Patient's question:
My son is now 6 months old. How many milliliters of milk should he drink at least every day? He seems to be drinking less milk lately, and it's really driving me crazy! Additionally, how many milliliters of milk should he drink at least at 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, and 12 months to ensure normal growth? Please answer me as soon as possible! Thank you!!!Doctor's answer:
A six-month-old baby has entered the weaning period, which is a crucial stage in the baby's growth. The baby's physiological functions are gradually maturing, and the nutritional components of breast milk or the original newborn formula are no longer sufficient to meet the baby's growth needs. It is recommended to switch to a larger infant formula that provides more nutrients and pay attention to the addition of complementary foods.Generally, it is a one-meal-milk and one-meal-complementary-food approach, with the amount varying from person to person.
