A newborn typically drinks about 1.5 to 3 ounces (45 to 90 milliliters) every 2 to 3 hours. In the first few weeks, newborns usually take 2 to 3 ounces per feeding, and this amount gradually increases as they grow. By the time a baby is about 2 months old, they may drink about 4 to 5 ounces per feeding every 3 to 4 hours. Generally, newborns drink approximately 24 to 32 ounces of breast milk or formula per day in total. It's important to watch for hunger cues and let the baby stop when full.
