A member asked:
How much formula can i give my 9 weeek 14 pound baby ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The general rule is a baby can take up to 1/2 its weight in pounds as ounces. A 10 lb baby would take 5, etc,, That is a starting point Increases or decreases by 1/2 ounce can be adjusted based on whether baby takes all or leaves some. Eight ounces would be a max early on.
