How much expressed breastmilk does a 3 month old usually consume per feeding? Mine has been taking 100ml per feeding since 2 months old. Wondering if that's okay.

Hi, It differs from baby to baby but 100 ml or little more than that is fine. Also, it depends on how many times he is taking the feed. Within a week or so, you can experiment with feeing him a little more say 120ml or 130 ml, but then again that all depends on feedings per day. Also, your baby will herself demand more milk and you would know that she wants more. You can use the following information to take out the estimate amount of milk the baby would require. It is as follows: Estimate the number of times that baby nurses per day (24 hours). Then divide 25 ounces by the number of nursings. This gives you an estimated amount of expressed milk your exclusively breastfed baby will need at one feeding.
