And how old is your LO?
My LO is almost 5 weeks and we offer 3 ounces but she never finishes! She gets 1 bottle a day and I breast feed her for the rest of her feedings.
-
Before DS went on a bottle strike he was drinking 6-7 ounces at 2 months!
-
Around that age I think around 2.5 oz?
At 12 mos he takes 6 pretty consistently and has for the past 3 mos maybe.
-
This is the worst. I never ever get it right. At 5 weeks, LO was eating ~ 3oz
-
16 weeks, 4 ounces 3x a day (then I nurse twice a day and lately he's been waking up 3 TIMES A NIGHT to eat. but more typically 1-2 times).
I tried upping it to 4.5 ounces back when he had only 1 night waking, but that didn't last long and he was leaving .5 ounces and I hate wasting breastmilk, so we went back down to 4 for now.
-
At almost 8 months I offer 6 ounces. He usually eats 5 or 6.
-
At 8 months, LO is getting 8 oz at each of his 4 bottle feedings. He's also on solids twice/day.
-
at 4 months, DS takes 8oz, 4x a day. He is a big dude.
-
L is 4 months and takes 4 oz 4x/day at daycare. He nurses twice before daycare and twice after, and at least 1 night feeding, sometimes two.
-
It various throughout the day. But while she is at daycare she has three feedings that are 2-3oz of breastmilk immediately followed by 4 oz of formula.
-
After her solids she usually eats 4oz, and the rest of the day she eats 6oz. She's been stuck at 6oz for nearly 2 months now.
-
We send Xander to daycare with four 5oz bottles (and he drinks three of them, one every three hours). He doesn't always finish all 5oz, but sometimes he does. We send the extra bottle in case he's still hungry, though I'm just hoping he never drinks it because I can't pump much more than 15 oz during the day!
-
7 weeks old and she takes 5oz every 3 to 4 hours. She thinks she's always hungry lol
-
At almost 8 weeks old, usually 4 oz. sometimes she wants more and I'll make 2 oz of formula in case she wastes it
-
9 months old & does either 4 or 8 oz, depending.
-
9 weeks old, 3-4oz per bottle, depending on if he's going through a growth spurt or just ravenous
-
Mine is 5 months old and we just started introducing bottles of pumped milk this month while I'm at work. He drinks 1.5-2 oz at a time, with 2-3 bottles depending on how long I'm gone. He makes up for it by nursing more when I'm at home, including overnight. I think it's called reverse cycling.
-
4mo and takes 5 oz 5x a day while I work
-
Update to my earlier post, he's 17 weeks now and we just upped his bottles to 5 oz at the recommendation of his daycare teachers. They're really good about reading his cues so I know it wasn't a mistake of tired versus hungry -- he really was that hungry, he finished all his bottles yesterday (and he typically won't finish if he doesn't want it). Little boy's growth spurting!!
-
@Adira: I do the exact same thing. I'm so bummed with she drinks the 4th bottle because then I have to scramble the rest of the night to pump enough for the next day.
-
At that age it was 3 ounces.
Now she's 20 weeks and takes 5-6 ounces (Mommy likes to give 5 oz, Daddy likes to give 6 oz and a take a little spit up...)
-
LO is 4.5 mo and generally takes 4 oz every two hours or so at day care.
-
@78h2o: Right!! Last time he drank it, I luckily was able to pump enough to cover it, but only by accident! I had added a third pump session in my day because one of my breasts still felt engorged after my first pumping session. But normally I'd never be able to get another 5oz out!
-
I send 3 4oz bottles to day care. Today she ate2ozs, 3ozs, and 4ozs.
