How much milk do babies usually drink?

Patient's question:

Doctor:
  Hello!
  My daughter is 2 months old. Due to insufficient breast milk, we are now mixed feeding.
Since we cannot measure the amount of breast milk, we only record the milliliters of formula milk prepared each time daily to monitor the child's formula intake.
  Could you please tell me how much milk (in milliliters) is considered normal for a child as they grow from 2 to 12 months? How many times a day and how much boiled water should a mixed-fed infant be given?
  Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is still recommended that you let the baby suckle the breast more, as this helps with milk production. Do not feed them too much at one time, as it can easily lead to overfeeding, and the baby's spleen and stomach are relatively weak. Pay attention to the baby's mental state and bowel movements. If the bowel movements are abnormal, seek medical attention promptly.
Child health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this condition, consider adopting general treatment methods. Only by using proper methods can family members help children recover from the illness as soon as possible, without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child falls ill, parents will help them recover as soon as possible.
