Question

How much formula should my 6 weeks old babies have a day? We are feeding 120 ml every 3 hours or else they cry. Is that okay?

Answer

Do remember that all babies are different and grow at different rates. In general, at 1-2 months of age, babies are recommended to have about 140ml, 5 times every 24 hours. However, if your babies are having a growth spurt, they may need more. I would advise speaking to your healthcare professional to check their growth and advice on how much you should be feeding them.
