Work out breast milk requirement instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Multiplies infant weight by the daily millilitres-per-kilogram requirement and divides across the day's feeds, with energy at 0.67 kcal per mL of breast milk.
Infant feed volume
Daily volume = weight (kg) x 150 mL/kg/day (typical term infant); per feed = daily volume / feeds; energy = volume x 0.67 kcal/mL

It is a guide for term infants after the first week; preterm and catch-up growth requirements are higher.
No. Demand feeding with weight gain and output monitoring is the norm; volumes matter for expressed or formula feeding.
