My baby's birth weight was 3.2 kg and gained 400 gm on the first month. Now he is 4.3 kg. he has gained 700 gm with in 20 days. I m feeding him both formula(60%) and breast milk(40%). I m giving him 22 to 25 ounce. I have read baby's weight in pounds * 2.5 =should be the feeding amount in ounce.(9 pounds*2.5=22.5 ounce ) But i m not sure. Please tell me am i following the right guideline? Please share ur feeding experience and the results u have seen.

I give him pumped breast milk. 22-25 ounce includes formula and breast milk both.

The weight gain is in the normal range. The formula calculated is also fine but you have to remember that baby is also taking breast milk so adjust for that. Additionally never force feed. Allow baby to decide how much he wants to take.
