A. Every baby is different and you should take this slowly. You can start with sixty ml and Try increasing the baby's feed by five or ten ml and see if he or she tolerates it without spitting or vomiting. Then slowly increase the quantity and the extend the interval between feeds. If the baby spits up or vomit then you have to continue with the same amount u give the baby now for few more days and then try again.
