Question
My child has been crying and fussy lately, and doesn’t eat much. How much formula should a two-month-old baby be given?
Answer
Babies naturally have varying appetites, so it’s not necessary to be overly concerned about the amount of formula they drink. Some may drink more due to a larger appetite, while others will drink less. As long as the baby’s growth and development are going well and their weight is increasing normally, there’s no need to be overly fixated on the amount of formula. Moreover, as the baby grows to four to six months and starts incorporating solid foods into their diet, the amount of formula they consume will naturally decrease, so there’s no need to insist that the baby drinks a certain quantity every day.
