Bottle feeding questions

M

1d ago1 min read

We're supplementing with formula and I'm confused about everything. How do I know if he's getting enough? His diapers seem wet enough but I'm paranoid. Also what temperature should the bottle be? I've been running it under warm water but some guys at work said I'm doing it wrong. Help.

Check the formula container for the mixing instructions - they're usually pretty clear about ounces per feeding. And don't stress if your baby doesn't finish every bottle, that's totally normal.

Congrats on the new addition! The formula questions are normal - honestly I'd ask your pediatrician about amounts but generally if he's having wet diapers and gaining weight you're doing it right.

How many weeks old is he? The amounts change as they get bigger so that might be why you're confused about what you've heard.
