How much stage 1 formula should I give to my baby?
Every infant formula has a feeding table on the product label. Use this as a guide, as the amount of stage 1 formula your baby needs will vary depending on your baby’s age, weight, and individual appetite. Hunger and fullness cues are a helpful guide, as some babies may take more or less formula milk than the amounts shown on the tin.
