Question
How many meals should a 9-month-old baby have in a day?
Answer
A 9-month-old baby should primarily be fed breast milk, with appropriate complementary foods added as well. It is recommended to divide meals into 4-5 sessions per day, including breast milk or formula milk in the morning and evening, as well as complementary foods at noon and in the afternoon. The interval between meals should be about 4-6 hours, and it is essential to ensure the baby has enough water intake. Additionally, attention should be paid to the diversity of food types to meet the baby’s nutritional needs for various nutrients.
