#askdoctors sir my baby is 5 month old...in 1 day how much of formula milk can we give to our child

A. As a rule of thumb, infants under 6 months who haven't yet started solids should be taking 2 to 2½ ounces of formula per pound of body weight over a 24-hour period. So, if your baby weighs 10 pounds, that would translate to 20 to 25 ounces of formula a day; in a 24-hour period you'll be feeding your baby about 3 to 4 ounces every four hours.
