👦 Baby Feeding Guide

About these numbers: Figures are population averages built from commonly cited pediatric feeding guidelines (rapid stomach-capacity growth in the first days, then a plateau of roughly 750–900 mL per day from about 1 to 6 months, gradually easing as solids are introduced after 6 months). Real intake varies with body weight, appetite, growth spurts, and whether a baby is exclusively or partially breastfed/formula-fed. This tool is for general information only — it is not medical advice. Always confirm feeding amounts with your pediatrician or a lactation consultant, especially in the first weeks of life.

Sources for these figures:

• CDC – Newborn Breastfeeding Basics (feeding frequency, early days)
• CDC – How Much and How Often to Feed Infant Formula
• CDC – How Much and How Often To Feed (older infants, transition to solids)
• HealthyChildren.org (American Academy of Pediatrics) – Amount and Schedule of Baby Formula Feedings
• KellyMom – How much expressed milk will my baby need? (1–6 month plateau figure)
• Fed Is Best Foundation – The Newborn Stomach Size Myth (day 1/3/7 stomach-capacity ranges and their caveats)

Day-by-day and week-by-week values between these published anchor points are estimated by linear interpolation, since most sources publish ranges for broad age bands rather than a figure for every single day.
