Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How many milliliters of milk is the baby consuming?Doctor's answer:
The total milk intake in the first week can be provided at a rate of 50-100 milliliters/kg per day. From the second week onwards, it can be provided at a rate of 110-150 milliliters/kg per day, with an increase of 2-5 milliliters per time. However, this varies among individuals. Infants who gain less than 600 grams in weight after one month should be transferred to weak child management. Now is the time to wean, gradually reducing the frequency of breastfeeding and introducing formula milk to the child to help them get accustomed to it. Generally, weaning takes about a week. The child's diet should be diversified.
