Hi, my baby is currently 2 weeks 4 days old. Is it ok that his demand for milk is very high? I used to feed him 30 ml formula or breast milk but off late we had to increase formula to 50 ml and increase the frequency of breast milk. Sometimes that is also not enough. His current weight is 3.1 kg approx and passes urine frequently.

A. Hello, your baby boy is newborn just 21 days old and he is demanding breast feeding frequently so if his weight is 3.1 kg then give him 30 ml formula milk per kg of his body weight at every three hours
