Berapa Ounce Susu Formula Shaheem Perlu Minum?

Assalamualaikum,

Dah tak reti nak buat tajuk pendek-pendek hehehe...

Aku selalu tertanya-tanya, untuk sekali feeding Shaheem kena minum susu berapa oz. Kalau breast feed tak risau sangat kan sebab susu ibu mudah hadam. Baby bleh hisap sampaila dia sendiri yang berhenti sebab kenyang. Macam susu formula ni dia lambat hadam sket and bahan-bahannye korang pun tahu la kannnn.. So aku sangatla takut nak bagi Shaheem hisap banyak-banyak.

Shaheem sekarang 4 bulan lebih. Kalau ikut di tin susu Snow tu Shaheem kena minum 7oz per feeding and at least 5 kali sehari. So jumlahnya 35oz sehari. Aku tak tau sangat berapa total oz Shaheem hisap sehari sebab selalu lupa nak catat dah berapa kali dia hisap susu. Tapi 7oz per feeding? Hmmmm..... Banyak tuuuuu.... Baby baru 4 bulan lebih kot huhu.. 7oz = 7 sudu susu. Huh.... Banyakkk...

Shaheem sekarang hisap 5oz je. Tu pun baru start last 2 weeks kot? Aku slowly ajar dia hisap 5oz. Sebelum ni 4oz. Awal-awal dia tak habis. Tinggal 1/2 oz kekadang. But harini dah ok dah. Bleh habiskan. Aku bagi 5 oz sebab dia dah macam tak berapa nak kenyang hisap 4oz. Habis sebotol merengek ekk ekk lagi. 

Jadi aku tertanya-tanya la kan, berapa ounce sebenarnye Shaheem kena hisap berdasarkan umur dia ni...

Mujurlah, Baby Center ada jawapannya hehehehe....

Ada 2 cara nak tahu sebanyak mana susu formula yang baby perlukan.

Satu, thru baby's weight. Tapi berat dalam pound. Aku malas nak google (sebenarnye google search aku dah crash) how to convert kg-lb so aku tak nak guna cara ni untuk tahu.

Dua, thru baby's age. Haa yang ni macam boleh pakai.

Consider your baby's age 

How much formula your baby needs depends not only on weight, but also on his age. Don't expect a newborn (or any baby, for that matter) to follow a schedule or mathematical formula. 

• If you're starting a newborn on formula, try giving him only 30ml to 60ml (a couple of ounces) at each feed for the first week.


• By the time your baby is one month old he will probably take 90ml to 120ml (3oz or 4oz at each feed). This means he will consume anywhere from 400ml to 800ml (14oz to 28oz) in one day. You'll soon sense if your baby needs more - he'll finish the feed quickly and then look around for second helpings!


• From the age of two months up to six months, you should be feeding your baby 120ml to 180ml (4oz-6oz) at a feeding. This means he'll have anything from 700ml to over a litre (23oz to 35oz) a day.


• Once your baby reaches six months, you can feed him anywhere from 180ml to 220ml (6oz to 8oz) at a feeding. His total formula intake should be roughly 900ml (32oz) per day.

Once you start adding solids to his diet, his daily intake of formula milk should gradually decrease to about 720ml (24oz). 

Experts recommend that once your baby is established on solids (taking three meals a day), he should be having approximately 600ml (20oz) of formula milk per day alongside a varied diet until he is a year old. 

After the age of one, he can move from drinking formula milk to full-fat cow's milk. 

Bear in mind that these are only rough guidelines, and your baby will let you know if he's getting too much or too little formula. If you are not sure, talk with your doctor. 

See point number 3, daripada umur 2 bulan hingga 6 bulan, baby patut minum 4oz-6oz per feeding. So okla kan Shaheem sekarang hisap 5oz. Kan kan... Total sehari tu nanti start esok aku tanda huhu... Tapi aku rasa Shaheem dah lebih kurang dah tu. Aku selalu bagi dia minum every 3 hours la at least. Kalau dia nangis ke ape aku takdela terus bagi susu. Sometimes dia nangis bukan sebab nak susu. Maybe lampin basah ke. Maybe dia dah bosan meniarap, nak dukung. Maybe dia nak jalan-jalan.Maybe dia nak tido. Banyak maybe lah selain daripada nak susu. Sometimes Shaheem pun pandai je tolak kalau aku bagi susu tapi dia still kenyang. 

Hmm hopefully jumlah susu aku bagi Shaheem sekarang ni mencukupi lah untuk dia. Tak kurang dan tak lebih hendaknye. Alhamdulillah berat dia tiap-tiap bulan pun ok. Naik dalam 600g-800g every months. Normal kan? BMI dia ok so okla tu. Takut gak kalo dia obese ke ape. Ish mintak jauh..Aku memang selalu risau bila nak pegi checkup. Takut dia terlebih berat ke ape huhuh.. Dia dahla tembam kann.. Sampai orang selalu tanya, "dah bagi dia makan keee?" No no.. Shaheem belum makan ape lagi. Minum susu je..... 

Semoga anak mama sihat-sihat selalu. Believe me baby, I always want the best for you. Sorry mama tak dapat bagi yang terrbaik (breast milk that is) tapi takpe, mama akan usaha lagi ye. Cayok cayok. Hari-hari aku pam breast tapi yang keluar angin je (sedih). But I won't give up! Doakan aku ye :) :)
