A. The amount of formula milk a baby needs can vary depending on their age, weight, and appetite. Here’s a general guideline for how much formula to give a baby in 24 hours based on their age: ### General Formula Feeding Guidelines: 1. **Newborns (0-1 month)**: - **Amount**: About 2 to 4 ounces (60-120 ml) per feeding. - **Frequency**: Every 2 to 3 hours. - **Total in 24 Hours**: Approximately 16 to 24 ounces (480-720 ml). 2. **1-3 Months**: - **Amount**: About 4 to 6 ounces (120-180 ml) per feeding. - **Frequency**: Every 3 to 4 hours. - **Total in 24 Hours**: Approximately 24 to 32 ounces (720-960 ml). 3. **3-6 Months**: - **Amount**: About 6 to 8 ounces (180-240 ml) per feeding. - **Frequency**: Every 4 to 5 hours. - **Total in 24 Hours**: Approximately 30 to 36 ounces (900-1080 ml). 4. **6-12 Months**: - **Amount**: About 6 to 8 ounces (180-240 ml) per feeding. - **Frequency**: 3 to 4 times a day. - **Total in 24 Hours**: Approximately 24 to 32 ounces (720-960 ml). ### Key Points: - **Adjustments**: Adjust the amount based on your baby’s hunger cues and growth. Some babies might need more or less than the standard guideline. - **Consult Your Pediatrician**: Always consult your pediatrician for personalized recommendations based on your baby's specific needs and growth patterns. - **Signs of Hunger**: Watch for signs of hunger, such as rooting, sucking on hands, or fussiness, to determine if your baby needs more formula. If you have any concerns about your baby's feeding patterns or nutritional needs, discussing them with your pediatrician can provide tailored advice and reassurance.
