(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.
Although there's no exact science for how often infants should be fed, many experts recommend on-demand feeding rather than sticking to a strict feeding schedule. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a nursing newborn should eat about 8 to 12 times every 24 hours for 10 to 15 minutes or so on each breast. Infants fed with formula may eat less often since formula takes longer to digest than breast milk. The AAP also says that a well-nourished breastfed infant should have about 4 to 6 wet diapers (or 6 to 8 cloth diapers) and 3-4 poopy diapers over a 24-hour period.
