A new parent came to see the child for treatment. The baby who is more than 50 days old, jaundice has not yet returned. When he was in another hospital, the doctor said that he would consider breast milk jaundice and asked him to stop breastfeeding for 3 days and feed the powder first. However, after the parents came home, they didn’t know how much milk powder to feed the baby. The first time they were fed 30ml, the child cried because he was not full, and he had no choice but to take breast milk again.
In this case, every baby may have had the experience of temporarily quitting breastfeeding. For example, the child needs to stop breastfeeding because he is sick or his mother is sick or goes out. When feeding milk powder, parents will be confused about how much appropriate to feed the child. I am afraid of indigestion if I feed less, and the child will not be full and cry. Now I will teach you how to calculate the amount of breastfeeding to the child. Generally, the stomach volume of a newborn is only 7ml when it is born, and 40~50ml in 4 days. It will be 80ml after 10 days, and then it will increase by 25ml per month, and it will reach 250~300ml at 1 year old. Here is a simple calculation method for your reference. The amount of milk for a child within 1 year old is equal to 30 ml + 30ml*month-old age. For example, a child with a 3 month old is 30 ml plus 30 times 3, which is 120ml of milk per time.
How long is it appropriate to feed it? Generally speaking, the emptying of the stomach depends on the type of food. The drainage time of water is generally 1.5~2 hours, breast milk is 2~3 hours, and cow milk is 3~4 hours. This is mainly for the feeding method of full-term children. The emptying time of premature infants will be slower. This method is not used as a reference.
