Neonatal Feeding Volume (mL/kg/day)
Neonatal enteral feeding volumes: total daily mL/day = weight kg x target mL/kg/day and per-feed mL for the chosen feeding frequency (term newborn typically 150 mL/kg/day per AAP Pediatric Nutrition).

Example
- Weight
- 3.2 kg
- Target volume
- 150 mL/kg/day
- Feeding frequency
- q3h (8 feeds/day)
Result: 3.2 kg at 150 mL/kg/day, q3h: 480 mL/day, 60 mL/feed.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What you enter
- Weight (kg)
- Target volume (mL/kg/day, term ~150)
