Are you giving formula milk? We calculate the quantity based on weight and whether baby is full term or not. For full term, he may need 15 to 20 ml per kg every 8 to 12 hours. Eg for 3kg baby it will be 45 to 60 ml per feed. Its better to avoid formula due to digestion problems, allergy chances and other issues later. Please meet a lactation consultant to establish mothers milk. Please contact directly
