My Grandbaby Is Only Getting 14 Oz. Of Formula Day, Total. She Gets Baby Foods And Juices. Is This Enough?
My daughter is only giving my 7 month old grandbaby 14 oz of formula a day. She is eating baby foods, cereals, and juices, too…..but I think she still the nutrients in the formula for her bones and teeth. I obviously don’t know what the rules are these days.
A: 24 ounces of formula per day is the MINUMUM for a child under 1 year and babies do not need juice ever
A: A baby that young gets most of their nutrients from formula. In my opinion your daughter should give her less baby foods and juices and more formula. She should be getting at least twice that amount per day.
A: Your grandbaby needs the formula; especially during her 1st year. Nix the juices. Juices contain sugar and are just filling your grandbaby up taking the place of the nutrient & iron fortified formula.
A: try introducing mashed vegetables and rice at this age…i am sure she must be chewing with her gums already. as for juices the less the better they are not great nutrition wise.
if she is gaining weight nicely and happy..it should be enough…babies that young eat very less so don’t worry.
make sure she gets plenty of sun/vitamin D to absorb all that calcium in her diet.
A: no way that is not enough. she should be mainly on formula and just being introduced to solids. my son has a bottle every four hours and about 6 ounces mixed with baby rice cereal that is also fortified with all the vitamins, DHA & Omegas for brain and eye development (as his formula is). So thats about 24 ounces a day for a 6 month old. Sometimes we just give him straight formula but he still acts hungry because he needs something more solid in his belly.
A: No, that isn’t enough for a 7 mo. – she should be getting 24-37oz. per day. See chart at the bottom of this page
