I have out my older version (Second Edition)of Riordan and Auerbach here 
on my lap. It says that if one converts the baby's weight in pounds to 
total ounces, and divides that number by 6, the answer will be the amount 
of milk the baby neds in 24 hours to secure a 4-6 ounce gain in weight per 
week.

Does that help?
