#asktheexpert my baby is 6 month old feeds only 90 or 60 ml milk

1 Answer

A. At 6 months, it is normal for babies to sometimes drink less milk, especially if they are beginning to explore solid foods. However, if your baby is only taking 60-90 ml of milk per feeding, it might be a bit low for their age, and it's important to monitor their growth and hydration. Here are some things to consider: 1. Frequent feedings: Offer smaller amounts more frequently throughout the day, as some babies prefer smaller but more frequent feeds. 2. Teething: If your baby is teething, they may be fussier with feedings and take less milk. 3. Introducing solids: At 6 months, babies can start eating solids, but breast milk or formula should still be their main source of nutrition. If they are eating solids, make sure they are still getting enough milk. 4. Hydration: If your baby is producing enough wet diapers and is active, it might be a sign that they are getting enough milk, even if the quantity per feeding seems low. If you are concerned about your baby's milk intake or growth, it’s always best to check with your pediatrician to make sure everything is progressing well.
