Ages 9 and Older. Protein requirements for children ages 9 and older vary based on the childâs age and gender. The Institute of Medicine encourages children ages 9 to 13 to eat at least 34 grams of protein every day; girls ages 14 to 18 need 46 grams of protein; and boys ages 14 to 18 require at least 52 grams of protein each day.
A baby between the ages of 6 and 12 months needs around 95 grams of carbohydrate, 11 grams of protein and 30 grams of fat per day, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Generally, a baby aged 7 months will drink up to 32 ounces of formula per day, with solid food making up the rest of his calories. Since formula contains 20 calories per ounce, drinking 30 ounces of either will provide 600 calories, the bulk of your baby's caloric needs.
