Hehe, it's just that I reeeeeally dont have much extra in my supply so if I want a stash in august then I'd better start now (I could probably only get like 4oz a day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464579 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:16:15 +0000 littleveesmommy 464579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 10.5 months and I do notice that she is taking less milk than she was around 6 months. At 6 months she was nursing in the morning and night plus three 5 oz bottles so I would say 25-30 oz a day. Now at 10.5 months she still nurses day and night but drinks less, and she only takes three 3-4 oz bottles during the day, so 19-22 oz a day. She really loves her solids so she naturally cut back on the milk herself. </p> <p>Just for reference:<br /> breakfast - milk and 3 oz fruit purée plus 2 spoonfuls yogurt or a fresh mozzarella cheese stick<br /> lunch - milk and 3-4 oz veggie and meat porridge (i.e. pumpkin and chicken) plus 2 oz fruit purée<br /> snack - milk and puffs or fruit (banana)<br /> dinner - 4 oz veggie and meat porridge plus 2 oz fruit purée, then nurse to sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464549 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 00:15:56 +0000 sunny 464549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: wow you're so organized to be thinking that far in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464546 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 00:07:00 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 464546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: yes, yes...thanks for that reality check. You're right &amp; I need to try my best at pumping and try to remember it isn't life or death! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464536 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 23:36:13 +0000 brownie 464536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is what Kelly mom says <a href="http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/pumping/milkcalc/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/pumping/milkcalc/</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464527 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 23:11:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 464527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just pump as much as you can, but don't stress if he doesn't get exclusive breastmilk. it doesn't have to be all or nothing! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464526 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 23:08:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 464526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: omgosh that is a lot! I was hoping it would be much less since solids will be involved in his diet by then:/ And thank you:) but looks like if hes drinking that much milk--I may not be able to wean him in time for Ramadan because I may not have the stash:/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464468 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 20:42:46 +0000 brownie 464468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is still doing 5 feedings at 20 months. It's been the same for a while. So that is about 20-25 ounces a day. Kelly's mom has some numbers too. Good luck on weaning and fasting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-lo-take-at-10-12m#post-464443 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:44:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 464443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to pump &amp; store little by little from here until LO is 10.5m (about 7.5m from now) so I can stop BFing at 10.5m. I still want LO to have BM until 12 months though. So, I need to know how much milk I need stored to get him from 10.5months to one year without running out of BM. </p> <p>*If you are wondering why I have to stop BFing at 10.5m: it is because it will be our month of Ramadan and I'll be fasting (which usually diminishes supply). I can *not* fast, but I already missed Ramadan this year because I was pregnant so I don't want to miss 2 years in a row!</p> <p>ETA: Oh &amp; please tell me how much at a time (how many feedings, how many ounces) so that I can properly bag the milk into serving size baggies. </p>
