Normal: Formula intake increases over the first 6 months of life rapidly. Consult an infant feeding chart. Between 2-4 weeks your baby should be taking in up to 4 ounces 6-8 times a day. Infants in this age group benefit from cycled schedules: every 3-4 hours, feed then change diaper, then play with them, then let them sleep. They will not take 1-2 naps like older babies. They will spend 18-20 hrs sleepin
