FAQ
Does this apply to every baby?
No. This is only a general guideline โ actual needs vary by age, growth rate, and individual factors. Always consult your pediatrician or a lactation/feeding specialist for actual feeding amounts.
Where does the 120-200ml per kg figure come from?
It's a commonly cited general guideline range for formula intake in young infants found in many parenting and pediatric resources. Needs change as a baby grows.
Is this useful for breastfeeding too?
This tool is intended mainly for formula feeding, where the amount can be measured directly. For breastfeeding, it's harder to measure intake precisely, so growth rate is typically used as the indicator instead.
