If you prefer to use milliliters, then one ounce = 30 ml. In this case, the baby should be getting approximately 2.75 ounces (82.5 ml) of breast milk at each feeding. You can put 3 ounces (or 90 ml) of breast milk in the bottle to feed a baby who weighs 8 lbs 4 oz (3.74 kg).

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

Newborn babies nurse eight to 12 times a day on average, so a mother who pumps exclusively should pump that often to keep up with the demand for milk. Foster encourages mothers to pump every two or three hours. “It is not recommended to go longer than three hours at a time without expressing your milk,” she cautions.

Multiply the per-feeding amount of ounces by the number of bottled feedings you expect to need. For instance, 30 ounces divided by 10 feedings per day equals 3 ounces per feeding. If that infant is expected to eat four times, multiply 3 ounces by four to find that 12 ounces of breast milk will be needed.

A breastfed baby needs fewer ounces per bottle than a formula-fed baby, as breastmilk has more nutrients per ounce and can be digested more fully. At this age, many babies will take in 3 to 5 ounces of breastmilk from a bottle.

Answer. As a dad, I sure loved those special times that I got to feed pumped breast milk. There is no one right amount to feed babies, but there are some good rules of thumb. Most newborns take two or three ounces at a time and by 4 weeks, the average amount has gone up to four ounces.
