What are the guidelines for how many ounces babies need?
« on: April 24, 2011, 03:16:59 am »
Hello,
Can someone tell me what are the average guidelines for how much formula (ounces) a 8 month old to 12 month old needs? Provided he/she is on solids three times a day.

Thanks,

I know that a good rule of thumb is 2.5 ounces per pound in 24 hours...so a 10 pound baby would get around 25 ounces in a day. But that is only if the lo is not having any solids....

  Try this link...thank God for google!!!   ;D
