Question

How many times a day should a 5-month-old baby be fed?

Answer

For babies between 4 to 6 months old, it is recommended to feed them breast milk or formula milk 4 to 6 times a day, with each feeding about 192 to 240 milliliters. At the same time, you can gradually increase the intake of iron-fortified infant cereals, starting with 1 to 3 tablespoons and gradually increasing to 5 tablespoons. Additionally, you can start introducing pureed fruits and vegetables to meet the baby’s nutritional needs.
