Four month old babies need to drink milk every day to supplement their nutrition, and there is also a certain amount of milk consumption. Parents need to provide according to the amount of milk consumed, otherwise babies who drink too little may cry and feel hungry, and drinking too much may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. So, what is the daily milk intake for a four month old baby?
A four month old baby consumes approximately 800 to 1000 milliliters of milk per day. This month's child needs to have regular and regular milk intake, with a milk volume of approximately 250 milliliters per feeding. You can feed your baby five times a day, once every four hours, at 6am and 10am, 2pm and 6pm, and 10pm. You can give your baby a moderate amount of water between each feeding session.
When your baby is four months old, you can add egg yolk, Rice noodles, fruit juice, vegetable juice and other complementary foods, but the addition of complementary foods needs to be done step by step. You can't reduce the amount of milk for your baby because of the addition of complementary foods, unless the baby does not want to eat milk. Some babies may experience a slight decrease in milk intake after adding complementary foods. As long as the baby is in good spirits and has normal bowel movements, it is still considered a normal situation.
After four months, babies may also experience a period of aversion to milk. By adding complementary foods, one can effectively and quickly overcome the stage of aversion to milk. When increasing the amount of feeding, it is important to pay attention to a gradual approach to prevent digestive problems in the baby. If breastfeeding, consider adding complementary foods after six months.
