Summary
This calculator estimates recommended formula and breast milk intake for infants from birth through 12 months. It uses the standard guideline of 2.5 oz (75 mL) of formula per pound of body weight per day, capped at the 32 oz daily maximum, and accounts for the typical feeding frequency at each developmental stage. Results are rounded to practical, easy-to-measure values and are intended as a general guide — always follow your pediatrician's specific instructions.
