My baby is 6 weeks 6 days old and he has 160 ml per feeding in a gap of 4 hours minimum. If I dont give him that much, he feels hungry and cries a lot. I am unable to breast feed due to some physical issue. so he is completely a formula fed baby. my concern is .. is it normal if he is having 160 ml at this age? and will be it okay if his desire for milk will increase?

Q. My son is 1 month and 10 days old. He takes formula 6-7 times a day @90 ml per feed almost every 3 hours along with some breast feeding. During night, there will be a gap of around 4-5 hours of feeding because of sleep. Will there be any problem with the time gap or should I wake him and feed for every 3 hours
