how much milk a 12 pound three month 2 weeks old baby should drink per day ?

Answer 1

As much as he or she wants. Feedings should not be limited. Babies get hungry when their bodies need food and stop eating when they are no longer hungry. Limiting food could be detrimental, especially when baby hits a growth spurt and suddenly needs more than you expect them to need. Just go with the flow.

This applies whether the baby is breastfed or formula-fed. I see no indication of method of feeding and don't presume to make any assumptions.

Answer 2

My daughter is 11 months old now , she was born at 8 1/2 pounds at 3 months she would drink 7 oz. of milk every 3 hours even with baby food.It depends on your baby if shes still hungry after you give her the amount you just feed her then give her more,its not like shes on a diet cause they just poop it out anyway,also you cant always listen to your doctor.Every child is diffrent.My doctor said shes healthy and just has a good appatite.

Answer 3

The ideal caloric requirement at this age is 55 - 60 Calories per pound per day, in your case 720 Calories.
There are 20 Calories per ounce of formula or breast milk. 720/20 = 36 ounces.

If you multiply your child's weight in pounds by 3, you will get the approximate number of ounces an infant will consume in a 24 your period. REMEMBER, this is a guideline, an ESTIMATION that works for the first three months of age.

Answer 4

I would say around 7oz if she finishes this amount then try 8oz until she finishes the whole bottle and keep going til she is having a full one then maybe try her with some baby rice in the mornings to fill her up if she still seems hungry, i'm afraid it's all a bit trial and error till all of a sudden you get into a proper routine and get to know what they will and won't have

Answer 5

The baby should be drinking between 30-36 ounces of formula a day. That's what my daughter's pediatrician told me. As they get old though, they will drink less formula when they begin to eat more foods and start on solids and baby cereals.

Answer 6

a 14 week old baby should not drink any milk other than mom's. the babe should feed till full. there is no need to limit the amount of milk.

Answer 7

6-8 bottles of 4 oz. each is a good start. Allow your child to eat until full. Now the Feminazi Lactivist Gestapo will come in here to point out your are a horrible parent for chosing formula. I suggest ignoring them as the rest of us do. Sadly we can't stop them from being complete, self-serving, idiotic, pathetic wastes of human flesh and have no way of stopping them from breeding but it is time to start using their own tactics against them.

Answer 8

As much as they want.

Only adults eat when not hungry, or starve themselves to loose weight.
