Question
My child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and they’re not eating much. How much formula should a 6-month-old baby drink?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, for a baby around 6 months old, a daily intake of about 700 to 800 milliliters of formula should be sufficient. Each feeding should be around 120 to 150 milliliters, and the baby should be fed four to five times a day. By the time the baby is between 7 and 9 months old, they can gradually transition from semi-solid foods to chewable soft solid foods (like porridge with noodles, rice porridge with minced vegetables, etc.). From 1 to 12 months old, most babies can gradually shift to a diet mainly consisting of solid foods.
