Baby drink lesser than she supposed to be?

Mummies i wanna ask ur opinion Baby weight now 5.5kg so by right she shd drink 5.5x150ml = 825ML per day - correct? But my LO only drink 600ish per day (including dream feed) (formula milk) Btw it has been going for 3 weeks. The amount of milk quite consistent Is this something i shd be worried about?

Nope! I too thought my baby should be drinking according to her weight but nope, thats just a rough gauge, doesnt mean baby stomach can take in that much. when i gave him that amount (calculated according to her weight) he’s always puking. So i went to ask paediatrician at polyclinic and they told me diff baby diff stomach size. Just because their weight is like that doesnt mean they can take so much, their stomach is still little. Anything more than that, they will either reject or puke out. We should only feed what baby can take in. I was feeding 80ml for my 1 month whos weighing 4.4kg, by right 80+ml but doc told me to reduce to 60ml and monitor if baby still puking out milk.
