In the first months, many parents ask the same question: is my baby drinking enough? A practical clinical reference is the ml/kg method used in paediatrics.
Our calculator estimates both daily milk volume and amount per bottle from age and weight — useful for formula and pumped breast milk.
Rule of thumb by age
- 0–6 months: around 150 ml per kg body weight per day
- from 6 months: around 120 ml/kg/day as solids are introduced
- upper practical limit: about 960 ml/day

Babies do not drink exactly the same amount every day. Growth spurts, mild illness, temperature, and sleep changes can all shift intake temporarily.
Focus on trend and clinical signs: wet diapers, expected weight gain, alertness, and comfortable feeding without repeated vomiting.

For the newborn and infant period, you may also use the APGAR score calculator, the child growth percentile calculator, and the child dosage calculator.
Bottom line
A baby feeding calculation is a practical guideline, not a diagnosis. Use the baby feeding amount calculator to structure daily feeds, and consult your pediatrician or midwife if intake or growth seems off.
