Daily formula needs vary by age, weight, and feeding method. As a general guide:
0–6 months: Your baby will usually take what they need—typically feeding 6–8 times daily. If breastfeeding, the amount isn't measured; feed until your baby is full. With formula, a rough guide is about 150–180 ml per kilogram of body weight per 24 hours, but this varies from baby to baby.
6–12 months: Once solid foods are introduced, breast milk or formula amounts decrease. Around 500–700 ml daily is common, but this depends on your baby's appetite and solid food intake.
The most important rule: feed your baby when they're hungry; don't force them to finish a set amount. Proper weight gain and 5–6 wet diapers per day are signs your baby is eating the right amount. For a precise amount, ask your baby's pediatrician.
