Hi there! Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! At 5-6 weeks, babies can be quite varied in how much formula they drink, but there's a general guideline that may help you. Typically, a baby of this age might consume around 2.5 ounces (75 ml) of formula per pound of body weight over a 24-hour period. On average, this could be about 20-30 ounces (600-900 ml) a day. However, every baby is unique, and it's important to watch for hunger cues rather than sticking strictly to a schedule. Signs that your little one is hungry include sucking motions, rooting (turning their head towards your hand when you stroke their cheek), and showing excitement or fussiness. If you're ever unsure or if your baby seems unusually fussy or unsatisfied, always feel free to reach out to your pediatrician for more personalized advice. Enjoy these precious moments with your newborn! Take care! https://invl.io/cll6she
