She used to weigh us before we fed and then again after we fed to see how many ounces we "gained"! </p> Mrs. Bee on "Do you ever count how many gulps of breastmilk your LO takes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-count-how-many-gulps-of-breastmilk-your-lo-takes#post-64982 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:24:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 64982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've never thought to do that. i base it on how long she feeds + how empty my boob feels. i do have an infant scale though so i'm gonna have to weigh her one of these days. </p> chopsuey on "Do you ever count how many gulps of breastmilk your LO takes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-count-how-many-gulps-of-breastmilk-your-lo-takes#post-64979 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:23:03 +0000 chopsuey 64979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Great idea! I would totally do it if we had an infant scale at home. </p> mrbee on "Do you ever count how many gulps of breastmilk your LO takes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-count-how-many-gulps-of-breastmilk-your-lo-takes#post-64964 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:09:06 +0000 mrbee 64964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who weighs their LO before and after every feeding! </p> Rubies on "Do you ever count how many gulps of breastmilk your LO takes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-count-how-many-gulps-of-breastmilk-your-lo-takes#post-64912 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:08:49 +0000 Rubies 64912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't count gulps but I watch the clock. If she is drinking for more than 10 minutes straight on one boob, I'm happy. </p> chopsuey on "Do you ever count how many gulps of breastmilk your LO takes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-count-how-many-gulps-of-breastmilk-your-lo-takes#post-64909 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:07:42 +0000 chopsuey 64909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know why I do this.. maybe because I can't see how many ounces she actually takes? </p> <p>I find myself counting the number of gulps she takes every single time I feed her. It makes me really happy when she takes at least 100 gulps from one side. </p> <p>Am I the only one who does this.. ? :P </p>
