How much milk will baby want

Your baby's needs vary from day to day. During the first weeks of life, 6 feedings (bottles) of 125ml of formula may be enough.

As he gains weight he may need more. As a rough guide, your baby needs about 150ml per kg of body weight every 24 hours.

So if a 5.5kg baby is on six feeding a day, he make take about 140ml of formula at each feeding.
