Breastmilk amount per bottle

@imark Yeah, I agree that if baby isn’t hungry after 4 oz, that’s all they needed!

@katrina2017 This formula doesn’t make sense to me… this would have my baby eating 60oz per day.

@mikegray Yeah, that formula applies to newborns up to 10 pounds. Not the standard rule of thumb at all…

Edit: That formula also works for formula-fed babies. https://www.healthychildren.org/Eng.../amount-and-schedule-of-formula-feedings.aspx

@nenab Omg - that makes sense. I’ve been freaking out wondering how on earth I’m going to make enough milk to keep up with baby. Sleep deprivation makes me crazy.
