Prepare the formula according to the directions and amounts suggested as a guide only. Follow your baby’s cues to know when they have had enough to drink. Give your baby a short break in the middle of the feed if needed and reoffer the bottle. They don’t need to finish all of the bottle. Watch for signs they are full including turning their head or pushing the bottle away, closing their mouth, arching back, or crying.
As solids are introduced around 6 months, milk intake may gradually decrease. Expressed breastmilk or formula milk are still the main form of milk to be offered under 12 months of age.
