(Younger babies with smaller tummies take less milk.) Breastfed babiesâ milk intake doesnât increase from months 1 to 6 because their growth rate slows.4 As growth slows, breastfed babies continue to get bigger and heavier on about the same daily milk intake, averaging about 25 ounces (750 mL) per 24 hours.
Because of the great variability in the amount of solids that babies take during the second six months, the amount of milk will vary, too. One study found average breastmilk intake to be 30 oz per day (875 ml/day; 93% of total intake) at 7 months and 19 oz (550 ml/day; 50% of total energy intake) at 11-16 months. 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 âballparkâ figure for the amount of expressed milk your exclusively breastfed baby will need at one feeding.
