Hello!
Is the baby is also on breast feeding?
At this age and weight the requirement of formula feed is 25-30 ml 2 hourly
Try to give breast milk maximum as you can aspecially night time feeding that will increase the milk production
Baby's feeding is always demand feeding
But make sure that don't over fed with formula fed.
Next Steps
counselling for breast feeding position attachment and else if still breast feeding is low

It is demand feeding. You can give the quantity which she desires. Give her that much which makes her sleep atleast 2 hrs after feed and makes her pass uring atleast 6 to 8 times daily. 60ml every 2 hrs is ok
