Newborn Feeding Calculator
Calculate optimal feeding amounts and schedules for your newborn with our comprehensive calculator. Determine milk quantities based on baby’s weight, age, and feeding method.
Step 1: Baby Specifications
Understanding Newborn Feeding
Newborns typically need 150-200 ml of milk per kg of body weight per day. Breastfed babies feed more frequently than formula-fed babies, usually 8-12 times per day.
Step 2: Feeding Parameters
About Feeding Efficiency
Feeding efficiency accounts for milk that may be spilled or not fully consumed during feeding. Higher efficiency means more milk is actually ingested by the baby.

Feeding Amount Formula
Per Feed = (Baby Weight × Amount per kg × Efficiency) / Feeding Frequency
To calculate feeding amount: Multiply baby weight by the recommended ml per kg, adjust for feeding efficiency, then divide by the number of feeds per day.
