My son goes through a can in a week. He's 4.5 months and has 6 oz. 5 times a day.

If your baby needs two ounces every two hours, and there are 24 hours in a day that is 24 ounces in a day (12*2). 96/24=4 days worth of formula. Of course it is more like every 2-3 hours that they need formula, and they normally sleep longer during the night and do not need as much food. On the other hand some babies want four ounces every 2-3 hours. It really just depends on how much your baby eats. I looked at the ad, it doesn't look like such a good deal for the convenience of ready feed bottles. But that is my opinion. Kudos for stocking up before the baby is here, it will save you money when the baby actually gets here. Good luck! EDIT: The other answerer is very right, your baby could need to go on a special diet of soy formula or one with different vitamins depending on what their dietary needs are. Maybe stocking up would not be such a great idea. Still, good luck!

It depends on the age of your baby. For example the younger they are the more they drink. My son from two months up to nine months would go through a 25.7 oz can of formula in three to four days.

A can that size will make about 180 ounces of formula. Just figure how many ounces your baby takes in a day, and divide that number into the 180 ounces. If your baby is small and taking only about 4 ounces every 3 hours, then this can of powdered formula will last you about 5 days.

Depends on each baby individually and how old your child is. Infants will drink around 2-3 oz per feeding and then work their way up to 8oz per feeding so it doesn't last too long.

Powdered? We went from 2-3 large cans a month until our daughter was 5 months, then it bumped to 4-6 cans a month.

Depends on the baby's age. Older babys usually eat 8oz. every 4 hours..
