how many fluid ounces of formula can a newborn have in a day
Significance. Babies will take in about 2 to 3 ounces of formula every day for every pound she weighsâbut not more than 32 ounces a day. A newborn baby weighing 8 pounds will take in 16 to 24 ounces of formula a day while a 6-month-old who is 12 pounds may eat 24 to 32 ounces a day. Remember that this is just a guideline. Your baby may eat more or less than this; she may be able to go longer between feedings or need to be fed more often.
