per serving and how often? I EBF my LO 4-6 times a day depending on if he wakes in the night and how distracted his is for afternoon feedings (big brother tends to be main distraction!). I have no idea how much he is taking in. I'm going on a girls weekend for 2 days in 2 weeks and I have no idea how much to tell my husband to give him each feeding.
Also, I have about 20 oz frozen breastmilk to use that weekend. Should I start pumping every night for more? Like around 10 or so? (He goes to bed at 7 and either wakes at 4 to nurse or STTN till 7 am). Or just supplement that 20 with formula? He had a little formula his first month when he had jaundice issues and I use it now for his rice cereal, so I know he's OK to have it.
Re: How many oz formula or breastmilk for 7 month old?
ETA; oh sorry i didn't answer your whole question. she drinks 5ozs every 3ish hours and solids 3 times a day

DS will be 7 months on the 3rd; he drinks BM in combination with 3 meals per day with BM in them. Each bottle (4 times per day) is usually about 6 oz.
Thank goodness he was so interested in food though because before that he was drinking a bottle of 7oz of BM every 2 hours and I could hardly keep up!
Dup.
this. I think you should definitely either pump more so that you've got at least 50 oz frozen for the weekend, or you need to make sure your LO will also take formula in a bottle instead of BM. It's great that you already know that formula is tolerated just fine.
How many bottles does you LO have a day?
Take LO's weight. Calculate 50 calories per lb and divide that into bottles and solid food.
Were having an issue with LO not feeding well so this is the forumla her Dr. gave us to follow.
