I would have thought it would be easier to look up how much a bottle-fed baby needs to eat! What I found was a rule of thumb, baby's weight in pounds times 2.5 for number of ounces to drink, and this table, with average number of feedings and ounces per feeding.
age in months | total daily amount (oz) | number of daily feeds | amount of feeding (oz) |
0-3 | 24-32 | 5-7 | 3-6 |
4-6 | 32-36 | 4-5 | 6-8 |
7-12 | 20-30 | 3-4 | 5-8 |
(Babies start solid food at 4 to 6 months, so they eat less liquid after 7 months.)
