Bedtime Routines for School-Aged Children. Page Content. âââââFor school-aged children, a quick tidy-up is part of the bedtime routine: putting books and toys back on shelves and clothes in drawers and closets.
Most babies are satisfied with 3 to 4 ounces (90â120 ml) per feeding during the first month and increase that amount by 1 ounce (30 ml) per month until they reach a maximum of about 7 to 8 ounces (210â240 ml). If your baby consistently seems to want more or less than this, discuss it with your pediatrician.
While some infants may be eating just 24 ounces a day, others may need 32 ounces or more. Rules of Formula Feeding A good rule of thumb is that the average baby at this age is likely to drink about 5 to 6 ounces of formula every 3 to 5 hours. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in the book Your Baby's First Year, also provides a nice guideline and suggests that 'on average, your baby should take in about 2 1/2 ounces of formula a day for every pound of body weight.'
