How much food should a baby eat in one week?

Within one week after the birth of a son, you should pay attention to controlling the range of his diet, especially what to eat and how to adjust it. This has also become a concern for many new parents. Generally, within one week after the birth, you should pay attention to feeding the baby correctly. Too much or too little will not work. The nutrition of the milk must be sufficient. If the nutrition in the milk is not enough, the child will not feel full no matter how much he eats, and he may also suffer from malnutrition.

What is the standard food intake table for a 10-day-old newborn?

The amount of milk a newborn baby should eat: Newborns can eat an appropriate amount of milk depending on their weight, 30-60 ml each time, 6-8 times a day. Later, the amount of milk can be gradually increased according to the growth of digestive ability, until the baby is one month old, when 90-120 ml of milk can be fed each time, and the number of feedings should be reduced.

Newborns at 10 days old are fed on demand, and should be fed as much as the baby can eat. A baby who is well fed will be content and quiet between feedings, usually sleeping for 3-4 hours. A baby who is not full will cry. Generally, the baby is fed 6 to 7 times a day, with an interval of 3.5 to 4 hours between each feeding, and each feeding should be about 80 to 120 ml. You can take up to 150 ml.

What should be paid attention to when adding complementary food to newborns

1. Adding complementary foods too early will increase the digestive burden and may cause allergies.

Adding complementary foods too early can easily cause allergies. The baby's digestive system and kidney function are not yet fully developed, and adding food too early will increase the burden on the kidneys. Complementary feeding will inevitably reduce the baby's milk intake and disrupt the nutritional balance.

2. Fear of not eating enough, so the baby is fed too much complementary food or it is too thick, which leads to constipation or excessive bowel movements .

If complementary foods are added too often, the frequency and amount of bowel movements will increase, indicating that the complementary foods fed exceed the baby's own digestion and absorption capacity.

3. Egg yolk and juice are added too early.

Egg yolks can easily cause allergies and indigestion (constipation), and their nutritional composition is single. Fruit juice does not have much nutritional value and can easily make babies drink too much sugar. It will interfere with the baby's drinking of milk and eating complementary foods.

If the food intake is too much, it will often increase the pressure on the stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to gastrointestinal motility and may cause indigestion and other conditions. Parents should pay special attention to their baby's diet. The intake should not be excessive. They should adjust the healthy diet structure and add appropriate complementary foods to make the baby's stomach and intestines healthier.
