Formula
Daily Need ≈ 150 mL/kg (range 120-180 mL/kg) | Per Feeding = Daily Total / Number of Feedings
Breastfed babies typically need about 150 mL (5 oz) per kg of body weight daily during months 1-6. This stabilizes around 750-900 mL (25-30 oz) per day. Per feeding = daily total divided by number of feedings.
Worked Examples
Example 1: 5kg baby, 8 feedings
Problem:5 kg baby, 3 months, 8 feedings/day
Solution:Daily: 5 x 150 = 750 mL. Per feeding: 750/8 = 94 mL (3.2 oz)
Result:750 mL/day, 94 mL per feeding
