She's not growing though so her intake is a little more concerning. She just wants solids way more than she wants to nurse. 😞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2509595 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 13:03:20 +0000 MrsSRS 2509595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We nurse on demand, but I bet it's 15-20 oz during the day. Plus ALL the food and water omg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2509567 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 12:53:16 +0000 mrsjyw 2509567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: my DS1 was the same way all the way up to close to one year just before he weaned a month or two later! </p> <p>@Ash: I'm guessing on a good day he's getting 20oz, but more like 15-16 oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508490 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 15:00:47 +0000 Ash 2508490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost wrote this same post today. </p> <p>Dd is 9 months and her breastmilk intake has decreased tremendously since her interest in solids increased this past month. But I feed on demand too and have no clue how much she's taking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508482 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 14:53:28 +0000 edelweiss 2508482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is interesting. i nurse LO2 (almost 9 months old) at wakeup and bedtime, and he gets 3 bottles during the day at daycare, about 6-7 oz each. jesus he drinks a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508173 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 11:48:52 +0000 Mama Bird 2508173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! DD gets maybe 16-20 oz on a good day, and I've been worried that's not enough, but sounds like it's in the ballpark! She's gaining weight well, and we're giving her yogurt for extra dairy. I can tell she needs a bit more fluids, but hopefully we'll figure out a way to get her to drink more when the weather gets hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508132 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 11:02:07 +0000 gingerbebe 2508132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was on mostly breastmilk and one bottle of formula per day (4 feedings a day) for a total of 22-24oz beginning at 6 months. At 9 months he really started fighting his bottles and went down to about 16-20oz a day, with 4 feedings a day. Ped said it was a littler earlier than normal to begin weaning but to take his lead and try to get him to take 16oz a day and offer water too. Between 9-10 months I just weaned to formula for a lot of reasons but one of them was that with my low supply pumping took hours out of my day and if he didn't want to drink his milk I didn't want to get resentful over it! By 1 year the booger barely took 8-12oz a day, which the ped said was fine if he had water and other sources of dairy in his diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508119 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:52:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 2508119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We nurse/feed probably the same schedule as you. Right when DD wakes up, then after her morning nap around 11ish, then after her afternoon nap around 3:30-4ish, then once before bed. Although she has been waking up 1-2x per night, and I will nurse her back to sleep form one side, maybe getting a few oz then?</p> <p>My DD is almost 10 months, but has been on this schedule for the last month or 2 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508030 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:57:39 +0000 Adira 2508030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids took three 5 oz bottles, plus nursing 1-2 more times a day at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508028 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:55:28 +0000 DenverMom 2508028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 month little girl takes 4 oz at a time. We nurse at home and she takes a bottle at daycare at around 8:30, 12:30, and 3:00. I've asked her daycare teachers if she seems like she's hungry and they've said that the 4 oz seems to be the right amount for her. She's happy and satisfied afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-bm-for-your-89-month-old#post-2508005 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:38:03 +0000 mrsjyw 2508005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We EBF, and I only pump one day a week when I'm in the office, so I don't have a solid number. But, DS2 has not been a fan of nursing during the day and it's only gotten worse since we've ramped up his solids intake. He's gaining well so I'm not overall concerned, but I would really like to nurse until one year and make sure he's getting enough milk for his age.</p> <p>Right now, he nurses 4x (Morning, 2x during the day, and before bedtime). His morning session he probably takes in 6-8 oz? the 2 daytime sessions 3oz? and probably only 2-3 oz at bedtime... </p>
