A. During the first week, most full-term babies take no more than 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60ml) at feedings. This is because newborns' stomachs are so small. After 4 to 5 weeks, babies reach their peak feeding volume of about 3 to 4 ounces (90 to 120ml) and peak daily milk intake of about 30 ounces per day (900ml).

Mom of a 3 m old boy

Q. #asktheexperts my son is now 3 months and 3 days. The breast feeding journey was just fine, 20 mins from each side on every alternate feed. But from the last couple of days he feeds from one side for just 10 mins only after that he is reluctant to continue to feed on that side. If the other side is offered he will feed on like forever. initially I thought this was due to milk shortage, but it's not. Is this an issue?
