4 month old baby

A 4 month old baby will still be on a liquid-only diet. Some parents choose to begin solids at the 4-month mark, but most doctors recommend waiting until baby is 6 months old to start regular food. If you do decide to spoon up solids starting now, keep in mind that your baby doesn’t need more than a tablespoon of food once or twice a day. Plus, those solids will only be for practice, not for nutrition.

Your 4 month old baby growth will be fueled by the still-important-as-ever breast milk or formula. If you’re nursing, count on an average of five to six feeds a day to keep up with baby’s growing needs. That’ll come to about 24 to 36 ounces of breast milk a day.

If you’re formula feeding, you’ll be serving up the bottle an average of five times a day, with around 6 to 8 ounces of formula per bottle for a total of 24 to 36 ounces of formula a day. All that food will help to keep 4 month old baby at a healthy weight and height.
