A member asked:
How often should i bottle feed my baby and how much is the volume every feeding? in the middle of the night, should i wake her up to feed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basic guidelines: A bottle fed baby is ready for a day feed every 3-4 hours and after 10 pounds may sleep through the night without a feeding. The stomach can usually tolerate a volume equal to half their poundage:10 lb= 5 oz. I wake kids to feed during the day but not at night.
