1 Red blood cell indices. 2  There are three red blood cell indices: mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). 3  They are measured by a machine, and their values come from other measurements in a CBC.

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).
Then there are the concrete, in your face, cash today costs. Once a baby ends up at one or two months of age, they consume on a daily basis about 30 oz of either breastmilk, (Ding, ding, ding, free!) or formula. Letâs add that up. Formula costs about .11 cents per oz on average. If you are worried about the nutritive benefits your child is not receiving due to formula feeding, you might reach for the more expensive cans that have substances added to âenhanceâ your babyâs IQ, physical coordination, digestion, etcâ¦but these have not been proven to actually do the things they say they will.
