A member asked:

How many breast feeding milk out of a bottle can a 12 week old baby drink?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing post: I suppose you mean how much can they hold at a feeding. In the US we use a mantra 1/2 their wt. in lb. X ounces. Since you posted an age rather than weight you must sort this out. When a kid will take it all, 5cc can be added to every next feed until they leave some behind.
