According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infants aged 7-12 months should consume approximately 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Therefore, an 8.2 kg baby should consume around 9.8 grams of protein each day. However, babies are usually overweight compared to their recommended weight charts at this stage, so the protein requirement is lower. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a protein intake of around 1.2-1.5 grams per kilogram of recommended weight per day for infants aged 7-12 months. For an 18-pound baby, this puts the recommended protein intake at around 12 grams per day.
