What was the reason for starting formula? Try to shift to only breastfeeding till 6 months. Meet a lactation consultant. Also there is no fixed ml we can say. Increase it by 10ml and check. Increase in steps of 10 ml each time.

Please give frequent and consistent Breast Feeding. Give from one breast at a time for 15-20mins n then only if needed switch to other.. Inspite of all the measures to ensure Breast feeding by your doctor, if you need formula, it is always on demand and as much as he wants
