Feeding quantities on milk when I go back to work

Hi all.


I am looking for some advice regarding how much milk my baby needs during the day, when I am back at work.

She is exclusively breastfed on demand right now, she is just over 7 months, she is used to bottle feeding (EBM) during the first few months.

When I go back to work in a few weeks I will be able to feed her a few times before I go (up to 8.30am) and then when I get back around 6.30pm.

I have been pumping & have a big stock in the freezer and plan to pump a few times at work to maintain the supply.

How many mls should my husband give during the day? We were thinking perhaps a feed at around 12 and then another at 3pm? We have just started solids so he’d give her breakfast, lunch and a snack too. Should we offer say 120ml for each feed?

I could just about feed her during my lunch break if necessary but would prefer to avoid.

We aren’t too sure so any tips from people in similar situations would be great, guessing its going to be trial and error!

Thanks
