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.

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.
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.
