Baby Feeding Chart for Year One
How Much Milk Should I Feed My Baby?
The amount of formula and/or breast milk your baby needs will vary as they grow. And although there is no custom guide, a baby feeding chart can help minimize guesswork.
This chart is based on WHO Growth Standards, the Pediatric Nutrition Care Manual and input from Bobbie’s team of medical advisors.

These recommendations are based on normal growth patterns for healthy term infants and are provided as general guidance to estimate how much Bobbie to order, always consult your infant’s healthcare provider to ensure your child's unique needs are being met.
Formula-Fed Baby Poop, Spit Up and Gas
A newborn’s poop can vary in frequency and consistency, so don’t be alarmed if your baby doesn’t poop every day or if their poop is a different color than what you’re used to seeing. Below, we’ll break down what you should expect from your baby as they move through different age groups.
While gas and spit-up are normal for babies, regardless of their diet, there are ways to ease a gassy baby’s discomfort and reduce the likelihood of spitting up.
For example, things like burping your baby after feedings and paced bottle feeding can help with gas, while propping them up during feedings may help reduce spit up. If you have concerns about either of these issues, please talk to your pediatrician.
My baby is:
Did you know? At 0-2 Weeks...
Poop
Is greenish/black and looks like tar.
Spit Up
Most newborns will spit up during burping with a feed.
Gas
Digestive system is still forming; spit up after and in between feeds is normal.
Did you know? At 1-4 Months...
Poop
Yellow/brown and looks like peanut butter. Warning: This is peak diaper blowout stage!
Spit Up
Peak spit up is with reflux at 4 months old.
Gas
Warning! Baby hits peak fussiness post feeding, most often from swallowing too much air.
Did you know? At 4-6 Months...
Poop
Adult-like turds: firmer, darker and smellier.
Spit Up
Introduction of solids brings new meaning to spit up.
Gas
Introduction of new foods will bring new gas (and new smells!) Veggies and high fiber foods can actually cause the most gas!
Did you know? At 6-12 Months...
Poop
Fewer, larger poops and changing consistency with solid foods.
Spit Up
Spit up usually goes away by 9-12 months.
Gas
Fussiness after eating should be at an all time low. Teething? That’s another story.
