Question
How should I supplement nutrition for a baby after one month? My baby only eats formula milk and doesn’t breastfeed. What should I be aware of?
Answer
After a baby reaches one month old, if there are issues such as excessive sweating, night terrors, or slow growth, it is appropriate to supplement with cod liver oil and vitamins. If the baby has dry, hard stools, increase water intake and pay attention to the mother’s diet to avoid affecting the baby’s digestion. For babies solely breastfed, no additional water supplementation is needed before four months. If formula milk is used, water should be given between each feeding. During summer, babies need more water, and plain water is the best choice. If juice is necessary, avoid overly sweet varieties.
