Now that your baby is eating solid foods, planning meals can be more challenging. At this age, your baby needs between 750 and 900 calories each day, about 400 to 500 of which should come from breast milk or formula (approximately 24 oz. [720 mL] a day).

By the end of their first week, most will need around 150 to 200ml per kilo of their weight a day until they're 6 months old. This amount will vary from baby to baby.

The AAP also says that "most babies are satisfied with three to four ounces per feeding during the first month, and increase that amount by one ounce per month until reaching eight ounces." Keep in mind that these are averages, and some babies require more or less formula at each feeding and on each day.
