He is always full after the 4 oz. I often wonder how much he gets from nursing .... I seriously doubt he gets 4 oz at each feeding ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/giving-pumped-milk-before-bedtime-nursing#post-642465 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:29:56 +0000 immabeetoo 642465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Is that 4 oz + nursing?? or only the 4 oz??</p> <p>same question@chopsuey119 ... surely that is just 6 oz (no nursing)... right!! </p> <p>I have no clue what he takes in via le boobs - I don't want to overfill him by offering too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/giving-pumped-milk-before-bedtime-nursing#post-642401 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:22:45 +0000 chopsuey 642401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Lately I've been nursing all day and giving my LO a bottle before bed time (don't want him to go on a bottle strike).<br /> Today he got 6 ounces. And I nursed him a bit maybe an hour later.<br /> He always drinks around 6-8 ounces before bedtime and has been sleeping through the night since he was 4 weeks old or so. He's 12 weeks old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/giving-pumped-milk-before-bedtime-nursing#post-642378 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:20:20 +0000 pl0508 642378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a 4 oz bottle (7 wks) around 7:30 and put him down. If he is still awake an hr or so later and won't go down I nurse him to sleep ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/giving-pumped-milk-before-bedtime-nursing#post-642139 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:49:00 +0000 immabeetoo 642139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: durrr that would help! He is 16 weeks on Sunday. Normally eats around 7a - 10a - 1p - 4p - 6p -and somewhere between 12:30-3 A </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/giving-pumped-milk-before-bedtime-nursing#post-642007 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:31:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 642007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old? I think about 2-4 ounces is about right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/giving-pumped-milk-before-bedtime-nursing#post-641990 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:28:43 +0000 immabeetoo 641990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both LO and I have been sick for a few days and I feel like my supply has dipped - and his night sleeps seem shorter as a result of it. Tonight I gave him 2 oz of pumped milk after he nursed and he slurped it up in a hot minute - normally he hates bottles if he's getting them during the day from DH and I'm gone so I was shocked!</p> <p>If you give pumped milk before bedtime, how much do you give? If it helps him sleep.. maybe I should do it all the time!</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
