Baby Milk Calculator

Estimate how much formula or milk a baby needs per day and per feeding, based on weight and age — a feeding guideline for parents.

About this tool

Enter your baby’s weight and age to estimate daily formula/milk intake and a typical per-feed amount — a starting point for new parents rather than a prescription.

Feeding anxiety peaks in the first months, and the "150 ml per kg" rule grounds you in numbers. If your baby is producing enough wet diapers and growing well, you are on track — the pediatrician stays the final word.

FAQ

How much formula does a baby need?

A common guideline is 150 ml per kg of body weight per day, split across feeds. Babies vary widely; hunger cues are the guide.

How many feeds per day?

Newborns: 8-12 short feeds; 1-3 months: 6-8; 4-6 months: 5-6 solid-feeding patterns begin after that.

Why is this just a guideline?

Growth spurts, illness and temperament change intake. Always confirm feeding plan with your pediatrician.
