Now your baby is 6 month, quantity and duration will be decided by baby. We just need to offer feed every 3 to 4 hourly.

Thank you for your query The quantity of milk a baby must take depends on the weight of the baby which is approximately 30ml per kg body weight per feed For example if your baby is weighing 4 kg he should be taking at least 120 ml per feed — 6-8 feeds per day
