Milk consumption tends to have more to do with weight than age. I would
expect a 2mo to consume 2-3oz. of milk per day per pound of weight. So a 10
lb. 2mo would be expected to eat between 20 and 30 oz. per day, while a 12
lber. the same age would consume between 24 and 36 oz.

I believe that amount per pound tends to hold until between 4 and 6 months
of age, when weight gain tends to slow down and babies begin to eat other
foods.
