Remember—there are no absolutes when it comes to how much formula or breast milk to feed your little one at each meal. The average 9-pounder may take as much as 6 ounces at a feeding, or less than 2. Looking for a little more guidance? A very rough general rule of thumb is to take your baby’s weight and multiply it by 2.5—that’s the total number of ounces to feed your baby over the course of a 24-hour period.
