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).2  Then divide 25 oz by the number of nursings.e 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). 2  Then divide 25 oz by the number of nursings.
