#asktheexpert How much milk is enough for a 20 days old baby?

A. For a 20-day-old baby, the milk intake depends on whether the baby is breastfed or formula-fed: Breastfeeding Feed on demand, typically every 2-3 hours (8-12 times a day). Each feed lasts 15-30 minutes (both breasts). Signs of enough milk: 6+ wet diapers per day, regular stools, and good weight gain. Formula Feeding A newborn usually drinks 60-90 ml (2-3 oz) per feed every 3-4 hours. Daily total: 400-700 ml (13-24 oz), increasing as per baby's growth. Signs Your Baby is Getting Enough Milk: ✔️ Active and content after feeding ✔️ Gaining weight steadily ✔️ 6+ wet diapers daily
