When can babies move to fformula as 3 week grandaughter is hungry baby and wakes regularly for feeds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There is no difference in the calories provided by formula and breast milk. 3 week old babies should be feeding around every 3 hours. And they should be waking at night for feeding. There is no reason to switch to formula.
