How much calories a baby should intake per day? Around 1000 calories? But it is reported that a 16-months-old toddler in Britain who was born three months early is being fed 3,000 calories a day! Why? Because the baby is still 6lb under weight and she need to those extra calories to grow.
Baby Agatha Holloway was born via Caesarean section on new year’s eve 2007. But as she was born three months early, Agatha had some severe complications and almost died. The medical team at St George’s Hospital, south London, had managed to resuscitate her and put her on to a life support machine after birth.
Now Agatha's diet includes high-calorie prescription milk, clotted cream, full fat butter, high fat roasted meats and chocolates. Note that the 3000 calories per day mark is 500 calories more than the recommended daily intake for an adult person!
