If i decide to give formula - how do i know how much?

[Caz10]

long story re weight gain, supply issues, etc etc blah blah....

anyway! if at any point i need to resort to giving 6wk old DD one feed ENTIRELY formula - how do i know how much to give? she gets 2oz sometimes at the moment but that's as a top up. do i simply just go with what it says on the box?!

I would offer 3-4 oz and see how she goes. At that age thats how much my ds was having 3 hourly. He always had more per day than it says on box, but HV said that was fine. Hope that helps. Good luck! x

I just gave my DD formula when ever she was hungry, how much she wanted, she always drank about 4oz
