Should Follow Formula Tin Recommendations Or PD?

New daddy here.. PD advised wk 1 newborn 50-60ml, then subsequent week increment of 10ml each. So by week 4 we feeding 100ml now. But the tin indicates wk 3/4 120ml.. Should we follow PD or the formulation recommendations? Diaper count and poo healthy still even when you following PD, but we don't want to over or under feed our LO... Any advice?

1. Follow tin but do not force baby to finish bottle if you notice that baby is already pushing it 2. Follow tin but if you see that baby always spit out milk after feed, adjust accordingly. This is where your PD’s advise may come into play. More importantly, do not dilute. Please do the math based on tin instructions to get the reduced FM:water concentration
