How to Determine the Formula Intake for a One-Month-Old Baby?

Answer

For a one-month-old baby, it is generally recommended to consume about 550 milliliters of formula daily. This is typically divided into 8 to 10 feedings, with intervals of about 2 to 3 hours between feedings. It is important to adjust the number and amount of feedings based on the baby’s needs and to record the intake after each feeding to ensure they receive adequate nutrition. Additionally, the baby’s bowel movements and weight gain are indicators for monitoring their intake. If you are concerned about the baby’s intake being insufficient or excessive, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician or a nutritionist.
