In a newborn, formula typically keeps them satisfied for about 2-3 hours. Because it digests more slowly than breast milk, this time can extend to 3-3.5 hours. However, every baby is different — some newborns get hungry again in 2 hours while others may sleep up to 4 hours. The main factors affecting how long a baby stays full are: how much they drink at each feeding, the type of formula (some specialty formulas are more filling), and your individual baby's metabolism. Watching for hunger signs (rooting, sucking movements, fussiness) is more reliable than watching the clock.
