FAQ

Where does the 2.5 oz/lb rule come from? +
It's a long-standing pediatric guideline — most babies need ~2.5 oz of formula per pound of body weight, up to ~32 oz/day max. Babies vary; this is a starting point.
Should I follow this or my pediatrician? +
Your pediatrician. This calculator is for planning grocery runs, not feeding decisions. Hungry babies tell you what they need.
