How much does baby need?

I am going back to work and trying to figure out how many ounces my baby will need at each feeding he will be 12 weeks old and somewhere around 15 lbs and nurses every 2 hours. Thanks

Hi, I am not sure but this post sounds familiar to another one that I replied to today already, so sorry if i am repeating myself. At this point your baby will need anywhere between 3-6 oz per feeding. It's easy to overfeed with the bottle because it's hard for a baby to stop the flow once the nipple is in it's mouth, so you will need to start with 3oz and see how that works. Also, don't forget to burp in between.
