How much formula to feed your baby: Where to start In general, babies eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full, so it's important to pay attention to your baby's hunger cues and resist the temptation to encourage your baby to finish each bottle. A few notes: These guidelines are for babies who are exclusively formula-fed for the first 4 to 6 months, and then fed a combination of formula and solids up to age 1.
If your baby is getting a combination of breast milk and formula , talk to his doctor for separate advice. Your baby's doctor can tell you where your baby falls on the growth charts and help make sure he's growing steadily and getting a healthy amount of formula.
If you're ever worried that your baby is getting too little or too much formula, talk with his doctor. Sources BabyCenter's editorial team is committed to providing the most helpful and trustworthy pregnancy and parenting information in the world.
