Feeding Your Baby at 4 Months

Now you can clearly see your baby`s development from the first month to now. It laughs, responds to you, and can demonstrate motor skills. Nutrition will be added to these changes. The 4th month baby feeding may be different compared to other months.

  • Breast milk (if available) or formula is still the most important source of nutrition for a 4-month-old baby.
  • Feeding a 4-month-old baby that does not receive breast milk: 180-240 ml in one meal for the baby 4-5 times a day
  • Adequate and varied nutrition is effective on the amount, content and duration of breast milk. Since you haven`t switched to complementary food during this period, your baby needs more milk. For this, you should continue to havea balanced diet, stay away from stress, sleep as much as possible and consume plenty of fluids.
  • In the 4-month diet, the intervals between breastfeeding may be longer.
  • Although it varies from baby to baby, a 4-month-old baby can be full up by taking breast milk 4-6 times a day.
  • Your baby will consume more milk at less intervals. You need a sufficient amount of milk for this.
  • Continuous gas pains in the first 3 months go on in this period also, however, you can see that the baby is more relaxed in this regard.
  • Your baby has not completed the 6th month yet and should continue to be fed only with breast milk. Do not start supplementary foods unless your doctor recommends complementary foods in special cases.
