At 6 months old, how many hours and how many times a day should a baby drink breast milk?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

At this point, it is already possible to add rice porridge, rice powder, and finely mashed vegetables and fruits with a light taste to the child's diet. You can also start giving the child age-appropriate formula milk, which may not be immediately suitable, so gradually increase the amount. The nutritional quality of breast milk at this stage has started to decline and cannot provide the child with sufficient nutrition. Gradually reduce the amount of breast milk each day and increase the amount of complementary foods. Reduce the frequency at night, trying to have one feeding around 9 or 10 PM with a slightly longer duration, and then continue until midnight.
