How much breast milk does a one-month-old baby drink at one time?

Patient's question:

How many times a day does a three-month-old baby drink milk? How many milliliters each time? I haven't learned about it before and want to understand.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Newborns are generally breastfed according to the principle of on-demand feeding, meaning they should be fed whenever they need it. Under normal circumstances, at this age, the baby is usually fed about 160-180 milliliters per feeding, every 3-4 hours. During breastfeeding, it is important to observe the baby's bowel movements, as this can give a general idea of their digestive and absorption status. Normally, the baby should have 1-3 bowel movements per day, with well-formed stools.
