as much as he wants. this is when you need to feed him when he's hungry. after about 6 months he can get on a schedule.

It's different with every baby. I recently had a daughter, and when she was six weeks she drank about 3 ounces every 3 hours. At night she would drink a little less often. At six weeks, you can basically feed them on demand. Feed your baby when the baby is hungry and let the baby drink until the baby doesn't want any more.

Usually I think it is between 4-6 ounces and every feeding. Which is probably like every 4-6 hours? I believe the rule of thumb is 1 ounce for every hour in between the last feeding. The baby will let you know when he has had enought, most of the time. Sometimes they suck only because the nipple is in their mouth. Good luck!

Your baby will know when he/she is full. Just be sure to burp the baby in between the ounces. If the baby can handle four ounces total, burp after one or two then go ahead and give more.

have a look on the box, they always give a guideline, try making 150ml a few times then see how much the baby is drinking, I fed my baby every 3 to 4 hours

All babies are different, I would say on average 2-4 ounces every 2 hours

i would start with a 4 ounce bottle. If baby is still hungry make more. When you have to make more I would only make 2 ounces at a time so you don't have to throw it away.

as much as the baby can take without spitting it up. If they spit it up then you are giving them to much. They will go through spurts of eating alot to not eating very much. Don't force them they will eat when they are hungry.
