Newborn milk consumption

How much formula ml is normal for newborns to consume? Nurses recommended 25ml per feed but it’s not enough for my Son. How much can I double up that’s safe for him?

My nb start at 30ml. At 2 weeks old, doctor suggest 45ml. I think if ur nb is still hungry can feed more. No harm unless it increase drastically then u can consult PD

Nurse also rec 25ml per feed but my lo seems hungry before the schedule feeding time, so in the end I feed her by demand

i fed my newborn on demand and start at 60mls per feed atleast 2-3hrly for 2.5months.
