You can start by offering your baby 1 to 2 ounces of infant formula every 2 to 3 hours in the first days of life if your baby is only getting infant formula and no breast milk. Your child should be eating approximately 2 1 2 ounces of formula for each pound of body weight per day. Feeding your 2 month old baby feed your baby whenever he s hungry which will be often as 2 month old babies usually eat about six to eight times a day.

Breastfed infants usually take smaller more frequent feedings than formula fed infants. Give your baby more if he or she is showing signs of hunger. He ll show you he s ready to eat by making sucking motions moving his hand to his mouth whimpering or flexing his arms and hands. Your formula fed newborn will take from 2 to 3 ounces 60 90 ml of formula per feeding and will eat every three to four hours on average during her first few weeks.

Most infant formula fed newborns will feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. For a discussion of how to decide what type of milk to feed your baby read how to choose what to feed. At 2 months of age your formula fed baby will be eating four to six ounces at each feeding. After the first few days.
