Question
How much formula should a 4-month-old baby drink at one time?
Answer
For a 4-month-old baby, the amount of formula should be determined based on the baby’s digestion and absorption capacity. Generally, as the baby grows older, the milk volume also increases. It is not yet time to introduce complementary foods, which should not be done until after four and a half months, as that’s when the baby requires additional nutrition, and breast milk may no longer fully meet the baby’s needs. However, introducing complementary foods must be done gradually.
