A 3-month-old baby typically consumes about 24 to 32 ounces (approximately 710 to 950 ml) of breast milk per day. This amount is usually spread across 6 to 8 feedings in a 24-hour period

Feeding Frequency and Amount per Feeding

• Breastfed babies at this age often feed every 2 to 3 hours during the day and may have longer intervals at night, roughly every 2 to 6 hours

• On average, each feeding session may involve about 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 120 ml) of breast milk

• Some babies might take up to 5 ounces per feeding, but generally, breastfed infants do not exceed this amount because breast milk composition changes and is more easily digested than formula

Feeding on Demand

• It is recommended to feed breastfed babies on demand, watching for hunger cues such as rooting or sucking on fists, rather than strictly adhering to a schedule

• During growth spurts, babies may want to feed more frequently or consume slightly larger amounts

Summary

• Total daily intake: 24–32 ounces (710–950 ml)
• Number of feedings: 6–8 per day
• Amount per feeding: about 3–4 ounces (90–120 ml), up to 5 ounces occasionally
• Feeding pattern: on demand, roughly every 2–3 hours during the day

This range supports healthy growth and meets nutritional needs for a 3-month- old infant

. If there are concerns about feeding amounts or frequency, consulting a pediatrician or lactation consultant is advisable.
