How much breast milk does a 11-month-old need?

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

Quick answer: A 11-month-old typically takes 16 to 22 oz per day, roughly 6 to 8 oz per feed across 3 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

The pre-birthday rhythm: three milk feeds anchoring three meals. Intake below 20 oz with hearty eating is common and fine; hydration starts sharing the job with water in a cup.

The pumping-mom angle

Whatever remains in the freezer either gets used in this window, blended into oatmeal and smoothies, or aged out; a stash countdown beats a sad purge.

Bottle math for this age

Daily ounces ÷ feeds = the bottle. At 16 to 22 oz across 3 feeds, portion storage in amounts near 6 to 8 oz so leftovers never hit the 2-hour discard rule. Small bags waste less at every age.
