POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. For a 23-day-old baby, the general guideline for formula feeding is about 2.5 ounces (75 ml) of formula per pound of body weight per day. However, this can vary based on the baby's appetite and growth needs.
Here’s a rough estimate:
1. Daily Total: If your baby weighs around 8 pounds (3.6 kg), they would need approximately 20 ounces (600 ml) of formula per day.
2. Feeding Frequency: Newborns typically feed every 2 to 3 hours, so you can divide the daily total into several feedings. For example, if you are feeding every 3 hours, you would give about 2.5 to 3 ounces (75-90 ml) per feeding.
Always pay attention to your baby's hunger cues and consult your pediatrician for personalized advice, especially if you have concerns about their feeding or growth.
