Question: how many ounces of breastmilk should my 4 month old be drinking?
Answer: Your baby needs less breastmilk in his bottle than he would formula because breastmilk has more nutrients per ounce, and your baby is able to digest it more fully than he would formula. Babies between 4 and 6 months old generally take anywhere from 3 to 5 ounces of breastmilk from a bottle during a given feeding.
