Overview
Calculate the recommended daily feeding amount (breast milk or formula) based on your baby's age and weight. References include the WHO and Korean Pediatric Society guidelines. Feeding intervals and per-session volumes are also provided. Individual needs vary, so consult your pediatrician.
Formula
General infant feeding guidelines: - Newborn (0–1 month): Weight (kg) x 150 mL/day, every 3 hours, 60–90 mL per feed - 1–3 months: Weight (kg) x 150 mL/day, every 3–4 hours, 90–120 mL per feed - 3–6 months: Weight (kg) x 120–150 mL/day, every 4 hours, 120–180 mL per feed - 6+ months: Begin complementary foods, gradual reduction in milk volume * For breastfeeding, responsive (on-demand) feeding is recommended.

Tips
- ✔For breastfeeding, responsive (on-demand) feeding is best.
- ✔Newborns have small stomachs (about 5–20 mL capacity) and need frequent small feedings.
- ✔Adequate feeding can be confirmed by urine frequency (6–8+ wet diapers/day) and steady weight gain.
- ✔Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for formula dilution. Making it more concentrated is dangerous.
- ✔This calculator is a reference guide; follow your pediatrician's advice for your baby's individual needs.
FAQ
Q. How much should my baby eat per day?
Up to 1 month, approximately 150 mL per kg of body weight per day. For example, a 3.5 kg baby needs about 525 mL/day (roughly 65 mL per feed, 8 times/day). As babies grow, the per-feed volume increases while feeding frequency decreases.
Q. How do I know if my baby is getting enough?
Signs of adequate intake include 6–8+ wet diapers per day, regular bowel movements, and weight gain following the growth curve. If you notice signs of dehydration (decreased urine, dry lips, sunken fontanelle), visit your pediatrician immediately.
Q. Can I mix breast milk and formula?
Mixed feeding is possible and practiced by many parents. However, avoid mixing breast milk and formula in the same bottle. Instead, breastfeed first and then supplement with formula if needed.
