| Age. | Intervals of Feeding. | Average Am't each Meal. | Average Am't in 24 hours. |
| First week | 2 hours | 2 tablespoons | 1¼ pints |
| Second to sixth week | 2½ hours | 3–4 tablespoons | 1½–2 pints |
| Sixth week to sixth month | 3 hours | 6–8 tablespoons | 2½–3 pints |
| At six months | 3 hours | 12 tablespoons | 4½ pints |
| At ten months | 3 hours | 16 tablespoons | 5 pints |
For the First Week; One Feeding
| 1 Tablespoon of whey.[64] | ⅔ Tablespoon of cream. |
| 1 Tablespoon of water. | ⅙ Teaspoon of sugar. |
| Or Biedert's cream mixture: | |
| 1 Tablespoon of cream. | 3 Tablespoons of water. |
| ¼ Teaspoon of milk-sugar. | |
| Or, | |
| 1 Tablespoon of milk. | 3 Tablespoons of water. |
| ¼ Teaspoon of milk-sugar. | |
If it is desirable to make at once a sufficient quantity of Biedert's cream mixture for several feedings, the above rule multiplied by eight will furnish enough for eight bottles, and is as follows: one cup of cream, three cups of boiling water, and one tablespoon of milk-sugar. Mix all together; put the mixture in equal portions into eight feeding-bottles, and plug each with cotton. Either sterilize it or put it immediately on ice to keep.
After the First Week, and Until the Sixth Week
Use either the cream mixture, the whey mixture, or the following:
2 Tablespoons of cow's milk.
4 Tablespoons of water.
1 Teaspoon of Mellin's food.
⅓ Teaspoon of milk-sugar.
