Q.

#AskTheExpert hi how much milk I can give to my 4weeks old baby ? I give her 90ml after 3hrs and 120ml after 4hrs but she still seems hungry. Also I burp her for 15 to 20min but she still takes out milk in small quantities even after 1 hour of feeding

A. Babies require between 150 ml and 200 ml of formula per kg of body weight each day. That is, if a baby weighs 3 kg, it will need between 450 ml and 600ml of formula per day. However they may not want to drink that much in their first week or not take the same amount at each feeding, so keep in mind not to force them to feed.
