How old is your LO and how often/how many ounces do they drink at daycare?

My Lo started daycare at 6 months and I brought 3 bottles at the time for her to drink at 10 am, 1 pm, and 4 pm. They were 6 oz. They transitioned her one bottle at a time to a sippy cup and by 1 year we were on whole milk and sippy cups so I didn't have to bring bottles anymore.

Between 2-4 months my son drank four 3 oz bottles of breastmilk for a total of 12 oz per 10 hour day with me coming to nurse him at lunch. One bottle every 2 - 2.5 hours.
Between 4-8 months my son drank three 5 oz bottles of breastmilk for a total of 15 oz per 10 hour day with me coming to nurse him at lunch. One bottle every 2.5 - 3 hours.
Between 8-12 months my son drank three 5 oz bottles of formula for a total of 15 oz per 9 hour day (no mid-day nursing session). One bottle every 3 - 3.5 hours.
He has since transitioned to sippy cups and whole milk so I don't track it anymore.

Between 3-6 months she took four 4 ounce bottles (16 ounces total) in a 10 hour day. Occasionally she would have a long nap and not get to the fourth bottle.
Now after 6 months and starting to eat more solids, she is down to three 5 ounce bottles (15 ounces total) in a 10 hour day. We are trying to get her to drink all three since she is still nursing in the middle of the night and would like her to try to stop that feeding. This is all BM so formula would obviously be different.
