A. Hello there Start with 30 ml and see how much the baby is consuming. As the baby is preterm the baby might take even less. So you will know what is the capacity of the baby. Feed accordingly next time

A. 4 months old: 6 ounces (180 mL) per feeding. 6 months old: 7-8 ounces (210-240 mL) per feeding.
