Medela's tear-off handout on Breastmilk Collection and Storage has a table
of average intake by age and by weight.

0-2 months        2-5 oz. per feeding
2-4 months        4-6 oz. per feeding
4-6 months        5-7 oz. per feeding

 8 lbs.                21.3 oz. in 24 hours
 9 lbs.                24.0 oz. in 24 hours
10 lbs.               26.7 oz. in 24 hours
11 lbs.               29.3 oz. in 24 hours
12 lbs.               32.0 oz. in 24 hours
14 lbs.               37.3 oz. in 24 hours
16 lbs.               42.7 oz. in 24 hours

The reference they provide for the above is:
Renfrew M, Fisher C, and Arms S.:  Bestfeeding:  Getting Breastfeeding Right
For You, p. 95, 1990.

My appologies to our international friends...they do not inculde metric
figures.
