(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.
How Many Ounces of Breastmilk Should a Newborn Eat? In the first few days of postnatal life, the baby requires very little milk. However, as the baby grows, the capacity to consume milk increases from 1 oz. on the first postnatal day to up to 10-12 oz. daily by week 2 and 3. By the end of week 4, the baby can ingest and digest up to 25 oz. to 30 oz. of milk daily. The average consumption of breast milk by 1 month is approximately 25 oz. (ranging from 21 to 30 oz.) and it remains the same almost throughout the first six months of postnatal life.
