What is the Standard Amount of Milk Intake for Babies?

The standard for baby's milk intake depends on the age. For newborns, the milk intake should be controlled at around 20ml each time. After one month, it can be increased to 100ml each time. It is recommended to feed small amounts multiple times to facilitate baby's digestion. However, each baby's appetite varies greatly. If some babies are not satisfied with 100ml and start crying, they can be fed a little more.

1. The milk intake of newborn babies will increase with the baby's age, and each baby's situation is different. The stomach capacity of newborn babies is small, usually eating about 20~30ml and requiring multiple feedings.

2. As the baby grows older after one month, the milk intake will gradually increase. From 15 days to one month, the baby can drink about 100ml of milk each time, with a total daily intake of about 600~700ml. After that, the baby's feeding volume can be gradually estimated based on the baby's development.

If relying solely on breastfeeding, a baby urinating more than 6 times in 24 hours is an indication that the milk intake is sufficient and the baby is full. If the baby urinates less than 5 times in 24 hours, it indicates that the milk intake is insufficient and the baby is not full. The stool of a breastfed baby is soft and yellow, occurring 2-4 times a day, indicating that the milk intake is sufficient and the baby is full.
