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).
So for an average 3-month-old baby boy who weighs 13 pounds, that would be about 32 1/2 ounces a day. The AAP also states that 'most babies are satisfied with 3 to 4 ounces per feeding during the first month, and increase that amount by 1 ounce per month until reaching 8 ounces.' Keep in mind that these are still averages, though, and some babies require more or less formula at each feeding and on each day.
