The formula for calculating an infants 24 hr. intake is wt. x 2.5.  Could someone explain to me where the 2.5 comes from?  I calculated intake for an infant using this and the nursery nurse used a different formula.  She came up with a number too high in my opinion per day and per feed based on what we use.  I felt unprepared to explain how I arrived at my figures which seemed more in line for what the baby needed.  Thanks.
