I went to a wedding when was slightly younger, with a similar time frame. I nursed right before I left, and LO got a bottle three hours after that. I nursed three hours after the bottle. I did not pump at the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2126542 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 09:25:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2126542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That right about when I went back to work so it was 4oz every 3 hours </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2126535 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 09:22:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2126535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is a week from being 4 mo and she pretty much drinks 12 oz during my work day. She sometimes drinks 4-4-4, but sometime she does 2-5-5, 3-4-5, etc... you get the idea! She has never wanted to drink more than 5 tho.</p> <p>If I nurse her I feel like it's under 4 esp if she only takes 1 side, but who knows? I never did a weighted feed and they are supposed to be more efficient in getting milk from you than the pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2126408 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:05:28 +0000 namaste 2126408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A takes 4oz, usually every 2.5-3 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125721 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 07:50:19 +0000 danda 2125721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not totally sure at 3 months, but at 4 months my EBF daughter started daycare and would take 2.5-3 oz every 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125716 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 07:41:17 +0000 Miss Ariel 2125716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do 4 ounces a feed, normally about every 2.5 hours or so and she's 3.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125638 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 03:34:15 +0000 Adira 2125638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander drank 5 oz every 3 hours at that age. Logan has 4-4.5 oz every 3 hours. When I am with Logan though, he nurses every 2 hours.</p> <p>I pump every 3 hours when I am away from Logan, even though we nurse more frequently when we are together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125598 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 00:20:39 +0000 PurplePeony 2125598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, my LO took a 3.5 oz bottle every 3 hours while at daycare (pumped BM). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125300 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 16:32:13 +0000 Pumuckl 2125300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD takes 5oz but she only has 5 feeds in a 24 hour period. Also the amount they nurse can vary during the day so I'd leave some extra just in case. </p> <p>I'd only pump when you get uncomfortable at the wedding otherwise I'd wait until you get back to nurse her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125120 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 12:00:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2125120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Formula. I really wish we had some local donate milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125118 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 11:55:16 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2125118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: i think you can just wait to get home to pump. Your supply is probably well established by now. Enjoy yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125094 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 10:52:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 2125094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: holy cow!! formula though? or donated milk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125084 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 10:31:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2125084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My one month old is taking 6 oz/feed. He's either going to be a giant or is going through a growth spurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125078 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 10:20:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 2125078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>now if we'll only be gone 5 hours (we aren't staying much past dinner), I'll leave 3 2-oz bottles?</p> <p>do I HAVE to pump every 2?! or can I go longer? at night she sometimes sleeps 5-6 hours straight. so could i wait til I'm engorged, or even maybe just til I get home and nurse her then? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125058 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 09:50:37 +0000 catomd00 2125058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would leave 1oz per hour gone (1.24-1.5 if you want to be extra safe!) at that age I think my DD was probably taking 3 oz every 3 hours.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125051 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 09:42:46 +0000 LBee 2125051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He ate 5 ozs at that age, but he's a fat kid </p> <p>I would leave 3 ozs just in case. Babies often want more from bottle than the breast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2125043 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 09:32:48 +0000 Radish 2125043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember A would only take about 2 oz at a time at that age. I froze milk is smaller quantities because of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124942 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 07:52:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2124942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a weighed feed at the peds office when C was two months. She took 2.5 oz and had nursed 1.5 hours earlier. She's on the every two hour schedule during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124938 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 07:50:24 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2124938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J takes 4 oz, but i feed her every 3.5 hrs. So 1.8 sounds about right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124923 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 07:32:45 +0000 hilary 2124923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 mo old twins take about 5oz but eat every 4 hours. If your LO eats every 2 hours than 2-3 oz should be plenty. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124894 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 07:01:55 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2124894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's eating every two hours probably 2! But try to leave enough so your mom can offer a bit more if she seems hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124892 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 06:58:45 +0000 Rocker2014 2124892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO took 2-3 oz every 2ish hours at 3mos. (During the day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124891 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 06:58:36 +0000 MrsF 2124891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J is 4 months and takes 4.5 oz. he's a chunker though. I think he would gulp down as much as he was offered before even realizing he was full.</p> <p>My guess is he doesn't take as much when he is nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-oz#post-2124888 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 06:53:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 2124888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your three month old take?</p> <p>We have a wedding right before DD turns 3 months. She took an oz from my mom this week while we were over but then seemed hungry so I nursed her and she nursed another 4 min or so. </p> <p>I used the Medela scale at a local place yesterday to see how much she takes in nursing (she wants to nurse every 2 hours on the dot, sometimes longer). I weighed her before (11 lbs even) and weighed her after (it said 11.1.8 .. The arrow was set to lbs/oz though??)</p> <p>Does this mean 1.8 oz? I'm so stressed over this bottle feeding thing! I want to leave a few freshly pumped instead of frozen. DD1 never took frozen milk I think bc of lipase. </p>
