It translates daily energy requirements into milliliters per day and per feeding, alongside approximate feeding frequency targets. Notes explain how formula concentration affects volume, why bottle-fed kittens may grow more slowly, and how increasing feeding volume can reduce feedings while staying below comfortable stomach capacity to lower risks like aspiration, vomiting, diarrhea, and gas buildup.","Kitten Bottle Feeding and Stomach Capacity Chart  \n\n| Estimated\u003Cbr>Kitten Age\u003Cbr>(weeks) | Kitten\u003Cbr>Weight\u003Cbr>(lbs, oz) | Kitten\u003Cbr>Weight\u003Cbr>(grams) | Daily Caloric\u003Cbr>Requirement* | Amount of Formula Per Day (ml)** | Amount Per\u003Cbr>Feeding (ml)* | Approximate\u003Cbr>Number of\u003Cbr>Feedings Per\u003Cbr>Day*** |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| \u003C 1 week | 2 oz | 57 g | 11 kcal | 15 ml | 2 ml | 7 |\n|  | 3 oz | 85 g | 17 kcal | 23 ml | 3 ml | 7 |\n|  | 4 oz | 113 g | 23 kcal | 31 ml | 5 ml | 7 |\n| 1 week | 5 oz | 142 g | 28 kcal | 38 ml | 6 ml | 7 |\n|  | 6 oz | 170 g | 34 kcal | 46 ml | 7 ml | 7 |\n|  | 7 oz | 198 g | 40 kcal | 54 ml | 8 ml | 7 |\n|  | 8 oz | 227 g | 45 kcal | 61 ml | 9 ml | 7 |\n| 2 weeks | 9 oz | 255 g | 51 kcal | 69 ml | 10 ml | 7 |\n|  | 10 oz | 283 g | 57 kcal | 77 ml | 11 ml | 7 |\n|  | 11 oz | 312 g | 62 kcal | 84 ml | 12 ml | 6-7 |\n| 3 weeks+ | 12 oz | 340 g | 68 kcal | 92 ml | 14 ml | 6-7 |\n|  | 13 oz | 369 g | 74 kcal | 100 ml | 15 ml | 6 |\n|  | 14 oz | 397 g | 79 kcal | 107 ml | 16 ml | 5 |\n|  | 15 oz | 425 g | 85 kcal | 115 ml | 17 ml | 5 |\n| 4 weeks+ | 16 oz (1 lb) | 454 g | 91 kcal | 123 ml | 18 ml | 5 |\n|  | 1 lb, 1 oz | 482 g | 96 kcal | 130 ml | 19 ml | 4 |\n|  | 1 lb, 2 oz | 510 g | 102 kcal | 138 ml | 20 ml | 4 |\n|  | 1 lb, 3 oz | 539 g | 108 kcal | 146 ml | 22 ml | 4 |\n| 5 weeks+ | 1 lb, 4 oz | 567 g | 113 kcal | 153 ml | 23 ml | 4 |\n\n* The daily caloric requirement was calculated using 20 kcal/100 g body weight and the amount per feeding using 4 ml/100 g body weight. The energy requirement is ~20-26 kcal/100g body weight daily and the maximum comfortable stomach capacity is ~4 ml/100 g body weight. 1  \n** Concentration 0.74 kcal/ml. Most commercial kitten milk replacers in the US provide less than 1 kcal/ml (0.74 kcal/ml), acting to increase the volume of milk required to meet caloric needs. This can be problematic in terms of the number and size of feedings given relative to stomach capacity and more likely to result in gastrointestinal disturbances. This may also account for why bottle fed kittens grow slower than kittens that nurse off a mother.  \n*** As the kitten is adjusting well to the milk and the feeding volume, you may be able to increase the volume fed to help reduce the number of feedings per day. Be aware that exceeding the stomach capacity (amount per feeding) may put the kitten at risk of aspiration, vomiting, diarrhea, and gas build-up in the stomach and intestines.  \n+ Kittens at this age (3 ½ -5 weeks) are usually eating some solid food, decreasing the amount of milk replacer required to meet daily caloric requirements. This may result in less frequent milk feedings.  \nCited reference:  \n1 Lawler, D.
