I fed my bb around 60-70ml in the first month every 3 hours. You may use the guideline of 150ml x bb weight for reference (whole day intake). Each bb intake could be different, if bb is hungry and not vomiting forcefully it’s ok to feed. Increase intake by 5ml each time (for few days) if require before the next increase. My bb is 3.6kg at birth
