A formula fed baby will eat 2 to 3 ounces every 3 to 4 hours in the beginning, while a breast fed baby may eat every 1 1/2 to 3 hours.

Bear in mind that your baby may want less than this in the first week, before he settles down to a pattern of feeding (UNICEF 2010) . 1 Once your baby is fully established on solids, he’ll need about 500ml to 600ml (16oz and 20oz) of formula every day alongside a varied diet (DH 2009a) . 2  If he doesn’t want this amount of milk, you can always give him milky foods such as yogurt and cottage cheese.
