For a 4-month-old baby, the typical formula feeding amount is about 5 to 7 ounces per feeding, given every four to five hours. This usually totals around 24 to 32 ounces of formula in a 24-hour period, spread across four to six feedings

. A general rule of thumb is to offer 2 to 2½ ounces of formula per pound of the baby's body weight over 24 hours. For example, a 10-pound baby might consume 20 to 25 ounces daily, divided into several feedings

. Feeding frequency and amounts can vary depending on the baby's appetite and growth, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends not exceeding about 32 ounces of formula per day for infants under 6 months

. Summary:

• Amount per feeding: 5 to 7 ounces (150-210 mL)
• Frequency: Every 4 to 5 hours
• Total per day: 24 to 32 ounces (710-950 mL)
• Maximum recommended daily intake: About 32 ounces

Always follow your baby's hunger cues and consult your pediatrician if your baby seems to need more or less formula
