Looking Ahead
• As your baby grows, his or her belly grows too. Your baby will be able to drink larger volumes of formula or expressed breastmilk as they get bigger and the time between feedings will get longer.
• Remember-every baby is different, and each feeding amount might look different.
• Solid foods should be started at about 6 months of age
• Most babies will double their birth weight by 5 months of age and triple their birth weight by their first birthday.
Average feeding volumes:
Birth to 2 months 2 to 4 months 4 to 6 months 6 to 12 months
2 to 3 ounces 4 to 5 ounces 4 to 6 ounces 7 to 8 ounces
