The data I memorized a long time ago was that the average exclusively
breastfed baby is reported to consume 750 to 850 cc/day or 24 to 28
oz/day, somewhat under a liter, and under a quart, a day. So right smack
in the middle there, 800 cc times 70 cal/cc,  or 26 oz times 20 calories
per ounce, both standard figures tossed around-- will give you 560 cal
or 520 cal.
