Typically, babies need 100 calories to 150 calories per kilogram of intake each day.
What is the caloric requirements of infants?
Energy requirements for newborns – 2 months of age: 100-120 kcal/kg/day (from Rudolph’s Pediatrics, 21st ed.)
How do you determine caloric needs?
- If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2.
- If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375.
