Question

Should a one-month-old baby be fed formula milk at regular intervals and in fixed quantities?

Answer

When feeding a one-month-old baby formula milk, it is advisable to gradually increase the amount of milk and consider switching to whole milk after the full month. The feeding intervals can be adjusted according to the baby’s needs, and it is not necessary to feed at strictly timed intervals. The amount of milk for each feeding should be determined based on the baby’s appetite. If the baby falls asleep or refuses to eat after consuming a few tens of milliliters, you can try feeding again later. Additionally, you can provide the baby with a small amount of plain water between feedings. During the feeding process, observe the baby’s growth and development as well as the characteristics of their stool to ensure healthy growth.
