If your baby is drinking four ounces
per feeding, you could combine two ounces of breast
milk with two ounces of
formula.
Since I wasn't producing more than 1/4 to 1/2 ounce of
milk per pumping, they were exclusively
formula fed.
Although there's no hard and fast rule about the amount of
milk your child should be drinking at this point, it's a good idea to consider that
formula -
fed babies need around 400 ml of cow's
milk at this point, and that breastfed babies should be down to two to three breastfeeds
per day by one year.
If you are
formula feeding: Beginning around 10 - months introduce 1 - ounce of whole cow's
milk in one bottle
per day.
Infants
fed both at the breast and with bottles of expressed breast
milk gained weight at a similar rate to those only breastfed, but infants gained more weight
per month when
fed only by bottle (
formula or breast
milk).
Boys who were mainly breastfed for at least six months scored 9
per cent higher in mathematics and writing tests, 7
per cent higher in spelling, and 6
per cent higher in reading, compared with boys
fed with
formula milk or breastfed for shorter periods.
Infants probably consume between 0.3 and 1 gram
per kilogram of body weight if they are
fed human
milk or an enriched infant
