How much milk powder is appropriate for a one-month-old baby?

How many milliliters of milk should a one-month-old baby eat is a question that puzzles many new mothers. Because babies are very small, adults can hardly judge the size of their stomachs. Therefore, it is easy to feed too much or too little when feeding the baby, which will have an adverse effect on the baby's healthy development. Let's take a look at how much milk powder is appropriate for a one-month-old baby to eat? I hope everyone can understand.

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. Notes on preparing infant formula (1) First prepare clean warm boiled water (about 60°C) and measure the required amount. (2) Use the special measuring spoon in the milk powder can to take out the required amount of milk powder. Use the back of a sterilized knife to scrape each spoonful flat. Do not pile or compact the milk powder in the spoon. Adding too much milk powder will make the prepared milk too thick, often leading to diarrhea, constipation or obesity, and in severe cases, damage the kidneys. If the milk is diluted too much for a long time, the child's weight gain will be slow, which will also affect growth and development. (3) Pour the milk powder in the spoon into the prepared measuring cup.

(4) Stir the milk powder with a sterilized spoon until it is completely dissolved. (5) Pour the milk in the measuring cup into the bottle through a sterilized funnel and then it is ready for consumption. (6) If heating is required, use hot water to heat the prepared milk. It is best not to heat it in a microwave oven, because when heating in a microwave oven, although the outside of the bottle does not feel hot, the milk in the bottle is already very hot and can easily scald the baby.

Breastfeeding is a very particular matter. Breast milk is good not only because it is nutritious, but also because the temperature of breast milk is just right for drinking, so that the baby will not get scalded or caught a cold. When the baby grows up a little bit, milk powder alone is not enough to provide nutrition. It also needs to be supplemented with some complementary foods so that the child's development can be more sound. I hope the above content can help everyone. The above is an explanation of how much milk powder is appropriate for a one-month-old baby. I hope everyone can understand that parents need to take the baby’s health seriously, and they must understand the baby’s appetite.
