Infant Formula Calculator

For all your infant formula needs

 Instructions

This online calculator helps with measuring infant formula. We make it so easy that even a baby could do it. To use the calculator, perform the following instructions:

  1. Select your desired brand from the drop-down menu.
  2. Enter your current ratio. You can find this information on the recipe sheet provided to you by your doctor.
  3. Enter the number of feedings* you would like to make.
  4. Enter the volume of total formula mixture per feeding. You can find this information on the recipe sheet given to you by your doctor.
  5. If you have incorrectly entered one of these values, an error message will pop up, informing you of what is wrong.
  6. Once you have properly entered all of these quantities, press the "Calculate" button. Text will appear in the yellow box adjacent to the teal one.
  7. Carefully read the yellow box, ensuring you have selected the correct brand, ratio, number of feedings, and assigned volume per feeding.
  8. Follow the values exactly and prepare formula.
  9. And you're done!

*We strongly recommend that you make one large batch of formula for the entire day (approximately 8 feedings per day but this varies by infant), as it will not only reduce waste but will also save you time.
