Baby feeding schedule calculator
Baby feeding schedule calculator
A printable layout of feed times from a start time and a gap you supply — a way to write down times, not a schedule to impose on a baby.
How this is calculated
Each start is the previous start plus the gap in minutes. Each end is its start plus the feed length, where you entered one. Times that pass midnight are dated on the next day rather than wrapping silently.
- Babies feed on cues, and a hungry baby is not kept waiting for a clock. Use this page to write down times you have already agreed with your clinician or have observed, or to read a day back after the fact — not to stretch a baby to an interval.
- The layout cannot see how a feed went. A shorter or longer gap may be right on a particular day, and a clinician or lactation counsellor is the person to ask about the pattern rather than a printed sheet.
- This page is arithmetic, not antenatal care. It does not examine you or your baby, does not read a result as normal or otherwise, and does not replace an appointment. A dating scan, a growth chart and a clinician's advice take precedence over every figure here.
This page lays out feed times from a start time and a gap you supply. It is a way to write down a day, not a schedule to impose on a baby, and the warning is printed above the sheet.
A layout of times you supply
The first feed starts at the time you enter. Each later start adds the gap in minutes, and each end adds the feed length where you entered one. Times that pass midnight are dated on the next day instead of wrapping silently, so a night feed appears under the right date.
The page does not recommend an interval, because a feeding interval belongs to a baby’s age, weight and cues and to a clinician’s advice. Enter the gap you have been given or have observed, use the sheet to write the day down, and feed on cues rather than to the clock.
Questions readers ask
Why is there no recommended interval?
Because there is no single interval that fits every baby, and a page that printed one would be giving advice it cannot see a baby to support. The field is yours to fill from your own record or a clinician’s instruction.
What if the feed length is longer than the gap?
The rows overlap, and the page says so instead of hiding it. That is a fact about the two numbers you typed, not a recommendation about how long a feed should last.

Pregnancy and baby
A due date from a period or an IVF transfer, weeks, trimesters and calendar months, a feeding log, baby age and the arithmetic between two weighings — with every page saying what it is not.
- Pregnancy due date calculator An estimated due date counted 280 days from the first day of your last period, adjusted for a cycle that is not 28 days, with the convention printed.
- Pregnancy week calculator How many weeks and days pregnant you are today, counted from the first day of your last period, and how many days are left to the estimated due date.
- Pregnancy month calculator The pregnancy month you are in and the calendar months completed since the first day of your last period — because a pregnancy month is not four weeks.
- Conception date calculator An estimated conception date worked back 266 days from a due date, or forward from the last period — a single arithmetic point, not a measurement.
- Ovulation calculator The estimated ovulation day in the current or next cycle and the date the next period is due, from your own cycle length — with the warning that this is not a contraceptive method.
- Fertility window calculator A dated list of the estimated fertile window for the next few cycles, using five days before to one day after the estimated ovulation — a convention, not a measurement, and never a contraceptive.
- IVF due date calculator A due date from an embryo-transfer date, allowing for the age of the embryo at transfer — 263 days for a day-3 embryo, 261 for a day-5 blastocyst.
- Trimester calculator The trimester you are in, the day the next one begins and the days between, on a stated boundary convention — first ends at week 13, second at week 27.
- Baby age calculator A baby's age in calendar months and days, in weeks and days, and in total days, counted from the date of birth to any date you choose.
- Baby growth calculator The change between two weighings: grams gained a day and a week, and the number of days between them — not a percentile and not a growth chart.
- Baby feeding schedule calculator A printable layout of feed times from a start time and a gap you supply — a way to write down times, not a schedule to impose on a baby.
- Breastfeeding time tracker A pair of timers for a feeding session, the time on each side, the last session and a log you can read back — kept in this browser tab and nowhere else.
- Pregnancy weight gain calculator The weight gained since before pregnancy and the week you are in, compared with the range your own clinician marked — no target is published on this page.
- Gestational age calculator The gestational age on any date, worked back from a due date you have been given rather than forward from a period.
- Pregnancy milestone calculator A dated sheet of the trimester boundaries, the halfway point and the due date, counted from the first day of your last period and printed in order.
