Patient's question:
My baby is only 3 days old and still in the postpartum period. I want to know how much milk should a postpartum baby eat?Doctor's answer:
According to general standards, a baby weighing 6-7 jin at birth should consume about 600-800ml of milk per day during the 1-2 month period, divided into 7 feedings of 100-200ml each. If feeding 6 times, each feeding should be 140ml. Do not overfeed. Babies around one month old are fed on demand—feed as much as the baby wants. A well-fed baby will be very content and quiet between feedings, usually sleeping for 3-4 hours. An underfed baby will cry and fuss.
