how long i must feed my newborn baby with milk?

Answer 1

What milk? Breast milk? Cow's milk? Goat's milk? Formula? You have to give more information.

Answer 2

The baby needs breastmilk or formula for one year--after that you can switch to cow's or soy milk if you choose to. Solids are usually best introduced around 6 months, starting with a single grain rice cereal for a couple of weeks to get the baby used to a spoon. Then you can try fruits and vegetables. Try each different food for a few days in a row to make sure there are no allergies. Most doctors do not recommend diluted juice or water until after six months since it can be filling and make the baby not want formula/milk or food. Milk/formula is the most important source of nutrients for an infant.

Answer 3

I hope you are NOT feeding your newborn baby Cow's milk. A newborn should be on infant formula or breast milk ONLY for the first 3 months. Cereals, fruits and veggies can be introduced after 3 months or as directed by your baby's doctor. In any case, formula or breast milk should be the primary source of food for at least the first 12 months. Cows milk should not be introduced until after 2 years old. Contact your baby's doctor for more specific instructions based on your baby's individual needs.

Answer 4

I hope you mean mothers milk or baby formula, no newborn is ready for milk, much to heavy and not the amount of nutrients a newborn needs. A baby should be breast fed or formula fed for at least the 1st yr. that was my MDS advice, he then said even when she was ready for regular milk it could be upsetting to the stomach at first, if so to use skim or dilute the whole milk 25 percent water. As your baby develops by the 2nd or 3 rd mo you will be instructed by your pediatrician about adding baby cereal,fruits etc. to your babys diet.

Answer 5

The longer you can nurse your baby the better, for this is nature's food. Nursing for the first year is typical, but some mothers go even longer. At 6 months your baby can be weaned to formula or goat's milk, but is not ready to digest cow's milk for at least a year. Of course all children need milk of some kind for teeth and bones.

Answer 6

You infant will need either breastmilk or formula made for infants 12 months and under for the first year. After 1 year you can either continue with a formula made for babys over 12 months or switch to whole milk. Your baby will need milk through his/her whole life.

Answer 7

Hopefully you mean your milk. If so, the World Health Orginization recommends 2 years with supplemental foods being added late in the first year. Solids are not meant to replace mother's milk, just to intruduce other sources of nutrition.

Answer 8

Do you mean with breast milk or formula? Well, a child needs to have either breast milk or formula until the age of 12 months. Then, the child can switch to whole milk.

Answer 9

newborns have to have either breast milk or formula for the first 12 months. they may then start drinking whole milk after 12 months..

Answer 10

It depends on what you prefer. Ask your doctor. Generally, babies start to get weened of breastmilk at about six months. Start giving them baby foods like applesauce about that time, or earlier. Don't bother buying all that fancy baby food...babies can start eating solid food a lot earlier than you think. The difference between mashed peas and regular cooked peas isn't very much. Same with mashed carrots or just well cooked carrots. My mom never bought the Gerber "meals" of mashed up food for us, she just fed us the same thing everyone was havin, only smaller bites. But again....see your pediatrician if that makes you feel better.
