Every once in a while, with 4 ounces there is a little left over, but usually the bottle is empty! Then maybe I should bump her up to 4.5 ounces for a day or so, and then to 5 if she is still finishing them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-bm-at-45-months#post-510663 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:32:57 +0000 HabesBabe 510663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO drank about 4-5 oz. when she had a bottle around that age. I remember us switching to the bigger Avent bottles around that time, so she drank more than 4 oz. most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-bm-at-45-months#post-510662 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:32:55 +0000 cascademom 510662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send between 12-16 ounces of breastmilk to the daycare daily. He eats what's sent usually 4 ounces at a time. I would love to know how much he's eating when he's feeding with me like a breastmilk boob meter, so I know that he's getting enough during the day while I'm at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-bm-at-45-months#post-510658 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:32:09 +0000 hilsy85 510658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pedi said that there should always be a teeny bit left over in the bottle when LO is done, so if she's finishing 4.5 oz completely, I would try giving her 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-bm-at-45-months#post-510641 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:29:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 510641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Today when I pumped, I put the milk into bottles at 4.5 ounces instead of just 4 ounces. Feeding her 5, routinely, seems like a bit much, but then again, maybe not? Just when I think I have something figured out, then I don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-bm-at-45-months#post-510623 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:25:48 +0000 Bao 510623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question, my LO is 4.5 months too and she will be going to my moms in a few days for a few hours and it would be nice to know how much milk to send. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ounces-bm-at-45-months#post-510618 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:24:51 +0000 MsLipGloss 510618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there is the calculation thingy on Kelly Mom (and based on that, my LO should be eating 3.5ish ounces per feeding-she routinely eats 4), but yesterday she downed 5 ounces of pumped breastmilk, and I am wondering what some of your averages were? </p>
