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.
Another way to express this rule of thumb is that the average baby takes 2 or 3 ounces of formula each day for every pound of body weight, up to a maximum of 32 ounces. A newborn weighing 7 lbs. will take an average of 14-21 ounces of formula in a day. A 4-month-old weighing 14 pounds needs 28-32 ounces. Nevertheless, these are general guidelines. In real life, this may vary quite a bit from day to day and from baby to baby.
