Several studies have measured breastmilk intake for babies between 12 and 24 months and found typical amounts to be 14-19 oz per day (400-550 mL per day). Studies looking at breastmilk intake between 24 and 36 months have found typical amounts to be 10-12 oz per day (300-360 mL per day).
Although there's no exact science for how often infants should be fed, many experts recommend on-demand feeding rather than sticking to a strict feeding schedule. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a nursing newborn should eat about 8 to 12 times every 24 hours for 10 to 15 minutes or so on each breast. Infants fed with formula may eat less often since formula takes longer to digest than breast milk. The AAP also says that a well-nourished breastfed infant should have about 4 to 6 wet diapers (or 6 to 8 cloth diapers) and 3-4 poopy diapers over a 24-hour period.
