Milk – How Much Should the Baby Drink??

Milk – How Much Should the Baby Drink??

I learn something new everything. Well, after waiting for 2.5 hours at the pediatrician, I told myself, ‘die die’ must ask a lot of questions!!!!

The first thing I learnt – never visit a pd on Mondays or Saturdays. Unless it’s for a matter of life and death!!

The 2nd thing I learnt – how to calculate the intake of milk for an infant. The mathematical formula is :
Amount of milk per feed (ml) = empirical no x body mass (kg) / no. of feeds in 24hours

The empirical no is 120 to 150.

Simple right??
