This tool helps you determine the right amount of expressed milk to feed your baby.
How to Use the Expressed Milk Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the amount of expressed milk to feed your baby based on their age and weight. Simply enter your baby’s age in months and weight in kilograms, then click the “Calculate” button.
How the Calculation Works
- If your baby is 6 months old or younger, the calculator multiplies their weight by 150 to estimate the daily milk intake in milliliters.
- If your baby is older than 6 months, it multiplies their weight by 100 to estimate the daily milk intake in milliliters.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides a general guideline. Every baby is unique, and their milk intake can vary. Consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice.
