That being said, I think he would drink just about as much as he was offered. Dude's a big eater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225603 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 20:04:32 +0000 KayKay 2225603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I was planning for 30oz a day (worst case) and told my mom to expect 28ish. But she was pretty consistent with 25ish and still slept through the night so it must've been fine! Maybe she is getting more from solids than I realize! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225598 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 20:00:13 +0000 winniebee 2225598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KayKay: so interesting. I've not been away a full day from him since he was 3m and then he would drink 4 is every 3 hours. </p> <p>He eats once overnight so usually 7 feeds in 24 hours. I'm guessing he drinks more like 28 oz a day but who really knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225594 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:56:54 +0000 matador84 2225594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD never drank more than probably 4 oz from a bottle. I rarely ever had to use our larger bottles and was able to build up a gigantic freezer stash.</p> <p>DS always wanted more and I never had enough...he would take 6 oz or more on occasion. Some babies at daycare take 8 oz. and it is shocking to me that a baby could ever take that much just because mine never did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225590 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:55:24 +0000 blackbird 2225590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's only two months old, but 3.5 oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225580 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:46:07 +0000 KayKay 2225580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 7 months (so probably peak milk quantity before solids really start to offset), the most E has taken is 7oz. But usually it's more like 4-5ish. I was just away from her for a week, and each day she averaged about 24-25oz total over 5 feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225527 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:06:46 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2225527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 oz when no distractions (so at home, or in the AM at daycare which seems to be quieter than the afternoons). 3-3.5 oz in public or at daycare in the afternoon when distractions are abundant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225511 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:53:43 +0000 regberadaisy 2225511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: lol We pre make the bottles for daycare so I've never tested to see if she'll drink more! But I think 3.5 is all she "needs". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225505 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:47:28 +0000 dolphin 2225505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6oz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225502 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:43:07 +0000 winniebee 2225502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @MsMini: hmm I don't think Ryan has the mental chip that tells him to stop. For solids or bottles. He just goes and goes like I'm starving him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225495 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:33:41 +0000 MsMini 2225495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She did 5 oz once, but usually &lt;3oz. She almost never takes a little though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225493 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:32:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2225493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only make 3.5 ounce bottles for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-your-breastfed-baby-will-drink-from-a-bottle#post-2225492 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:31:31 +0000 winniebee 2225492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read elsewhere today on HB that breastfed babies cap out at a certain number of oz from a bottle. Something to do with the fat content in breastmilk adapting to baby's needs. I'm curious what's the most your BF baby has taken from a bottle? R seems like he will drink whatever is offered and the most I have offered is 7 oz but he will drink 5 no problem. He's almost 7 months and He gets a bottle a day but I just give him whatever I pump. </p>
