Bottle Feeding Use an iron-containing infant formula according to directions. Make up 4 oz. Your baby will take 2 to 4 oz. per feeding. Expect to feed baby 6 to 7 times a day, about every 3 to 4 hours. Feeding should take 20 to 30 minutes.
Cleanliness is most important.
Sterilize all bottles and nipples. The milk formula may be any temperature between cold and slightly warmer than body temperature. Test the temperature before feeding. Test the nipple before warming the bottle. Holes in nipples should be large enough to allow drops to form at the tip and fall off with very little shaking.
