A member asked:

My 2 month old only latches on my left breast and i hand pump about 2.5 oz out the right. how do i know how much to give him? 10lbs baby

A doctor has provided 1 answer

On average: a 2 month old baby will drink 2.5-4 ounces of breast milk every 2 1/2-3 hours. The best indicators of adequate intake are satiety, adequate weight gain, and urine output of 5 or more wet diapers per day.
