Formula help!
Hi, everyone! So I'm leaving my little man in Ireland with his Daddy and flying to the US for work tomorrow. I'll be gone for 5 nights. He's drinking formula whilst I'm gone for the first time. He takes it fine (he'll consume anything you give him) but how much do we give him? The can says 240ml 4x a day....does he need anything else?? What about plain water?? Anything Dad needs to know?? We are clueless about formula.....

I would do 6oz bottles, then make as needed if he wants more. At 9m my toddler took about 6-8oz in one feed.

Do you give water to him too throughout the day??

Breast fed babies rarely eat more than 3.5-4oz at a time and should be pace fed. You can look up pace feeding on YouTube, there's some helpful videos.

My LO drinks formula every 4 to 5 hours and takes 5 to 6 ozs and he eats solid food. U can give them water u have to watch them with it.
