How much breast milk does a baby eat at one time?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The stomach capacity of newborns is very small (initial stomach capacity is 30~35ml, at 3 months it is about 100ml, at 6 months it is 200ml, and at 1 year it is 300~500ml). Additionally, the amount of gastric juice secreted is low. The gastric emptying time varies depending on the type and nature of the food. Breastfeeding results in a gastric emptying time of 2~3 hours, while formula feeding takes 3~4 hours, and water takes 1~2 hours.
