I pump from 12-14 oz during that time, but he drinks 18! It's crazy. I added another pump session before I go to bed and after he's down for the night. He's 8 mos now, and he's eating lots of solids at daycare, so I'm hoping he'll want less milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612978 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:59:49 +0000 yellowbird 612978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is away for 10 hours and drinks 18-20 oz while at daycare.

I sent 13 oz and she drank 11.5 in about 10 hrs. She's 3 mo old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612869 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:20:29 +0000 mamabolt 612869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's at daycare 10ish hours and drinks 18 oz BM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612865 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:16:57 +0000 Periwinkle 612865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He eats close to 20oz at his sitter's and I am gone from him for close to 9 hours (sniff, sniff). He also nurses in the morning and then a few times at home in the evening. </p> <p>He is almost 4 months old (how did that happen?!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612801 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:39:47 +0000 matador84 612801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is at daycare from 730 until 430 or 5...so 9ish hours and I send 2 bottles of 4 oz each. He only gets the boob at home, but they say he gets really mad when he emptys his bottle at daycare :-( so it is probably not enough, which makes me so sad...but I am giving him all I can pump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612792 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:37:46 +0000 winniebee 612792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He takes formula - but it's 15 oz in 10 hrs at daycare. Plus another 10-12 at home (and solids). He's 9.5 mos but he's taken 15 oz at daycare since he started at 5.5 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612447 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:50:03 +0000 LemonLong 612447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is at daycare for 10 hours and she eats 15 oz total (Three 5 oz bottles) She's 4 months old.

She's a bit of a porker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612304 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:07:20 +0000 mrskc 612304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm gone 6 hours and he drinks 8-12 ounces. It varies depending on when he wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612291 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:05:14 +0000 lilyann 612291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am away for 9 hours and LO will eat anywhere from 15-18 oz of breast milk, he's 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612282 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:02:57 +0000 mrsjazz 612282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ditto. I'm away for about 10 hours and she drinks 15 oz. LO is 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612279 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:01:05 +0000 mrsmenow 612279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went back to work so for my 12 hour shifts I leave 3-4 ounce bottles (12 ounces total). DD has only taken 2 of the bottle though. I work nights so it is tricky with when she will actually wake up during the night and if I will be home early enough to nurse her in the mornings so I have the third bottle for back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612276 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:00:20 +0000 regberadaisy 612276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm away from her around 9 hours and she drinks 15oz but she's 10 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-eat-the-same-amount-of-ounces-as-hours-you-are-away#post-612253 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:53:08 +0000 DillonLion 612253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are away from your LO for say 10 hours, do you pump 10 oz? Do they eat 10 oz?</p> <p>LO eats 6 oz (plus formula) while she is at daycare for 10 hours. I pump 8-10 ounces a day (3x at work, 1x after she goes to bed, nursing the other times). We send 6 oz, freeze the additional breastmilk, and supplement with formula for the remainder of her feedings. </p> <p>Now that we are a couple of weeks in, maybe we can send more breastmilk and not freeze as much. I just didn't want to be stressed out about pumping "enough" at work, so we were sending less than I was able to pump. </p>
