how much should breastfed baby eat
The research tells us that exclusively breastfed babies take in an average of 25 oz (750 mL) per day between the ages of 1 month and 6 months. Different babies take in different amounts of milk; a typical range of milk intakes is 19-30 oz per day (570-900 mL per day).We can use this information to estimate the average amount of milk baby will need at a feeding: 1  Estimate the number of times that baby nurses per day (24 hours). Estimate the number of times that baby nurses per day (24 hours). 2  Then divide 25 oz by the number of nursings. 3  This gives you a âballparkâ figure for the amount of expressed milk your exclusively breastfed baby will need at one feeding.
