Laura,
I purchased laminated cards several years ago from Geddes Productions, that
calculate the amount of intake for infants from 5 pounds to 20 pounds, and
another calculation for premature infants with the same weights. I use it
often as a visiting nurse to calculate if infants are getting enough. I use
it as a general guide, and show it to the moms.
The address is:

<< Subject: 24 hr. intake formula
 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.   >>
