    Follow baby’s signs of hunger and fullness.

    Watch for cues of hunger and fullness. Expect baby to eat small amounts at a
    Birth–7 days
    time. Baby will need to be fed often.
    1–2 weeks 2–3 ounces (60–90 mL) 6–10 14–26 ounces (420–780 mL)
    3–8 weeks 3–5 ounces (90–150 mL) 5–8 17–35 ounces (510–1050 mL)
    2–5 months 4–6 ounces (120–180 mL) 5–7 20–39 ounces (600–1170 mL)

    At around 6 months, your baby will start to eat solid foods. Once baby begins to
    eat more solid foods, she will begin to drink less formula.

    When your baby is 9–12 months old, you can start replacing formula with
    pasteurized 3.25% (homogenized) milk as long as he's eating iron-rich foods
    at most meals.
    9–12 months
    As your baby eats more solid foods, she will begin to drink less formula/
    3.25% milk. By 12 months of age, your baby needs 16 ounces (500 mL)
    of 3.25% milk per day.

    12 months Infant formula isn’t needed for most healthy babies after 12 months.

    and older Offer 2–3 cups (500 mL–750 mL) of 3.25% milk each day as part of meals
    and snacks.
