How to choose Baby bottle size

Baby bottle size

three different sized baby bottles

Baby Feeding Bottles also come in different sizes. Size is measured by the amount of formula or milk the baby bottle can hold.

Baby bottles generally come in two different sizes:
Small: 4 or 5 ounces
Large: 8, 9 or 10 ounces

So how do you choose the right size for your baby? Generally infants and preemies will go with smaller sizes (smaller babies have smaller tummies) and older babies will go with larger sizes.

You can use this guide to determine choose an appropriate baby bottle based off how much your baby bottle drinks.

You can find the full table and feeding frequency here.

Newborn – 1.5-3 ounces every meal
2 months – 4-5 ounces every meal
4 months – 4-6 ounces every meal
6 months – 6-8 ounces every meal

This is simply a loose guideline and many parents recommend you feed your baby smaller meals more times a day to prevent bloating. If you go this route then you will only need a smaller BABY BOTTLES (4 ounces would do it). Parents on a budget: If you are looking to save money then you can get away with only buying large bottles. While your baby is young you only fill the bottle to half way. By doing this you will not need to spend money on a small baby bottle that is quickly outgrown.
