How much does a one-year-old child eat every day

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me how much a one-year-old child should eat daily?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's enough to have no more than two per day. The child is young, so 1-2 each day is fine, not more. If the child doesn't absorb well, they should eat some meat, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, etc. Constipation is usually caused by improper diet, so when the baby is constipated, mothers should not get anxious. You can try adjusting the baby's dietary habits and other methods to treat the constipation.
Some infants are accustomed to having a bowel movement every 2-3 days. As long as the stool is not hard and there are no difficulties or discomfort, it is not considered constipation, and no treatment is needed. For newborns and infants who primarily consume milk, water, light salt water, or diluted vegetable juice should be given between feedings. 20-30 milliliters each time can change the intestinal osmotic pressure to promote bowel movement.
