Baby Food Batch & Portion Calculator

Calculates the water for a batch of baby rice porridge at a chosen ratio and how many servings it makes. It also counts freezer cubes from a batch of puree, how many days they last, and the total of one meal.

How to use

1. On "Porridge ratio", choose what the rice is "Measured as" and the "Water ratio", then enter the "Rice amount" to see the water and yield.
2. Enter "One serving" to see the number of servings, or choose "Rice and water from servings" to work backwards.
3. On "Freezer cubes", enter each food's "Weight (g)", how it was "Weighed" and the "Cube size". Add "Cubes used per day" to see how many days they last.
4. On "Meal total", enter the count and weight of each part of a meal.

How it works

• Water = rice × ratio. Yield = (rice + water) × (1 − share lost while cooking), 10% lost by default. 1 ml of water is counted as 1 g.
• At the same ratio, rice flour or cooked rice gives a thinner porridge than soaked rice. Check which base your recipe uses.
• Textures, amounts by age and when to start new foods are not covered; follow your paediatrician or official guidance. Your food lists are saved in this browser.

Questions and answers

How much water for 30 g of rice at 1:10?

30 × 10 = 300 ml of water. With 10% lost while cooking, the yield is about 297 g, or 4 servings of 60 g with a little left over.

Is the ratio based on soaked rice or rice flour?

It depends on the recipe. The tool multiplies the amount of the base chosen under "Measured as", so choose the same base as your recipe.

How many freezer cubes will my puree make?

Divide the cooked weight by the cube size. 200 g of cooked puree in 20 ml cubes makes 10 cubes, which last 5 days at 2 cubes a day.

Which ratio should I use for my baby's age?

The tool does not set textures by age. Choose the ratio from your paediatrician or official weaning guidance, and use the tool for the amounts.
