Start with recommended portions of food.. if baby gets fussy like too soon after feedings and wants more, increase that next portion a little..depends on the baby..

My daughter was pretty text book, but my brother (my mom tells me) was like a new breed of human child..! He was on like 8oz bottles at 3mths old! But he was born 9lbs..

it depends on the childs weight. 2.2ounces per lb per day. so a 10 lbs baby should have 22 ounces per 24 hrs

as much as he or she needs :) they certainly let you know if they havent had enough!! my first was formula fed born at 4p10oz my second was born at 11pound and breastfed both were super hungry and I just fed them as much as they required - if they have enough in the day they sleep at night, and babies do not know how to over eat (it's only when people do stupid things like adding cereal to bottles that thier natural ability to regulate calorie intake is compromised....) hope that helps :) btw both mine are happy,healthy, and perfectly in proportion :)

It depends on how big your baby is. In the past all of my babies were eating around 2 oz. of breast milk or formula by 2 months old. However my son was born at 32 weeks and struggled with eating and by 2 months old only weighed around 5 lbs. so he was only eating around 40-70 ml. which if he was awake enough he might take 2 oz., but most of the time we were lucky if he took 1 oz. per feeding because it would take him sometimes an hour just to take 9 mils.

2.5 ounces of milk per pound of body weight. For formula, make sure it has no corn solids or corn anything in it. These ingredients cause excess fat.

Each baby is different...from a breastfeeding perspective my boy feeds at least 8 times in 24 hrs.

A 2 months old baby does not need any type of formula milk or food, unless otherwise recommended by a registered paediatrician...... Baby's uptill the age of six months should only b breast fed..... Nothing else not even a sip of water.
