How much breast milk at months 1-6 did your baby drink?

Different sources give conflicting information about the amount of breast milk babies drink between 1 and 6 months. Some say their intake increases steadily, while others say their intake stays about the same during this period. What has been your experience? Thanks!

Thanks @meltwithyou!

Yes, Kellymom and some other reputable sites indicate little variation, but some others suggest otherwise (e.g. https://www.justmommies.com/articles/breastfeeding-calculator.php).

There were a few growth spurts, but I provided the same amount of milk from week 10 to 1yr for our sitter to use during the day. If LO wanted to nurse more when together we did. It seemed my supply stated consistent the first 6 months.
