How much breast milk does a 10-month-old need?

Typical breastfed ranges; your pediatrician has the final word · Updated July 2026

Quick answer: A 10-month-old typically takes 18 to 24 oz per day, roughly 6 to 7 oz per feed across 3 to 4 feeds. Every baby is its own baby: steady weight gain and wet diapers outrank any chart, including this one.

What this age is really about

Milk still outranks cow's milk (that switch waits for the first birthday), but volumes drift down as meals grow. Morning and bedtime feeds are typically the last strongholds and the most beloved.

The pumping-mom angle

If weaning from the pump is your plan at 12 months, this is the age to sketch the glide path rather than stopping abruptly later.

Bottle math for this age

Daily ounces ÷ feeds = the bottle. At 18 to 24 oz across 3 to 4 feeds, portion storage in amounts near 6 to 7 oz so leftovers never hit the 2-hour discard rule. Small bags waste less at every age.
