How Much Baby Formula Is Needed Per Day For A Child?
Hi! my baby girl is 7 months and 21 days. She had Nan 1 for 5 months and then i switched to Lactogen 1 GOS FOS+DHA infant formula. Does it have enough iron? and she never really like milk so i had to switch to solid food. So how much formula is needed per day for her body? i give 10 spoons of milk with 3 spoons of oatmeal (milk spoon from the can) with 2 ounce water. Will that cause any strain in her organs?

Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes it does have iron
If you are not breastfeeding then you need to give 5 to 7 times a day.
If you are breastfeeding, then weaning foods should be cereals and fruits and pulses, formula once or twice should be enough
Wishing your child speedy recovery
