Breastfeeding

EP'ers help me out

Since I BF, i don't really know how much River is eating at a session or total for the whole day.  Can you tell me roughly how much and how often your DC gets in a day?  I will tell her to feed on demand as we have been doing but she is very schedule oriented.  I have been trying to keep track of times he's been BFing but I know bottle feeding and the boob aren't comparable!

(this is to help MIL out when we are OOT next week)

TIA!

  • usually most moms will say anywhere between 20-40oz.

    Gisele does the higher end- some days it is around 45 oz (with solids as well).

  • Jocelyn is only a week old, but she eats 2 oz every 3 hours.
  • Hi there!  At 6 months, Alyssa was getting 8 ounces per feeding, four times a day.
  • DS moved up to 6 oz every 3 hours during the day (about 5 bottles/day) around 6 mos and is still eating about that much plus a little bit of solids. ?He was a preemie, so he tends to eat a bit less than most full term babies of his same age.
