7 mths old to take formula for week while I am out of town
« on: October 08, 2013, 15:40:58 pm »
Hello,
I have to leave my BF DS2 for 7 days at the age of 7 mths.  He is going to have formula while I am gone.  He is fine with the bottle.  He BFs at:
6.30AM
11
3.30
6.30
11PM
4AM

How do I go about knowing how much formula to feed him?  How many oz?  He is average all around and is a good eater.  Will he still need that many feeds if formula fed?  If not, when/how often?

Thanks!

How much does he take in a bottle now? I would just offer the same amount of formula that you do of breastmilk and at the same times - if he is still hungry it's easy to make up a bit more!
