Mine is 8 months and takes four 4oz bottles while I'm at work, nurses in the morning and evening and sometimes overnight (most nights.) she used to take one more bottle during the day, but dropped it after we started solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-when-did-you-start-cutting-down-the-amount-of-milk-per-day#post-766421 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:43:18 +0000 jennylynn 766421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EBF on my days off, and she gets bottles of expressed BM when I'm at work. She's always only taken 3 oz bottles at a time, and has always finished them. For about a month now, it's been a struggle to get her to finish a bottle, and this week she's maybe been drinking half of each bottle. She BFs in the morning before I leave, and then gets 4 3 oz bottles throughout the day. I'm afraid that's not enough milk, but it also seems like such a waste to keep offering her bottles she's not interested in. Our ped told us she still needs around 18 oz of milk a day, but there's no way she's getting that. When is it ok to cut back on milk? LO is 1 year old </p>
