Useful information for calculating baby's needs

Use the weight of the baby to estimate the amount of breast milk to leave for each feeding. The following example calculates a 12 pound baby's needs

• Round the baby's weight to the nearest half pound (12 pounds).
• Multiply this weight in pounds by 3 (12 x 3 = 36).
• Divide by 8 to get the number of ounces of breast milk to leave for each bottle-feeding (36/8 = 4.5).
• Therefore leave 4-5 ounces of breast milk for each feeding.
