat complementary foods, and will gradually regard complementary foods as staple foods. This is a transitional period, and the child's demand for breast milk will gradually decrease, so his milk intake is generally around 800 to 1000 ml. In addition to ensuring adequate milk intake, we should also emphasize dietary nutrition to avoid children becoming picky eaters. The diet should be diversified. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How much milk does a nine-month-old baby drink?

The amount of milk for a 9-month-old baby is about 800-1000 ml. No feeding is required at night. In addition to ensuring adequate milk intake every day, you should also gradually transition to a mixed food based on grains, milk, vegetables, fish, meat, and eggs. These foods are essential for the growth and development of children. Feed noodles, rice porridge, steamed buns, small biscuits, etc. appropriately to increase calories. Eat animal blood and liver regularly to ensure the supply of iron.

The cooking methods should be diversified, paying attention to color, aroma, taste, and shape, and the food should be fine, soft, and minced. It should not be fried, stir-fried or stir-fried to facilitate digestion. When arranging baby food, attention should be paid to the reasonable combination of various nutrients to ensure the needs of the child's growth and development. After 6 months, babies should be given complementary foods such as chopped vegetables and porridge to taste a variety of flavors. It is not too late to add it before 1 year old. Don't rush to add it, and don't force your child to eat it. If it doesn’t work the first time, try a second time, your baby will gradually accept it.

What to do if your 9-month-old baby has low milk supply

9-month-old babies should still be fed mainly with milk, and complementary foods should be added to ensure 800-1000 ml of milk every day.

Boil the eggs, peel them, take out the yolks and grind them into powder. Start by feeding 1/8 of an egg yolk per day, then gradually increase to 1/4, 1/2, and finally the whole egg yolk. Egg yolk powder can be mixed with boiling water and given to the baby between feedings; it can also be directly mixed with rice flour. Mothers can also make homemade egg yolk porridge for their babies to increase their nutrient absorption and enhance their resistance.

As the child's gastrointestinal function improves, in addition to adding rice noodles, you can also add animal blood from chicken, duck, pig, etc., as well as lean meat paste, fish paste, pork liver paste, chicken liver paste and other iron-rich and easily absorbed foods, which can be directly added to the rice noodles. Be careful not to add any seasoning for children under 1 year old.

Infants and young children should not drink synthetic beverages on the market. They should use special baby drinks, or freshly squeezed fruit juice that is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio before drinking. You can also make your own vegetable juice. The method is to wash the fresh vegetables and cut them into small pieces.

Add water and boil thoroughly, then take the juice (just the juice) and drink it. For example, celery juice is effective for constipation, and carrot juice is effective for diarrhea.
