Formula Explained

The calculation is based on standard pediatric feeding guidelines. The formula used is:

For powder formula, multiply the result by 1.2 to account for water needed to prepare the formula.

This formula provides a general guideline. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the formula amount for a 6-month-old baby weighing 7.5 kg:

Baby's weight: 7.5 kg
Baby's age: 6 months
Calculation: (7.5 × 100) + (6 × 5) = 750 + 30 = 780 ml
For powder formula: 780 × 1.2 = 936 ml

This means the baby needs approximately 780 ml of ready-to-feed formula or 936 ml of powder formula per day.
