How many oz of BM does your 8mo intake?

When MrTerry comes home he has suggested we get a room for a night.  That means I will need to pump enough milk for him.  Problem is that he nurses around the clock and I need to figure out some time to get this done.  I don't even know how much for each feeding.  He also still nurses once (maybe twice during the night).

Ugh!  I have two weeks to build a one day supply.

About 4 ounces at a time, occasionally 5. I don't think even now at almost a year old she's ever had anymore than that at once.?

I'd just pump right after he nurses in the morning & freeze it in 2 ounce increments, thaw as needed.  That way you can build up slowly & not waste any later - then you also have backup if it's not all used. 

DS takes about 8-12oz between 8am - 6pm with 2 solids feedings in there.  Beyond that I don't know but he's still up 2-3x a night nursing as well.

it's about 25/oz day b so I would shoot for 30  and start with 3 oz bottles.  ds took 4-5 oz

I think 8 mos was close to the peak for us.  She was eating 5-6oz bottles at daycare and her schedule was roughly every 3 hours throughout the day and night.  She was only on 1 meal a day at that point though, and she weighed  about 20 lbs at that point.
