One of the benefits of formula-feeding your baby is that you can track almost exactly how much they're eating – but knowing this information can raise a lot of questions, too.

It doesn't help that the amount your baby needs may change week to week – and how much they'll eat could double over the course of a year.

"The goal is to feed your baby the amount of formula they need in order to progress along a healthy growth curve over time," says Liz Donner, M.D., a pediatric hospitalist and member of the BabyCenter Advisory Board.

If you're wondering if your exclusively formula-fed baby is getting too much, not enough, or just the right amount, these guidelines are for you. (If your baby is getting a combination of breast milk and formula, talk to their doctor for separate advice.)
