My baby is feeding every 2 hours on formula

How much formula does my baby need?

Newborn babies need quite small amounts of formula to start with. The amount will vary from baby to baby.

Although most babies settle into a feeding pattern eventually, they vary in how often they want to feed and how much they want to drink.

Feed your baby when they show signs that they want it.

Babies tend to feed little and often, so they may not finish their bottle.

Having a big feed does not mean your baby will go longer between feeds.

How do I know if my baby is getting enough formula?

Your baby's weight gain and the number of wet and dirty nappies will tell you whether your baby is getting enough formula.

Your baby should have around 6 wet nappies a day from a few days after the birth.

Nappies should be wet with clear or pale yellow urine, or feel heavy.

For the first day or two after birth, your baby will pass a dark, sticky substance known as meconium. Within the first week your baby should start to pass pale yellow or yellowish brown poo.

They should be having at least 1 poo a day.
