Formula feeding - Pennine GP Training

How much do they need? From newborn, baby needs from 20ml/kg up to 150ml/kg by the end of the first week of life. E.g. 4kg baby requires 600mls/24 hours. This equates to 4 feeds at 150mls or 5 feeds at 120mls. After one week a baby needs 5 fluid ounces per kg per day divided over four to five feeds. ................
