Each baby is different. Newborns have small, frequent feedings. As the baby grows, feedings become larger, and

A baby’s appetite will change with age, activity, and growth. Babies have growth spurts around 2, 3 and 6 weeks,
and at 3 and 6 months. They may want extra feedings at these times.

Stools are generally dark, firm, and easily passed.

your baby finish the bottle; it is best to follow your baby’s cues.
