What this means

A widely used rule of thumb is that babies need roughly 150 mL of milk per kilogram of body weight per day in the first six months, a little more for newborns and a little less as solids take over. Dividing the daily total by the number of feeds gives a per-feed amount. These are starting points — babies self-regulate, and hunger or fullness are the real signals to follow.

Recommendations

  • Let your baby feed on demand; the numbers are a guide, not a quota.
  • Watch the diapers and weight trend as the real signs intake is adequate.
  • Aim to increase amounts gradually rather than forcing a target.

Watch out

  • Every baby differs — appetite, growth spurts and illness all change intake day to day.
  • This is informational. Feeding concerns or poor weight gain warrant a pediatrician's advice.
