Breast milk feeding mamas

*glitch*

I think the general rule is 1-1.5 ounces per hour between feedings. So if LO eats every 3 hours then 3-4.5 ounces per 3 hours. However, about that age my DS showed serious signs of needing closer to the 4.5-5 ounces. I’ve heard of some only needing 3. Just depends.

@bmr thank you!

I would send 10oz with my son when he was around 4 months old. He was usually at the sitter’s for 9ish hours. She also had an extra 4oz in her freezer if she ever needed it.

I would say 5oz for every two hours just to be safe. But I’m a MAJOR over packer. I think it’s better to have too much than too little.

I would have 8oz. Good luck. He might want to comfort nurse when your gone.

I have an almost 3 month old on breast milk, she goes 4oz every 3/4 hours

I made some instructions for 5/6oz bags. Use 3 oz refrigerate rest unless needed. She'll be good for sure for my first 2 days. Thank heavens I still have a bit to pump for the other 2.

Should I bring my manual pump just to keep up with her schedule?

My daughter is 4 months and 15 lbs. when we can actually get her to take a bottle she will drink 4-5 ounces.

Shay- YES you need to pump while you’re gone! For sure!

Yes bring it. You will regret it if you don't.
