Children who were born very large - more than 4,500 grams, will need a little more food than a baby with an average birth weight. And vice versa - if a child was born with a low weight, let alone a premature one, then the food will need less than the average set figure for this age.
What are the norms of nutrition?
Every child eats as much as he wants. Not only the older children are divided into maloezhes and well-eating children - all the origins come from infancy. But doctors calculated how much a baby should have in 1 month.
So, the baby from birth and up to two months should receive liquid food 1/5 of the body weight. That is, a child weighing 5 kilograms a month is supposed to drink 1 liter of milk or a mixture. Of course, this is not a one-time, but a daily norm, which will need to be divided into the required number of meals.
How many times does the baby eat in 1 month?
Depending on the type of feeding, the number of feedings per day is also different. Thus, the children who receive the mixture should eat every three and a half hours during the day, and at night they have a break of 5-6 hours. That is, it will be about 7-8 times a day.
But babies, who are fed on demand, get more ml of milk than artificial ones. But this does not mean that you can feed as many children as you like, it is desirable to make an interval between the feedings of at least two and a half hours. For a day, about 10-12 attachments are applied to the chest.
