Question
A 57-day-old baby girl, the usual amount of formula feeding is around 100-120 milliliters. Is this amount too much? The baby can be fed every 3 hours during the day, and sometimes can be fed every 3 and a half hours at night. She used to fall asleep immediately after feeding, but in recent days, she shows some wriggling and limb movements after feeding and takes some time to fall asleep. Is this normal?
Answer
The current amount of formula intake for the baby is normal. The baby’s slight movements or restlessness are normal phenomena as the baby’s nervous system is not fully developed. It is recommended to continue observing the baby’s feeding condition and start supplementing vitamin D when the baby is 57 days old, which helps with calcium absorption. Since the baby’s nervous system is still developing, such situations are normal and there is no need to worry excessively.
