Answer
For breastfed infants, there is no fixed feeding schedule or milk quantity, as feeding is usually based on the baby’s needs. The number of feedings per day can vary depending on the baby’s size and hunger level. When a baby cries out of hunger, it is important to feed them immediately. On average, breastfeeding babies are fed 6 to 10 times a day. For formula-fed infants, the first week after birth should involve feeding 7 times a day, with each feeding about 30 to 60 milliliters; from the 8th to the 14th day, feed 7 times a day, with each feeding about 60 to 90 milliliters; from the 15th to the 28th day, feed 6 times a day, with each feeding about 90 to 120 milliliters; at 1 to 2 months, feed 5 times a day, with each feeding about 120 to 150 milliliters; after four months, feed 5 times a day, with each feeding about 150 to 200 milliliters. As the child grows and develops, a two-month-old baby can introduce juice, a three-month-old can introduce egg yolks, and a four-month-old should start introducing rice porridge powder, formula powder, and biscuit powder; by one year old…
