(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.
As a generic estimate, I averaged these two to come up with an âaverageâ formula price of $0.19/ounce. So, if we do a straight multiplication here, we find that over the first year of life, average formula to feed an average baby costs $1,733.75, while the cost of breastmilk is $0.reastfeeding requires 400 to 500 extra calories for the mother per day. This is around one extra meal per day, or 33% extra food per month of breastfeeding. This is still probably less expensive then formula, but it is not as much of a windfall as you thought.
