My baby is 14 weeks old and I’ve just upped his formula to 7oz. He has a bottle every 4-5 hours depending on when he shows hunger signs so this will result in about 35oz in a 24 hour period.

Hey mamas, The tin says to use boiled water cooled for no longer than 30min. With his old formula neocate I used to boiled water and fill up bottles and use this through the day.
