Kalau sebentar tadi kita blajar pasal fluid, ni kalorie pulak ye.

Simple shj.

Calories requirement.

Term babies: 110 kcal/kg/day

Premature babies: 120-140 kcal/kg/day

Caloric content:

expressed breast milk: 20 kcal/30ml

normal infant formula: 20-22 kcal/30ml

preterm infant formula: 24 kcal/30ml

Yg formula milk ni, dia varies, depend on the type of milk tapi more or less the same dgn kt atas ni.

goal: weight gain of 10-25g/kg/day

So, cth:

6 months old baby, weight 6 kg, taking normal infant formula, 120ml milk, 5 times daily. Calories intake per day???

take 20 kcal in 30 ml.

so: in 120 ml = (120 x 20)/30 = 80kcal

baby ambik milk 5 times daily, so

80 x 5 = 450 kcal/day

So, jadinya 75 kcal/kg/day.

Cukup ke x? mestilah tak sbb sepatutnya 110 kcal/kg/day.

Jadi mak kena la bagi makanan selain susu. Bubur, nestum etc etc ataupun instead of 120 ml, naikkan jadi 150ml milk each feeding.

Selamat mencuba!
