After the birth:



Amount of drinking

The central question during the complete silent time is: Does the baby get enough milk? Babies don't drink at every meal just much and also have minimum and development conditional fluctuations. When rule of thumb is valid: If the diapers four are wet well until five times on the day and the baby grows and prospers, the child gets sufficient milk.

To get a more exact clue over the amount of milk, a silent test can be carried out. The baby gets well-disposed towards calming in its clothes in front of and after. The amount of drinking gives up from the difference. For a detailed summary the silent test should be carried out over several days.

The following amounts of drinking are regarded as points of reference:

1st living stay distributes 50 -70 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

2nd living stay distributes 70 -90 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

3rd living stay distributes 80 -100 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

4th living stay distributes 100 -120 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

5th living stay distributes 100 -140 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

1st -- 3rd life month distributes 160 -180 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

4th -- 6th life month distributes 140 -160 ml of drinking amount in milliliter per kilogram of weight of the child over a day

Example: Need it, if a baby 4000 weighs gram, then as of the 2nd week about 160 ml to 180 ml of milk per kilogram of body weight. These are 4 X 160 milliliters = 640 milliliters. This amount of drinking spreads out in this age on six to eight meals per day. At six meals it is around 105 milliliters per meal
