Five-month infant feeding guide

Five-month-old babies can already add some complementary food to their babies besides drinking milk. Especially in the case of insufficient breast milk, you can give your baby some juice or rice paste. So what is the normal interval? Let's have a look.

Feeding interval

The feeding interval of a 5-month-old baby can be kept at about 2-3 hours. If the baby is hungry, you can feed him some complementary food to satisfy his hunger.

Supplementary food addition time

5-month-old babies should be exclusively breastfed, and complementary food can only be added at 6 months. When the baby is older, drinking milk alone can no longer meet his physical development needs. So at this time, parents should carefully prepare complementary food for their children.

Juice and rice soup

You can start with simple juice and rice soup, and then eat rice paste and fruit puree.

Rice paste and rice soup

5-month-old babies can eat some complementary foods appropriately. A 6-month-old baby can be fed about 200ml each time, 4-5 times a day, vegetable juice (puree) or fruit juice (puree) can be fed 2-3 times a day, each time is about 80ml(50g), rice flour is fed 1 time, 20g each time, and egg yolk 1/4.

Milk intake

The 5-month-old baby's daily milk intake is about 950 grams of milk powder, about 196-224 grams each time. But many babies grow up to 5 months, and the amount of milk they eat begins to decline. Parents are very anxious when they see it. In fact, it is very common for babies to eat less milk for five months, so parents don't need to make a fuss.
