just wondering how much formula your LO has in 24 hrs. Ds eats every 3-4 hrs. I read on here a lot of LO his age are eating every 2-2.5 hrs. Im wondering if he is getting enough.
To determine your baby's daily formula intake range, multiply your
baby's weight by two. This is the lower end of how many ounces he needs
in a 24 hour period. Then multiply his weight by 2.5. This is the upper
range of ounces required.
For example, a 12 pound baby would likely need 24 to 30 ounces in a
24 hour period. To determine how many ounces per bottle, divide those
amounts by the number of feedings your baby takes per day. In this
example, if your baby is taking 6 bottles in 24 hours, he would need
approximately 4 to 5 ounce bottles.
