(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.
Breastfed babies need frequent feeding. Newborn babies feed at least 6â8 times a day, and up to 12 times. This helps them grow, and maintains breast milk supply. During the day some babies may sleep only for short times and want to feed often, while others may go for 3â4 hours between feeds.
