Hello,
If the baby is gaining weight appropriately - then - demand feeding is the best.
There is no volume limit or frequency which is the best. Please feed the baby up to satiety - and as per the demand, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
