Four months after the arrival of the baby, the digestive organs and digestive function gradually improved, and the amount of activity increased, and the calories consumed also increased. At this time, the feeding was more complicated than the baby four months ago.
First, breast-feeding babies:
As long as the weight gain is normal (an average of 15-20 grams per day), there is no need to rush to increase the complementary foods. If you have less and less breastmilk, your baby needs to add milk or other complementary foods just by adding 100 grams of body weight within 10 days.
However, in actual feeding, if milk is not added until this month, the baby is likely to have refused to eat because the baby is not used to sucking a plastic pacifier that feels completely different from the mother's nipple. No matter what method the mother uses, the baby will not eat. At this time, other milk substitute foods should be added. Otherwise, the baby will experience weight gain below the average level, resulting in malnutrition.
Second, milk feeding baby:
Feeding of milk does not increase too much compared to last month and it is still maintained at about 1000 ml each. Because the baby's weight gain at 4-5 months is not much different from the 3-4 month period, the same feeding can be given. This month's baby has a large amount of activity and consumes more calories, which can be compensated by the sugar content of other milk substitutes.
Third, increase iron supplement food:
After 4 months, the ingredients contained in the milk have been difficult to meet the needs of the baby's growth and development. In addition, the mother's iron in the baby's body has been exhausted. The iron in breast milk or milk is far from catching the baby's needs. If not, When it is added in time, iron deficiency anemia occurs. For this reason, you should add egg yolk to your baby in this month.
The main role of the egg yolk is to supplement iron and protein. Begin by adding 1/4, then gradually increase, you can feed the whole egg yolk in 6 months. In addition, some dairy cakes can also be added, the main role is to supply heat, milk cake is purely starchy foods, 4 months of baby salivary glands have been gradually developed, amylase is already available, and at this time the amount of baby activity, the required heat With the corresponding increase, it is still necessary to feed 2-3 pieces of high-quality and enhanced minerals and vitamins. In addition, some mashed potatoes can also be fed, mainly for vitamin and mineral supplements.
