#asktheexperts My baby takes 40 to 30 ml of expressed breastmilk at each feed and sometimes 80 to 70 , but takes feed 12 to 15 times a day and makes sure to drink 500 ml plus breastmilk daily - he is playful , active , takes cat naps in the day, sleeps 5 hrs at a stretch in the night - is this fine??

A. On average, a newborn drinks about 1.5-3 ounces (45-90 milliliters) every 2-3 hours. This amount increases as your baby grows and is able to take more at each feeding. At about 2 months, your baby may be taking 4-5 ounces (120-150 milliliters) at each feeding and the feedings may be every 3-4 hours.
