POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. The quantity and time gap for feeding milk powder (formula) to your son can vary based on his age and specific needs. Here's a general guideline for formula feeding:
### Newborns (0-1 month):
- **Quantity**: 60-90 ml (2-3 oz) per feeding
- **Frequency**: Every 2-3 hours
### Infants (1-3 months):
- **Quantity**: 120-150 ml (4-5 oz) per feeding
- **Frequency**: Every 3-4 hours
### Infants (3-6 months):
- **Quantity**: 150-210 ml (5-7 oz) per feeding
- **Frequency**: Every 4-5 hours
### Infants (6-12 months):
- **Quantity**: 210-240 ml (7-8 oz) per feeding
- **Frequency**: Every 4-6 hours
### General Tips:
1. **Hunger cues**: Watch for hunger cues such as sucking on fists, smacking lips, or rooting.
2. **Fullness cues**: Stop feeding when your baby shows signs of fullness, such as turning away from the bottle or falling asleep.
3. **Growth spurts**: During growth spurts, your baby may want to feed more frequently or take larger amounts.
4. **Night feeding**: Newborns and younger infants may need to be fed during the night.
Always consult with your pediatrician to determine the best feeding plan for your son's specific needs, as these recommendations can vary based on individual growth and development.
