My guy is 7 months and he drinks 3 3.5 oz bottles while I'm away (10.5oz total).
How much do you pump/send with your LO when you're at work?
-
I send about 11 oz to daycare. She's 5 months old. She also drinks formula, though, since we are apart for over 10 hours and she has a big appetite.
-
depending on if i nurse in the morning or not, she will drink 11-14 oz while i'm gone. i leave 15-17 oz just in case she is extra hungry. there has been a handful of times where she drank 16-17 oz. she is 6 mos old.

My Lo is 8 months and drinks 16 oz while at daycare. I usually pump exactly this amount. Before solids she was taking 20 oz and during that time I could barely keep up but I did. She eats every 2 hours. We tried bigger bottles (more oz/bottle) but she leaves them unfinished.

He's 13 weeks on Saturday and he's been drinking 3 4-oz bottles this week his first week at daycare. I pump 14-18 ounces a day depending on whether I add a nighttime pump to my 3 work sessions (so I'm pumping or nursing every 3 hours).
ETA I'm a whore for the freezer stash and am very protective of my supply and don't want any major dips, which is why I sometimes add a nighttime pump even though I've been able to pump more than enough for him during the day. I don't do it if I'm really exhausted though, like last night I totally skipped it because I figured sleep was more important

LO is 5 months old and eats 12-15 ounces while she's away from me (always 3 bottles, given at 3 hour intervals, but each bottle ranges from 4 to 5 ounces depending on how much I pumped the day before).
-
L is 3.5 months and drinks 3 or 4 4 oz bottles depending on whether I bf him at lunch. Sometimes he eats the whole bottle, sometimes he leave .5-1 oz in it. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
I'm averaging 15-18 oz a day, I guess. On the weekends and Mondays I only pump before bed. And it's all off right now bc he is in a growth spurt and nursing more than usual.

D is 3.5 months and I send 3 5oz bottles with him to daycare. He typically takes all of one or two, and then 3 or 4oz with the 3rd. I am pumping 5 times a day (first thing in the morning, I pump the side he hasn't nursed on), 3x at work, then once right before bed. I'm averaging about 18-24oz a day.
-
LO is 4.5 months and I send three 5oz bottles.
-
DS is 4.5 months and I send three 5 - 5.5oz bottles. He's large and in charge and drinks it all
-
My lo is 3 1/2 months adjusted and drinks about 20 ounces a day, so he'll probably need 8 or so while I'm gone.

My kid is 6 months and has solids once a day. I send 22 oz a day to daycare (not including the BM that gets used to make cereal or thin his food). He cleans it all up. I pump between 20 to 24 oz a day. I envy people with kids that eat less. I could cut out a pumping session if he wasn't such a piglet.
-
See, I thought I wasn't sending very much milk with him each day! 10 oz doesn't seem like very much. I was sending a 4th 3.5oz bottle, but he wasn't drinking it. I wonder if I should add in some pumping sessions (I do 3x and barely cover the 10oz) to make a 4th bottle?
-
My DS is 7 months and I pump 20 oz a day and send that same amount to daycare. (I'm gone for 9 hrs)
-
DS is almost 8months, I send 11-12oz per day and pump around that much. He also gets solids two times while at the sitter's house.
