A. At this age, usually demand feeding is followed. 60-120 ml of formula milk is safe at this age. however if be sleeps for more than 4 hrs at stretch, then wake him and feed. Hypoglycemia is not good for infants

A. Feed Only on demand and at this age a child can easily have somewhere around 60 ML of milk so give that much only and don’t feed your child if your child is sleeping for longer durations like you already mention that you have to feed your child only on
