Five or six bottles of 4 ounces every 24 hours.
Any baby will take a bottle or more formula just for comfort, not because they want or need it. Wait at least 3 hours in between feedings if your baby is taking 6 oz. If he/she is taking less than 2-21/2 hours in between is okay. I do think the average amount for a 4 week old is 3-4 oz. at a time. But babies also go through growth spurts where they want more for a couple of days. For example, if your baby weighs 6 pounds, you'll give her about 15 ounces of formula in a 24-hour period. If she weighs 10 pounds, you'll give her about 25 ounces in a 24-hour period. These numbers are not rigid rules. The research tells us that exclusively breastfed babies take in an average of 25 oz (750 mL) per day between the ages of 1 month and 6 months. Different babies take in different amounts of milk; a typical range of milk intakes is 19-30 oz per day (570-900 mL per day). We can use this information to estimate the average amount of milk baby will need at a feeding: 1  Estimate the number of times that baby nurses per day (24 hours). Report Abuse. 6 ounces sounds like a lot but you should add up how much they are drinking within a 24 hour period TOTAL! On average they say a one month old should be drinking about 3 ounces every 3-4 hours. That adds up to 18-24 ounces a day!!! If your baby is within this range or maybe just a little over, chances are your doctor won't really see anything wrong with this! As your baby gets older – and his tummy gets bigger – he'll drink fewer bottles a day with more formula in each. By about 1 month, for example, he may be down to five or six bottles of 4 ounces every 24 hours. At 1 month old my daughter was drinking 4oz of milk every 3-4 hours But to be honest we did used to feed her ondemand. Like if she only took a couple of ounces at one feed and wanted more a couple of hours later then we gave it to her. My daughter was 7Ibs 12 oz at birth and she weighed 9Ibs 12 oz at 1 month old.
