Question

Is it too much for a child to have milk powder9 to 10 times a day?

Answer

Nine to ten diaper changes a day are normal. Guidance:

  1. Newborns and infants should be breastfed on demand, meaning as long as the little one needs to feed, you should feed them. The baby will cry when hungry, and when they stop crying after feeding and show signs of enjoyment, that’s proper feeding. So, this number of diaper changes is not excessive;
  2. The frequency of bowel movements in infants can also be quite frequent daily. Of course, pay attention to the shape of the stool as well, for example, are there milk clumps, mucus, or very loose stools, etc.;
  3. Under such circumstances, it is also important to regularly visit the health care center to check on the baby’s physical growth and development. Doctor’s Note: Of course, I’m referring to normal full-term newborns above! So, basically, it’s normal.
