Ideal amount of feed
My son is 18 days old and is on mixed feed ( pumped breast milk and top feed).
I am confused as to what should be the normal amount of milk given per feed.
His birth weight was 3.4 kgs.

It is best to avoid formula. It may lead to many problems like digestion, infection etc. Don't worry about amount of milk per feed. Check weight every week. Weight gain is the measure of adequate milk. Meet a lactation consultant for better guidance
